Neti pot. My nose drips constantly when I'm sick because it's trying to flush out the thick sticky stuff in my sinuses. A neti pot helps get rid of it, and the dripping. It's changed my life.
For anyone trying this out, please also take precautions and use boiled/sterile/distilled water

It's incredibly important to never cut corners here. You can easily get a severe infection you may not come back from.
I could never get the hang of a neti pot. There was a 50% chance I would end up puking.
Sterile nasal saline was my savior. It's a pressurized mist that comes in a can. No need to tilt my head and no more gagging.
I may have to go get one. The area around my nose looks like it’s been set on fire at this point and I have some reservations about leaving the house sporting my nose tampon.
