Stuffed Sinuses?

Question

Painful and stuffed sinuses.....what are methods of unclogging them and breathing easier? Thanks!

Answer 1

I personally use ALEVE Cold & Sinus when the first hint of cold or sinus problems start... and I follow through even when I start feeling better. And I also use Vicks brand VapoRub... a tad under each nostril and eachnight I rub it on my chest, neck after having a warm shower and getting ready for bed. I drink lots of water even though I don't want any. And I eat Chicken Noodle soup, primarily the juice. I carry the Vapo Rub so I can inhale it and place a dab under each nostril.

But if u gone too far where ur mucous is green... sinusitis is not fun and a quick antibotic will clear. Puffs are soothing to the nostrils. Get plenty of rest, and eating proper will mend your health.

Answer 2

If your sinuses are painful you could have a sinus infection or sinusitis. You need to go to the pharamcy/pharmacist and pick up some sudafed. You can try a nasal spray but you cannot use those for more than 3 days. If the pain is bad consider getting checked at the docs office if the sudafed doesn't take care of it.

Answer 3

Saline washes. Best to use sea salt thant can be bought in the grocery store or just saline mist from the medicine section in the store. Also, a hot shower or exercise unclog noses.

Motrin for the pain

Answer 4

If your mucus is yellow or green, then you have a sinus infection and you should see a doctor. If not, there are plenty of over-the-counter medications you should try. Don't use anything like Afrin. That will cause rebound sinus stuffiness and only make you feel worse. If you don't have a sinus infection, try Sudafed. Also try a saline-only spray to help loosen the mucus and get it out. You can also try Mucinex-D. There's lots out there.
