Sinus Medication Solution

Question by : Intense sinus pressure with no runny nose? Help please!?
So my face feels like it’s about to explode, I’m sure it’s allergies, not sure what kind though.

I have a very strong pressure around my nose and face area, giving me slight earaches and just general discomfort. The thing is though, my nose is completely clear, no drainage what-so-ever and I can breath in and out fine.

Can someone please help me with some kind of at-home relief of this, no medicines please. Will running a luke-warm saline solution through my nose to help to relieve pressure?

And helpful recommendations are greatly appreciated!

You can try appling some Peppermint oil or vicks around your area of pressure or possibly even a warm wash cloth on your face. My dad taught me to moisten a hand towel and put it in the microwave for 25-30 seconds. It will be hot for a moment but it will also stay warm longer. then lay down and relax all the muscles in your face, make sure to have a back up towel right next to you in tin foil waiting when the 1st gets cold. Good luck and if it doesnt get better you are gonna have to go to the doc. The saline solution wont do you any good..it is for relieving stuffiness and you can breathe fine so… Try the cloth or put your head with a towel over a boiling pan of water.. Hope something helps…

Or can you have a sinus problem that causes the pressure, tiredness, pain and headaches without it showing on a CT scan or Xray? (Ive had both and both were clear)
I am sure its sinus related as the only relief is if I inhale steam with olbus oil or snort salty water up my nose – although the relief is v shortlived! Painkillers dont help…
Ive had a MRI scan but have to wait 10 days to see the doctor for the results….
Any advice appreciated! I am SURE its sinus related!
