Answer 1

Hi Poindextor

Im sure the drugs are the ones causing the issue. If you stuffed up here are some remedies.

Herbal Medicine: There are a variety of herbs that offer relief from allergies, such as goldenseal, red sage, and goldenrod. To reduce mucus, try astringents such as yarrow and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha). These help to contract inflamed tissues and reduce secretions and discharges. To strengthen immune response use echinacea, astragalus root, goldenseal root, and Pfaffia paniculata (suma or Brazilian ginseng). These herbs can be effective and safe for treating weakened immune systems.

Cayenne pepper is a favorite herb among those treating allergy patients. The active ingredient is a strong anti-inflammatory, and it is recommend to allergy suffers, including asthma patients, as a simple and effective treatment. Sprinkling liberal amounts of the pepper on meals for a few days can provide relief.

Although herbal remedies have shown excellent results in reducing allergy/sensitivity symptoms, using herbs to treat allergies involves an individual approach. Some particularly effective anti-inflammatory herbs are stinging nettle, Ginkgo biloba, and licorice. Chinese skullcap, ephedra, and feverfew are others to consider for treating allergy symptoms. Patients whose conditions are severe should consult with a trained herbalist or naturopath.

A major symptom of allergies is gastrointestinal upset, including bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Demulcent herbs can alleviate these symptoms (demulcent is a term used by herbalists to describe an herb that has a protective effect on the mucous membranes by minimizing irritation). The most commonly used herbs are marshmallow, slippery elm bark, cabbage juice, okra, fenugreek, and aloe vera.

Homeopathy: Homeopathy has widespread applications for the treatment of allergies. In many situations, minute diluted doses of the substance a person is allergic to can be prepared as a homeopathic solution that triggers the body`s natural ability to heal itself.

Homeopathic remedies are best prescribed by a competent homeopath. Self-diagnosis is discouraged due to the variety of factors that must be considered before the appropriate treatment is selected. However, the following remedies can be helpful: Ferrum phos, lycopodium, and silica.

Juice Therapy: A juice fast of organic vegetable juices for 2-3 weeks can help detoxify the body, thus improving its ability to cope with allergies. Two useful juice combinations for this purpose are beet, carrot, and cucumber; and carrot and celery. For added benefit, add a small piece of ginger root to either juice combination.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Join the club. I went to the doc last week for a sinus infection. Yesterday it was almost gone, today it's back and making me very miserable. You can take Tylenol for the pain, but the pressure needs something stronger. If you have a store in your area that is open this late on a Sunday try getting some Afrin. Spray that up there and it will open up your sinuses and help with some of the pain. Try to get in to see your doctor tomorrow for some antibiotics.

Answer 3

I think it might be a bad case of sinus. My 12 yr old daughter had the same symptoms as you a few months ago she was very uncomfortable, she started getting very bad headaches, I took her to casualty because it was late at night, she had an x-ray done and she was even admitted to hospital. The doctor said that her sinuses were very bad, she was so blocked that there was loads of pressure round her nose and eyes. She was given the antibiotics intravenously and was much better after that. Go to the Doctors to be on the safe side.

Answer 4

Some sinus infections are hard to get rid of, or it could be inflammed from a recent infection. I would take a pain killer, and a hot shower for 10 minutes or so might help alieviate the pain.

Answer 5

Drug users using cocaine, meth etc. get that when they use to much. That also will give an infection like symptom but if they don't stop it will just keep coming back as long as they continue to use. Advil Extra Strength liquid gel caps will take any type of nasal pain away and works quickly.

Answer 6

Answer 7
