    that's a "big" surprise as usually citizens from these countries are muslims and muslims don't (are not supposed) to drink alcohol as for unruly that's normal behavior for the majority of them but don't want to sound racist or prejudice only talking (unfortunately) by personal experience

    Nope

     

    Had many muslim friends in KL, many of which would publicly talk about how hungry and thirsty they were during Ramadan, and were feasting away at lunch time with curtains drawn. Peer pressure is a bit part of it

  2. Hi , my kids has acute sinusitis and got all the meds 

     

    one thing doctors don’t do is old remedies - steam / nebulisers. Did not have meds as a kid , so inhaling steam sometimes with a smidge of Vicks was the approach - would make your nose run faster than Husain Bolt

     

    any OTC things to use ? I am using relatively hot water that has been boiled to make sure I don’t introduce more issues

      The issue with prolonged use is that it can lead to   rebound congestion which can be very  hard to manage and last a long time.

     

    There is no data on use  such as you describe (only at night but more than 7 days) so no one can really answer that question nor assure you it is OK.

     

    The larger question is why you would need it for so long as these sprays are meant for temporary relief of  congestion from  acute (short-tetm) causes like common cold. 

     

    If you have a chronic condition like allergy then there may be more advisable medicines. And if you have chronic sinusitis that requires other treatment.

     

    Suggest you see a good ENT. Where in Thailand do you live? 

    Thanks.

     

    My son (6yrs ) picked up a bug, and we still had the kid version of the spray and it's the only relief he got at night. We are on day 6 now, and Dr's could not find the cause....  but I figured it out last night - he added to his list of issues a sore eye and point to forehead "hurts" - pretty sure it's sinusitis 

     

    Did tests ie covid, flu and blood tests - all negative 

     

    Normally most bugs with Antibiotics, clears in a few days, never had 6 days straight issues like this.

     

    Going ENT now.
