I take a generic version of Mucinex morning and night to thin my very thick mucus (due to my dryness syndrome).

I also flush my sinuses with a saline rinse every night and use Nasacort to spray my sinuses as well.

I don't have sinus infections, but if my nose is in the least bit blocked I breathe through my mouth at night. And with my dry mouth syndrome I wind up with a mouth like something hard to describe: like a Brillo pad? Like a foreign object?

It is unbearable. So I religiously protect my nose from blocking with three different OTC products.

I'm sorry for the sinus infections others suffer. I had such unbearable pain with my first sinus infection, and could NOT believe when it didn't get better right away with an antibiotic. This was in my 30's and I was so naive about what awful things could happen to people.
