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!

Sorry never heard of that one, but if you have problems with sinus then get yourself a bottle of ‘Echinacea’ One tablet and your sinus’ are cleared for days. You can buy the little black pills at the drugstore.

Has anyone tried the Mineral Lamps?

Alan — Thu, 05 May 2011 05:49:06 +0000

Question by candycane: Has anyone tried the Mineral Lamps?
I’ve seen where the Mineral Lamps are suppose to help with allergies, asthma, sinus and migraine headache relief. They are pricey and but would be worth it if they work. The scientific part with the ions using a light in the mineral rock, sounds resoundable. I suffer from all the above and would like to get some relief, along with all the medications I am taking. I hate taking medicine and would like to try the “natural” way of healing. I will continue my meds, but my allergies worsen by the seasons. If you have ever purchased a Mineral Lamp, I am interested in the effects and where you purchased it. Thanks for the help! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE!!

“The scientific part with the ions using a light in the mineral rock, sounds resoundable[sic].” I don’t know how to tell you this – no it doesn’t at all, it sounds like made up BS from someone trying to bamboozle you.

Anyone have a sure fire home remedy for sinus pain with a cold (no fever)?

Question by rosebud: Anyone have a sure fire home remedy for sinus pain with a cold (no fever)?
I can’t take decongestants because of bp meds. I’ve taken Corcidin HBP for colds and Excedrin, but the headache and facial pain just won’t go away. A hot shower gave me relief for about 15 minutes. It’s been two days now, and it’s not getting any better. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I think I’ll go out and pick up a neti pot. It seems that many of you have had success with it. Thank you all for your answers.

Can anyone offer any pain relief suggestions?

Alan — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:49:17 +0000

Question by Mom2Max: Can anyone offer any pain relief suggestions?
Wrong category, I know – but nobody is in the health category.

I thought I had a toothache. It hurt badly and was causing my sinses to hurt. I went to the dentist. He did an x-ray and found nothing wrong with my tooth, however my sinses were cloudy. I went to my GP (this was yesterday) he gave me a nasal spray, antibiotics, and a steroid pill for the sinus infection and a steroid shot.
My tooth is still killing me though! I guess my sinses had become inflamed and they were pressing on the root of the tooth. Nothing I take will get rid of the tooth pain. Any suggestions?
Again – sorry for posting this here.
Yes, I have tried tylenol, I have even taken 3 ibuprofen. Nothing seems to help. UGH. This is driving me crazy.

Q&A: Has anyone had sinus surgery?

Alan — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 17:51:56 +0000

Question by it’s up to you: Has anyone had sinus surgery?
I have TERRIBLE sinus problems and i’ve had them for years!! However, I know longer have insurance so by the time my doctor told me I needed to go to a specialist and have surgery I could no longer go. I’m hoping I will have insurance soon. I need to get this surgery ASAP!!! I have suffered from migraines for years, but this sinus trouble makes it worse. It seems as though I always have a headache. It seems as though my vision is changing also. I wouldn’t know how to act if I didn’t have sinus problems, because i’ve had problems with my sinuses so long. Does the surgery work and give relief? Did you have it done at a same day surgery center? I feel like i’m DYING!!! And for people out there that think your sinuses can’t cause real problems they are kidding themselves!!!
