Sinus infections are a pain! Really!


Some things to help:


Warm steamy showers several times a day, neti pot, 20 minutes of intense exercise (releases endorphins which helps reduce swollen nasal membranes), cold or warm compresses (whichever feels better), drink lots of fluids, eat or smell spicy condiments like horseradish, gargle with salt water, use decongestants (over the counter), take garlic or eat it raw and eat onions too; vitamin C, fish oil (helps with inflammation). Hope this is useful!


I wrote a whole article about sinus remedies here: http://common-patient-ailments.suite101.com/article.cfm/home_remedies_for_sinus_infections
Eucalyptus oil is good, simply put some on a tissue and sniff it up your nostrils every now and then, it's strong and can take your breath away. So be careful. Also eating raw garlic can help. Hope you get over it quickly.
Drink lots of water, buy a nasal spray (but do NOT use for more than 3 days!!), take advil or any generic naproxen sodium, and use a humidifier to help clear out the nasal passages.
treat your symptoms -drink lotsa water %26amp; use a nasal rinse. doctors LOVE patients who pay cash, so make an appointment if needed.
