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!

Answer by Chu_Chi’s Mom 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…
Question by Juni17: Sinus Issues (Please Help)!?
For the last 3 weeks my nose has been really runny and stuffed up. I really have not been able to breathe out of it and i have mucus constantly running down the back of my throat. This gives me a really loud and gross sounding cough. My throat is really sore in the morning but gets better throughout the day. I am not usually nauseous unless i swallow a lot of mucus. Also i have to blow my nose to try to get relief constantly but on occasion i cant get anything to come out. Usually i get a ton of yellowish mucus (it is darker in the morning) when i blow my nose. Besides the nose and occasional throat soreness i don’t fell feverish or flu sick. The only other thing is that i am more tired than normal.
Sorry for the grossness but i was just wondering if this was just a cold and i should just grin and bear it or should i see my doctor.
Also, i don’t know if this matters but no one I’ve been hanging out with everyday has gotten this sickness.
So yeah…i was just wondering what to do and when i can expect to get better
THANKS = )
