The important bit here is not the length, it's the gauge

According to best science available nowadays, the most effective single treatment for sinusitis is local steroids (Fluticasone is as good as any other). The relevant issue is getting the product where it is most needed and in the proper doses. We need to make sure that the sprayed aerosol goes to the middle meatus, which means pointing the tip of the cannula into the nose towards the inner part of the eye, right where is the ethmoidal sinus and the drainage areas of the frontal and maxillary ones. It's advised to use your right hand to spray the left nostril and the left hand for the right nostril, this way it's easier to control the direction of the cannula. Logically one should do a thorough cleaning with serum or boiled water with salt at some pressure before the Fluticasone spraying. I always advise Rhinodouche for the great design of the soft bottle, it produces a large flow of liquid and you can precisely control the pressure to your needs. Like Dusty says, you need the pressure level that you can tolerate without irritating the nasal mucosa: In a case like yours I'd use 5-8 serum cleaning sessions per day, two of them right before the Fluticasone, which I'd spray twice in every nostril, every 12 hours. Trimetoprim/Sulfametoxazol is OK, as good as any other until you get some bacterial growth and antibiogram performed if that were necessary.

None of those is an antibiotic, all together would help to produce less mucus and lower inflammation, but the mucus cleaning is very important. In a few days you'll be noticing the relief. Fluticasona is administered as spray or in drops?

Fred Hersch and Esperanza Spalding - Alive at the Village Vanguard First jazz release in 2023 that I've listened to. If this is just a starter, this year is going to have awesome jazz.
-
It's helping, it just that it is not enough, but keep doing it in addition to the antibiotics, steroids and all the weaponry.

No nasal cleaning by flow?

Happy Birthday!!!

Are you a brother to Geena Davis? OMG

I've watched this one too. Plenty of weak links, but entertaining nonetheless. I think it would have worked better as a movie.
-
I wish you a happy celebration of your birthday and the start of 2023!!!

Yesterday I took a Wednesday bellyful Pretty entertaining, I was expecting worse.

I guess 15 years in a romanian prison is a worse punishment than death to the burning pyre. -
I've loved it since it was released. It's larger than I thought though. Enjoy it!!!

I have no idea who is the bald guy with sunglasses. -
RIP O Rei. One of the very best. It's a pity that most of you americans don't enjoy true football, we'd have something more in common.

IMHO and for my taste, this is a more interesting evolution of jazz
-
Well, I think it's not just because it's sampling a sax, but the sax is played fiercely and dissonantly

Vadim Neselovskyi - Odesa Another jazz album that made the top 2022 lists and that I hadn't listened to. To me a lot more enjoyable than TCIC's one. This one is not classic jazz by any means, it's rather lyrical and has very interesting moments. The pianist is virtuosoborderline.
-
Just finished this one too. Very entertaining. Hoping for a 2nd season.
-
This is one of those things that some people say that is jazz, or nu.jazz... whatever. I had to listen to it despite I didn't like their previous output, for it receiving accolades and making many "best of" lists. The Comet is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam If you like Ornette Coleman and such you might enjoy it.

Wise decision, you may need some treatment to unclog that upper respiratory way.
