When I was doing Gent rinses, I didn't dilute it with my normal saline. I used it full strength and only instilled as much as I could comfortably hold in with my head tilted down and forward. I left it sit in my sinuses for a few minutes. I did all this after a normal saline rinse.

I found one of the best ways to administer the gent. sinus wash was to get a bulb syringe from babys r us and use one squirt for each side of my nose.
I used the rinses for 6 months twice a day before I started having any issues with ringing in my ears. I still have to use them every now and then, but not for 6 months anymore, my hearing is slightly depleted but nothing crazy.

I tried using gentimican in rinses and it did not really help. Now I am thinking I did not do it correctly. The phamacist gave me small vials of iv med and I was instructed to put half a bottle in my 8 oz saline wash. Can you tell me the the concentration of gentimican to saline? Thanks
