Answer 1

Yup - 'tis the season; ALLERGY SEASON, that is.

It's probably seasonal allergies gone haywire. Some people are just especially sensitive to pollen, dust, mold, ragweed, etc. Depending on where you live, the environmental conditions could be triggering your dinus issues. You can develop allergies at any age, so that's the likely culprit.

Your doctor may prescribe a nasal spray and/or pill to control your symptoms. I take Nasonex and have pretty good results.

In the meantime, try running a hot shower in the bathroom, or hold your head (not too close) over a sink with hot running water, deeply breathing in - as best you can - the steam. Tylenol and OTC decongestants can help. I believe Excedrin even makes a "Sinus headache" tablet, but don't overdue it with the medication until you've seen your doctor. Warm compresses across your face may also provide some relief.

Good luck, and take care!

I have had a sinus infection every month since last November. It is the most horrible feeling! The only suggestion that I have is to take steamy baths and put a wet, hot towel over your face as you relax in the tub. This temporarily opens up my sinuses and relieves pressure headaches for a little while. Other than that, good luck and let me know if you find some other relief ideas that work!

Sounds like you have an ongoing sinus infection. When you are prescribed regular antibiotics sometimes it does not go away. I found that Zithromax works the best. It is a pill that you take once a day for three days and it is amazing! However it may be that you just have allergies. Right now there is such a high pollen and mold count that could be the reason for your problems.
