((((Danny)))) You just seem to have bad luck with the timing

Don't say that.

i just sneezed... then lookd for a spork to stab out my eye so the pain would stop.

Well I don't know if it really works cause I refuse to try it but I've been told that pouring some warm water with salt and baking soda in one side of those till it runs down the other side and then tipping your head and doing it from the other side helps....something with the bubbles...and the salt helps kill the infection.

that sounds very painful

Sinus Infection Treatment

Self-Care at Home

Home care can help open the sinuses and alleviate their dryness.

* Promote drainage


o Drink plenty of water and hydrating beverages. Hot tea is often recommended.


o Inhale steam two to four times per day by leaning over a bowl of boiling hot water (not while the water is on the stove) or using a steam vaporizer with a towel over the head and bowl to prevent the escape of the steam. Inhale the steam for about 10 minutes. Taking a hot, steamy shower may also work. Mentholated preparations, such as Vicks Vapo-Rub, can be added to the water or vaporizer to aid in opening the passageways.


* Thin the mucus: Expectorants are drugs that help to expel mucus from the lungs and respiratory passages. They help to thin mucous secretions, enhancing drainage from the sinuses. The most common is guaifenesin (contained in Robitussin, for example). Over-the-counter (OTC) liquid cough medications or prescription tablets can also combine decongestants and cough suppressants to reduce symptoms as well as to eliminate the need for the use of many medications. Read label ingredients to find the right combination of ingredients or ask the pharmacist for help.


* Relieve pain: Pain medication such as ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil are examples), aspirin, and acetaminophen (Tylenol is in this category) can reduce pain and inflammation. These medications help to open the airways by reducing swelling.

OUCH!!!!

no thank you!!!!
ill deal with the pain!!!


**thinks about it. wonders if she has any baking soda for later**

Hey I couldn't bring myself to do it, but my Mother in law is doing it several times a day to relieve the sinus pressure with her allergies and her doctor is the one recommended it.

ACV works well too.

Night all

I found something like that...


Folk

Cayenne pepper Take several capsules of cayenne during or after each meal for several days. The sinus infection should clear up. If it starts again, keep on a maintenance dose of 460 mg three times a day. Another cayenne remedy is to put one teaspoon of cayenne into a cup of hot water and drink three cups a day.

Eucalyptus Boil ½ cup of water and add a few drops of oil of eucalyptus. Pour the mixture into a bowl, lean over it while covering your head with a large towel, and inhale the steam for 10 minutes, keeping your eyes tightly shut. Eucalyptus oil is widely used for various breathing problems.

* Put a few drops on a handkerchief and sniff periodically.

Salt Dissolve one tablespoon of salt in two cups of water. Use a nasal inhaler.

Salt/baking soda To relieve stuffed up sinuses due to allergies, try making this nasal flush: mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in one cup of warm water; fill an ear syringe and squirt the mixture up your nose. Another variation uses one teaspoon of uniodized salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in a pint of water. Place the mixture in a nasal inhaler.

Thyme has been used for generations for respiratory infections because of its strong antiseptic properties. Steep 1-2 teaspoons of thyme in a cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drink a cup three times a day. Thyme is a drying herb for the body.

But the best one so far seems to be Grapefruit Seed Extract...supposedly that cures it within 2-3 days.
