Hot shower to open your sinuses? Hot soup? Orange juice? Really you've got to just ride it out I think. Feel better

thanks..will try a hot shower. I heard that if you put your head over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head. that will help open sinuses. thanks guys

I know this sounds silly, but after your shower stick your head in the freezer and breathe through your nose. The cold will help shrink your nasal passages. ( An EMT told me that when my son was little and his nose and throat started to close up.) Another one (and this is for only the very brave) mix a small amount of salt (a pinch) to a cup of warm water and use a dropper to place in your nose. Sniff it up to your sinus cavity. Its going to hurt like the devil, but it will loosen up the mucus stuffing up your nose. Think like pouring salt on a slimy slug. (a nurse told this to me once.) There are PH buffered products on the market like this, Nasal Saline Solution, that dont burn or hurt. Good luck.

YOU GUYS,YOU JUST GOT TO SIT IT OUT, MY MUM SAID 2 DAYS TO COME, 2 DAYS TO STAY, 2 DAYS TO GO. BUMMER My advice and more stands! You must ride anything out ... And, "riding it out" is all the while deplenishing your immune system, nutrients, energy and hydration as the war is waged ... Thus, the fighting it back steps, resting as the inner war is completed. Sitting idle makes the riding out that much longer, tougher and much more depleting. Ya never sit idle during full~on attack ... Math 101 ... Saluta ...
