Answer by twentyeight7 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.
I’ve been having problems with severe pain and swelling on the side of my nose for about 5 days now, and I’ve been suffering from a sinus infection for about 10 days. I get them chronically and antibiotics don’t really work any more, which is why I waited so long before going to the doctors; at this point it barely makes a difference. Anyway, I get them about once a month, go on antibiotics for 20 days, feel OK for 10 days, then I’m back on the antibiotics again – a terrible cycle! This has been going on for 10+ years, and I’ve never had a swollen face before, but my doctor said that this swelling I’m experiencing is from the infected sinus fluid leaking into my face I guess (?). I’m thinking that as I’m becoming more resistant to the antibiotics, the sinus infections are just getting worse. Anyway, I also got the biggest pimple of my life in that same area (I’ve never had acne) — could that be the infected sinuses “leaking out” through my skin where it’s so swollen in that area?
Also, has anyone heard of getting a swollen cheekbone filled with fluid that’s extremely painful (the part where your cheekbone connects to your nose) with sinusitis? Thank you so much!
