Hey, I have another use for a bulb syringe. My doctor said part of the reason I sometimes get sinus infections during the winter is my ears don't drain properly; thus causing my sinuses not to drain. I end up getting sinus headaches and then the dreaded sinus infection. But now I use an ear bulb syringe to irrigate my ears every three days or so with warm water. In addition, every week I put a few drops of mineral oil or Debrox into my ears to keep them draining. Helps alleviate the headaches and long-term, hopefully the infections. Oh, and of course, I use my Neti Pot two to three times daily.
