I can't get to the store today, and I have a bad sinus pain headache. Is there a home remedy I could try? I don't have eucalyptus oil (someone had told me to try boiling it and breathing the steam but I don't have any). I keep putting a warm towel on my face and it feels good, but as soon as I stop the pain is there again. Help! This is so uncomfortable.

Dip a small towel in cold water, rinse, and apply to forehead. Once the towel gets warm, flip it to the other side, or dip it into cold water again. Lying down, in a dark room, maybe getting a 1/2 hour of sleep,will always make you feel better. A decoction of half a teaspoon mustard seeds powder and three teaspoons water, if instilled in the nostrils, redresses migraine. Warm soups and avoiding ice cold items for a while certainly controls the sinus troubles. Sipping warm water at intervals also helps. The best cure is steam which is easily done with the electric steam machine that serves as a perfect home remedy. One could also use some eucalyptus oil in the steam in controlled doses. Echinacea is found in capsule form to fight sinus allergy. Ginger tea and sleep is a good option for sinus headaches. For curing headaches warm water compress on the head and foot is helpful. Accupressure points are easy to learn. The juice of ripe grapes is an effective home remedy for a migraine. For a sinus headache, eat a jalapeno pepper as soon as possible. Within minutes your sinuses will start to drain and the sinus headache will subside. A peppermint steam inhalation provides quick relief for sinus headaches. Peppermint acts as a decongestant, and the combination of warm steam and the essential oil is doubly effective for opening up the sinuses. Mix 1 teaspoon finely ground cinnamon (called dalchini in India) in 1 teaspoon water and apply on the forehead. It is very effective in headache due to exposure to cold air. Make a paste from dry ginger with a little water or milk, apply to the forehead for sinus relief. Grind 10-15 Basil leaves with 4 cloves and 1 teaspoon dried ginger into a paste and apply to forehead for sinus cure. For a painful sinus headache, try a hot footbath along with a cold compress on the forehead

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

First, u need to saline your nose with a pinch of salt water.
If u got chapstick on hand--rub some on forehead.
Sudafed is your best bet.
Try adding apple cider vinegar on the hot warm washcloth, that may help

this really works lay on the bed on your stomach let head lean off
your shoulders should be at the edge of the bed after 2-3 min. get up as quick as you can if there any infection there it will drain out and relieve the pressure.
