Hey I had a sinoplasty about a year ago. The blood clots lasted a lot longer than I anticipated, I think due to the dry climate I lived in. Anyway once I was allowed sinus washes, I found a squeeze bottle I could shoot through my sinuses Netti pot style at the drug store. What worked best though, was using a sort of reverse gargling type technique to keep the water in my nose. Basically run the water through til it comes out the other nostril, then tilt your head forward and inhale through your nose. If you do it slowly the water will just bubble in your sinuses. That's by far the best way to loosen everything up. I found the blood clots to be too massive and well attached to remove by traditional methods for weeks.
