I would have liked my parents and doctor to have known this before I had mine out, as a young child.

In about 1953 I had mine removed. My mom tells me that there were about 20 kids my age in the recovery room(s). Apparently, various medical groups strongly supported the surgery. It was a fad!

This is great news. I have seasonal allergies, and I began using a saline nasal rinse several years ago whenever I would feel some sinus congestion coming on. Works like a charm.

More recently, however, I have begun using it prophylactically just about every day after I brush my teeth in the morning.

Not much profit in a simple saline nasal spray.
I’m waiting for the FDA to say that saline sprays cause cancer.

I was four when I had my tonsils out. I still remember images of that nightmarish experience.

I use hypertonic saline nasal spray for congestion/stuffiness. Shrinks the swollen membranes by sucking the water out of them. I swear by it.

Salt just jumped to $100 per pound

Bottled water was already at $5 a bottle

This is very interesting on the anti-snoring front. I assume that it would work for adults. The biggest question is how I can get my wife to do this since she “doesn’t snore.” Maybe “I’ll do it if you will” could work.

where is it made?...

[dljordan]

Shhhhh!

Those saline sprays have never worked for me at all. The only thing that works is 4Way which I can not find anymore or Afrin and/or it’s Vick’s competitor in a mist spray.

Just sharing my $.02. I installed the ap Snorelab on my andriod. It records my snoring all night long using a sound triggered mic. I’ve found that I’m not in the sleep apnea danger zone but i do snore a lot. One interesting thing ive found is Melatonin and L-Theanine before bed makes me snore less. Whooda thot?

Grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. Had tonsils and adenoids taken out in early 60’s. I remember some hellist earache too. It was before they put tubes in the ears. Sure would have saved me some horrible earache in the middle of the night.

A simple nasal spray significantly reduced snoring

Of course, there's always the "John Wesley Hardin" method.
