I'm not up on all the new techy stuff out there.  But I did get a new laptop for Xmas which helps me to do work in bed-- an awesome beni on my bad days.  Glad to hear things are going ok.  Chat with you soon.

I don't know what happened but half of the message got cut off: Here is the rest of it:

SALINE NASAL SPRAYS can be used to help liquefy this thick mucous so it naturally drains.

Mucous can be aspirated using a rubber bulb syringe. COOL MIST HUMIDIFIERS or VAPORIZERS using plain water help humidify the air we breathe and also helps liquefy thick, stagnant mucous. Warm liquids, like soups and herbal/non-caffeinated teas will help congestion.

Contrary to popular belief, green or yellow mucous is NOT a definitive sign of a bacterial infection, like sinusitis.

However, a persistent green mucoid discharge for over ten days certainly deserves a medical examination. Vicks Vapo-Rub and other mentholated remedies are typically safe to use.
