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.

Answer by Jules
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!

Question by Leisurelydinner: face has been burning for 3 days now?
my face and eyes feel like deep heat has been applied to it, but they arn’t red. It hasn’t let up for 3 days now and i’ve resigned to sitting by a fan blasting on my face 24/7 for relief.

anyone know what can cause this? other symptoms i have are loud ringing in both ears, sinus pressure, headache.

thanks

Answer by Pixie Chick
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.

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

Do you need Nyquil to sleep and relieve your night time cold symptoms?

Alan — Mon, 16 May 2011 23:49:40 +0000

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?

Q&A: Used a neti pot, now I’m sick!?

Alan — Sat, 14 May 2011 23:48:48 +0000

Question by manyfacestosee: Used a neti pot, now I’m sick!?
Yesterday I used a nose bidet for the first time with warm salty water, as was recommended, and now I am sick. I woke up with a sore throat, nasal congestion and a fever (from infection, maybe?). I felt it going down the back of my throat some, but for the most part it came out the other nostril and I thought I would be start to feel some relief from my chronic sinusitis and sinus headaches. Is this normal? Will it get better or should I stop? Thanks

Q&A: coughing and aching what is going on?!?!!?

Alan — Sat, 14 May 2011 17:49:01 +0000

Question by smile: coughing and aching what is going on?!?!!?
I have been coughing for about a week and a half after having a sinus infection. Now I get an aching pain in my right butt cheek when I cough. What the heck is going on? I have taken Mucinex, Delsym, and cough drops with no relief.

Best answer:

Answer by cap d ®
Possible that the infection has gone from a local bacterial to systemic bacterial or possibly viral and the aches you have are signs of a systemic problem.
Seems the medications you have tried offered no relief,get checked out by a Dr.You may benefit from antibiotics or anti virals depending on Dr’s check up.
