Sinus Medication Solution

Question by maggie is going to be a big sis!: Has anyone ever used a neti pot? Nasal lavage?
Do you have to use the salt solution with it or can you just use warm water? I am having a huge sinus infection I do not have an actual neti pot but i am thinking about putting warm water in a baby aspirator and trying it that way could i use regular kitchen salt to make a saline solution or will that burn??? help me please i am in desperate need for relief but have recently lost my insurance so i can not go to the Dr.

What I use is a bulb syringe and non-iodized salt (I was told iodized salt might be irritating) 1 teaspoon/ 2 cups warm water as a nasal rinse. Very gently squeeze the bulb syringe into your nose because you don’t want to drown yourself (of course you can’t, but you can give yourself a horrible snort with one of those things!)

It works for allergies, too!

I’d question sinusitis. Do you have colored nasal discharge? Fever? Dental, Orbital pain? If yes, see a doctor, you may need antibiotics. If no, try a decongestant to relieve the sinus pressure, vaporizer, hot herbal teas.
Hope you feel better soon.

Question by Hollowed: Excruciating headache!?
It might be from my allergies, period, eyes, or a migrane of some sort.

Its pounding, sorta. I already took some sinus headache pills.

Any ways of relief? medicine I could take besides things that make you drowsy or awake (ones with caffenine)

Take 2 Tylenol an an Advil at the same time. This will help. If they have Goody Powders get those instead..but it is hard to find those some places.

…get a tennis ball and place it behind the neck while you ae lying down. this helps relieve tension.

…You can try putting your feet in ice cold water…there is something that happens that helps reduce the pain

Good luck..I have had migranes for years…don’t take the Goody powders and the Tylenol Advil mixture at the same time…either Good Powders OR the Tylenol/Advil mixture.

Good Luck..i m not a doc..just a migraine sufferer

You can also try drinking apple juice…not all of these things work for me…but they are recommended and have helped others

Question by L Street Brownie: Do you need Nyquil to sleep and relieve your night time cold symptoms?
A female friend of mine calls herself a social drinker. She does not drink every day, or so she says. She likes mixed drinks, wine coolers, or cocktails containing vodka, tequila, or rum. Not a beer person or wine for that matter. Likes her martinis too. But I question whether or not she drinks at least one drink per day. She has battled sinus infections all of her life, from nasal congestion, coughs, and sinus infections that spread to her ears. She has a mild form of asthma and when she gets ear and sinus infections she uses an inhaler.
With the onset of winter, and the fact that she just got over an ear infection, I have noticed that she takes Nyquil every night. Not only does it help her with her cough, she finds that Nyquil has a sedative property to it so that it reduces her anxiety. She is very stressed about work and some personal issues and I am concerned that she is developing a dependence on alcohol through the Nyquil. One night, we had a couple of drinks, rum and Coke and she did a couple of shots of rum. Then she is still buzzed from the rum but insisted on taking Nyquil for her cough before she went to bed. I really didn’t notice her coughing much that night. She also smokes and is trying to quit. Sometimes I am not sure if the coughing is aggravated by her smoking more than a cold or sinus condition.
I think that her use of Nyquil is for more than just as a cough supressant. There are other cough and cold medications available that are just as effective as cough suppressants and offering alternative relief for cold symptoms and sinus condition sufferers. The big difference is that Nyquil contains alcohol and the alternative cough and cold medications do not.
Have you used Nyquil in the past? Are there other cough medications available that are just as effective that do not contain alcohol? How should I approach the subject of Nyquil with my girl friend?
