sinus infection help?

Question

Answer 1

You could try a Netti pot ( the brand name I have is sinu-cleanse ) I bought one at a local pharmacy in the cough and cold aisle. If you ask the pharmacist they should be able to help you. That and Mucinex it is an expectorant and will help get rid of some of the phlegm/mucus but you must drink a lot of fluids. That and take a good multi-vitamin.

Answer 2

Mucinex, which is advertised on TV is supposed to loosen up that congestion in your chest. You might give that a try. Also, they say that a simple saline (salt water) spray in your nose is better than the prescription nosedrops, and don't have any side effects. You can buy it at any drug store, and it's really cheap, less than $2.00 for a fairly good-sized bottle. Also, it might help if you have a vaporizor to keep the humidity level in your room fairly high. Your doctor will probably give you an antibiotic to clear up any infection that may be present in your sinuses. I hope this helps, and I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 3

I had a sinus infection with drainage and headaches most meds would not touch. I read on the Internet about whole fresh pineapple and consumed one within the hour. It stated: "Eat a whole pineapple and your sinus problems will go away." The next morning I felt great, it worked well.
