Is this normal for sinus rinses or should I be talking to a doctor?
I ve been trying to use a saline sinus rinse lately, but when I do it feels like it just fills my sinuses with saline and it never runs out the other nostril like I was expecting it to. Instead it s like all the gunk that has me stuffed up is keeping it in and my sinuses fill until the saline is coming out my tear ducts. For the next day or so I keep having to blow my nose and it s this thick, nasty, yellow mucus. Should I see my doctor about getting some antibiotics or something?

Yes. Yellow mucus is a sign of a sinus infection, and while you could wait it out, antibiotics or over the counter meds will help help clear it up. Don't force saline into the nostril if you are congested as the building pressure can damage your eardrums.
