The snow hasn't melted at all from our last blizzard and a new one is starting. We're set to get 10-12 inches and the flakes outside right now are 2 inches wide. I kid you not. I've never seen such incredibly large flakes. They look fake. And scary

Wikipedia says:

"Treatment of atrophic rhinitis can be either medical or surgical.

Medical measures include:

Nasal irrigation using normal saline
Nasal irrigation and removal of crusts using alkaline solutions
25% glucose in glycerine can be applied to the nasal mucosa to inhibit the growth of foul-smelling proteolytic organisms
Local antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol (Kemicetine)
Estradiol and vitamin D2
Estradiol spray
Systemic streptomycin
Oral potassium iodide
Placental extract injected in the submucosa
Surgical interventions include:

Young's operation
Modified Young's operation
Narrowing of nasal cavities, submucosal injection of Teflon paste, section and medial displacement of the lateral wall of the nose
Transposition of parotid duct to maxillary sinus or nasal mucosa"

the placental extract is intriguing.

Thanks. I do the first regularly, and have had surgery. It was horrible. I'm hoping maybe my doctor will have one of those other measures for me? And I'm upping my Vitamin D for sure!

Yeah I do Neilmed sinus rinse twice a day. It does help.
