my PCP told me to "use it regularly to make it go away" but i interpreted this as a CYA move (because of my history of sinus issues, and because i have asthma and somehow it's all connected) and so i didn't follow it -- also because i hate putting anything foreign into my body unless i *have* to.
however, i do know that it doesn't even start to work until you've used it for about 2-3 days. my usual practice is to start using it once the sniffling becomes regular enough to be bothersome, or once i feel like i'm on the sinus infection trajectory. i use it for about 4-5 days, then stop for a day or so. if the sniffling comes back, i use it for another 3-4 days. i've never had to go beyond that.
