CS and saline solutions Hi gang, I seem to remember a discussion quite a while back about whether or not CS was effective when added to a saline solution (such as for use in the eyes, nose, etc.). I don't remember the outcome of the thread...was it ok or not ok to combine CS and saline? Does the saline reduce the effectiveness of the CS? The reason: my 5-year old has had an ongoing bout with some type of eye infection. We've given him an antibiotic eye drop, but it keeps coming back. I'd like to try CS eye drops to see if we could stop it, but I'm afraid straight CS might be too painful. He's pretty squeamish and might not let me do it more than once. (I'm assuming it would take multiple treatments.) I'd like to prove to my family (and myself) that CS really works.Any thoughts or suggestions? -Ted
Dear Ted, I use straight CS in my eyes all the time. It stops the itchies from hay fever, cleans out the dust when the air is dirty, and stops infections the same day. It is mild and doesn`t sting at all. I put it in my Pugs` eyes too, as those bulgy eyes get goopy a lot. They don`t mind it either. Try it!! Marsha
