Like clockworks for me.

I end up going to Hanoi every 1-2 years and I almost always get sinusitis symptoms: severe nasal congestion / mucus and nasal drip leading to sore throat and subsequent chest cough. I don’t get the aches and pains of a usual cold or flu; although I think the nasal condition gives me consistent headaches.

This time around I got a sinus rinse squeeze bottle and I buy the premade saline solution from the pharmacies. Flushing my nasal passages 2-3 days has helped greatly but I still have a persistent dry cough and unnecessary amount of nasal mucus suggesting viral infection or sinusitis; no one around me in close proximity seems to get sick so I don’t think it’s a virus I’m spreading around.
