Answer by LadyBug Eat spicy food if you can tolerate it. Chinese food and really spicy hot sauces trigger nasal drainage for me and I get relief. Also, tilt your head over a sink with hot steamy water and inhale steam. Directional head tilt helps to relieve pressure on the sinuses and promote drainage. I leaned this from a doctor.
Also, get yourself a sinus rinse system at the store and follow the directions. Worked for me.
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?

Answer by Daft One You can maybe use some salt water, or peroxide and suck it into your nose(be careful not to choke on it). Tilt your head back and let it set inside your nose for a little while, then BLOW your nose and get it out. Hopefully salt water or peroxide will help dry out the infection. If you can’t find a home remedy to help it, then get on down to the Emergency room and they’ll prescribe you some anti-biotics!
Remember: People used to DIE from a simple infection. So don’t let it go for too long without treating it or you’ll be spending a few days in the hospital with an i.v. drip of antibiotics. You don’t want to be admitted to the hospital, that won’t be fun. So, get it taken care of SOON, hunny!
