does sudafed stop synus?

Answer 1

Hi,
Please try treatment of sinusitis which can reduce of swelling, eradication of infection, draining of the sinuses, and ensuring that the sinuses remain open.

Please try following treatments also.

Home remedies that open and hydrate sinuses may, indeed, be the only treatment necessary for mild sinusitis that is not accompanied by signs of acute infection.


Drinking plenty of fluids and taking rest when needed is still the best bit of advice to ease the discomforts of common cold. Water is the best fluid and helps lubricate the mucous membranes.


Hot soups do indeed help congestion. The hot steam from the soup may be its chief advantage. In fact, any hot beverage may have similar soothing effects from steam. Ginger tea, fruit juice, and hot tea with honey and lemon may all be helpful.


Spicy foods that contain hot peppers or horseradish may help clear sinuses.


Inhaling steam two to four times a day is also very helpful, costs nothing, and requires no expensive equipment. A mentholated or other aromatic preparation may be added to the water. Long, steamy showers, vaporizers, and facial saunas are good alternatives.
Many people take medications to reduce mild pain and fever. Adults most often choose aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen.

A nasal wash can be helpful for removing mucous from the nose. A saline solution can be purchased at a drug store or made at home. Decongestants administered in nasal spray form may be used for short-term treatment. They thicken secretions in the nasal passages however, and may reduce the ability to clear out bacteria. Expectorants, which are drugs that cause mucous to be coughed up from the lungs and may help promote draining and reduce tissue swelling, are sometimes recommended for treatment of sinusitis. Expectorants generally contain ingredients that thin mucous secretions called mucolytics. The most common mucolytic used is guaifenesin, which may cause drowsiness or nausea.

If you are talking about sinus pressure and sinusitis then sudafed is a good medications. Its over the counter however you have to ask for it from a pharmacists in most areas.

My doctor told me the best medication for sinusitis is steroid nose sprays like Nasonex, Rhinocort, Flonase and a few others.

Answer 3

Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) is a decongestant and will dry up mucous and reduce swelling in your nose & sinuses. The Advil Sinus and Tylenol Sinus are the same drug, but combined with ibuprofen or acetaminophen (paracetamol).

Careful with taking decongestants too often though, as they are stimulants and can keep you awake / make you jittery.

Sudafed never did a thing for me. I always use Advil cold&sinus.
