Besides the sinus area, the top of my head also hurts, I have a stuffy and runny nose, it hurts my eyes to focus too much, i feel dizzy, and a bit nauseus – vomited yesterday.

i assume it is a sinus infection, but i keep taking nasal sprays, decongestants, pain relievers, and steam (vapor machine) and it only relieves the pain slightly – it comes back after an hour, and even during that hour, it only allievates one area – i still feel sick.

what is it and what are some quick home remedies? i have an appointment this evening but i wanted your thoughts and help. thank you so much.

Sinuses are hollow air spaces in the human body. When people say, “I’m having a sinus attack,” they usually are referring to symptoms in one or more of four pairs of cavities, or sinuses, known as paranasal sinuses . These cavities, located within the skull or bones of the head surrounding the nose, include

Frontal sinuses over the eyes in the brow area
Maxillary sinuses inside each cheekbone
Ethmoid sinuses just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes
Sphenoid sinuses behind the ethmoids in the upper region of the nose and behind the eyes
Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, and each is joined with the nasal passages by a continuous mucous membrane lining. Therefore, anything that causes a swelling in the nose-an infection, an allergic reaction, or another type of immune reaction-also can affect the sinuses. Air trapped within a blocked sinus, along with pus or other secretions, may cause pressure on the sinus wall. The result is the sometimes intense pain of a sinus attack. Similarly, when air is prevented from entering a paranasal sinus by a swollen membrane at the opening, a vacuum can be created that also causes pain.

One thing i do at home is to soak a small towel in hot water and then place it over the areas which are sore. lie down with your head slightly lower than the rest of you. You may need to re-heat the towel a few times but eventually alot of the mucous build up will begin to run.

A community service video for all of you who have had to live with sinus pain and infections. I did this only a few times and I felt better. I do it every week or so just to be careful. Use clean water and salt with no iodine. Check out the website where I got the info: www.medhelp.org

I am very happy with the result, a week later. The process was painful in the early days, but very carefully everything is going well. Now I can smell again, this is very important for me because I always had a great smell, and I think that is coming back. Thanks for the love of all, I am available for any question that you may have. Send me, I’m answering many … make yours too. See you!

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.

You probably need some antibiotics if it’s been going on this long. OTC pain relief is just masking one symptom.

But, if you’re insistent on doing some OTC drugs, see if you have a compound pharmacy in your area. They can mix drugs into a topical ointment that will adsorb into your skin.
