Part of the reason why I've gone to the ER (walk in center) is because I can never get an appointment at my family doctor until a week later than I need it, and then my ENT closed up shop and moved across country. I had gone to one ENT for years, then he got an associate (the one who just closed up) to take over the practice when he retired 3 years ago. Sigh.

So, right now, I don't have a doctor that I would go to... that's part of the problem. I just go to the walk in center and deal with them. They are really good there, but I know it's not like going to my own physician.

I thought saline rinses were supposed to help irrigate the nose and help things heal better?? I didn't think it would dry it out. The last doctor I saw at the ER who gave me the Veramyst to use said even if I just "sniffed" up salt water into my nose/sinuses, it would help. I prefer to use the saline rinses, as I don't want to snort salt water.
