Has your friend looked into nasal washes? Another group I'm in has
been discussing this in detail and though I havn't tried it yet I plan
to. Have been looking for a "neti pot" online. There is a lot of info
out there on the web.

One of our MD clients (a nose & throat specialist) developed some
products like that. He pays a couple people in our office to handle
orders for him, and there certainly seem to be a lot of satisfied
(repeat) customers. Check out

I have one of the earlier versions of their products that attaches to a
water pik. It looks like they still sell that attachment. It is easy
to use and when I have sinus problems, I put that thing right on. I
keep some salt and a measuring spoon in the bathroom so I can make up
the solution easily. It will make it so I can breathe when nothing else
will, especially with a bad cold. And it seems so much more convenient
than a neti pot. My ENT gave me mine before he retired. It was a
standard thing for him to do - everyone he treated got one.
