Thank God I'd already swallowed the soda in my mouth because I would have spit it out laughing at this!
I chronicled last week's sinus infection in the sick thread. It was so bad that the pain started in my right cheek and radiated down to my upper jaw. I had to chew everything on the left side of my mouth because my TEETH hurt. The doc told me to get a saline rinse along with all the other meds. I didn't really want to consider it because I had no congestion, it was all pain. But I did as she asked and got the same thing ree-Xi got (I absolutely refused to stick a tea pot up my nose). It didn't feel bad exactly, it was just a weird sensation. And it was NOT soothing to me because, like I said, there was no congestion to get rid of. But the doc said that there was probably just a tiny bit of fluid in there since I'd had drainage a couple weeks ago and bacteria breeds in "standing water" as she called it. So there wasn't a lot of fluid to rinse away but there was probably a huge amount of bacteria in what little that was there.
