I pretty much have a constant head ache above my left eye. I’ve had it for years. The pain varies from day to day but it’s pretty much there most days.
I know that I have sinus problems because I had a head scan taken about 8 years ago due to the headaches and found that I have no sinus at all on one side of my face and its all squashed on the other side.
The doctor said that short of having a nose job to sort it all out there isn’t anything I can do and if it gets too bad take over the counter sinus medications. But most of these medications clearly state not to use for more than a few days in a row. I take them a few days a week for a little relief but they don’t really do anything. At one point I took them for about 3 weeks in a row and by the end I had nose bleeds daily, so I stopped doing that.
Does anyone have any Ideas? Are there any sinus relief remedies or medications that are more perminant than sinex? because I can’t afford a nose job.

    The only things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
    you need
    distilled water
    sea salt
    liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
    in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
    add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
    using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
    Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
    The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
    Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
    Then do it once a week for maintenance.
    There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
    I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
    best wishes

    Claritin. It is over the counter, and that really helped with my sinuses. There is a nose spray called oasis I believe, and it really helped my sister-n-law. She has had to have her sinuses scraped every other year, and she said that was a life saver. I wish you luck though, because I know that is miserable, I could not imagine having to deal with it that long. A few days here and there is enough for me. If I can think of anything else, or get any more ideas, I will be sure to add it. Good luck.
