Treating sinus infection naturally while pregnant and breastfeeding?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Infection, tags: breastfeeding, Infection, naturally, Pregnant, Sinus, TreatingI have an oh so wonderful sinus infection. I am 18 weeks pregnant and nursing as well. I want to treat it naturally, and avoid antibiotics and need to tips on treatment. I have been drinking warm fluids, using a Neti pot, and taking lots of vitamin c. Any other natural recommendations?

I really think you should go to your primary care doctor. Infections are very serious during pregnancy. Are you sure it is an actual infection?

Spray your nose insides wth saline ( salt water )

Steam … hold your face over a bowl of hot water and the steam should help drain your sinuses you can treat yourself to a facial too.
My eyes always bother me super much when I have a sinus thing. If yours are puffy you can always do the whole cucumber trick.
As for drinking warm fluids, that’s great, but I would avoid milk or dairy for the time being, just because it can get things feeling a little more blocked.
Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!

You can purchase a Nasaline syringe – it’s a big plastic syringe that you use to “shoot” saline into one of your nostrils and it comes out th other. I know it sounds gross, and it takes some getting used to (it’s like getting salt water up your nose at the beach) but TRUST ME!!! It gets EVERYTHING out of your nasal passages. I used to get multiple sinus infections a year and now that I irrigate my nose 2x daily and use a nasal steroid, my life is so different! Since your nose houses so much bacteria, you really need to get up in there where blowing your nose just doesn’t work as well. Good luck!

saline solution will loosen up your mucous, it’s safe to use during pregnancy and for infants. make sure to get one that has no additives. eat lots of fresh fruit, even more than you usually would.

please try this, it is safe for you and the babies and will cure your sinus infection.
best wishes.
My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — 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
