Funniest neti pot experience

I have a wicked and disgusting sinus infection and my mom introduced me to the neti pot. You basically use it to pour water into one nostril, lean over and let the water go through your nasal cavity and out of the other nostril to clean it out.

Fancy, huh? Apparently people have been doing that for centuries. idk

The only thing I could think of was "um ow" because the only time i had water go up my nose, it hurt. But I'm so desperate to be able to breathe through my nose so I did it. It didn't hurt but it did feel weird. I didn't know you had to lean down and I like leaned up a little and the water went into my mouth from my nasal cavity so I let out a strange gargle and my mom grabbed my head and leaned it down and I mean, that was the MOST DISGUSTING THING IVE EVER DONE. I was making sounds like i was dying and my mom was laughing. She knew that if I wasn't okay i would stop doing it. I was making those sounds because it felt so freaking weird but relieving at the same time. My ears felt better too.

So much snot came out of my nose and blood because my nose is so raw. it was unreal and repulsive but at least it was out and not in. I can breathe through my nostrils!!! That's amazing. I still can't smell the vapor rub im using but i can breathe it into my nose lol

Lol I found a neti pot gif
