get sinus or throat culture before next round of antibiotics, Home remedy is chicken soup/ orange juice, Warm saline nasal rinses, can use McNeil Sinus rinse, has salt and pinch of baking soda so it won’t burn. Nyquil, has diphenhydramine or Benadryl in it, will dry you up. salt water gargles, tea’s, bland foods. Vit C/ Zinc 100mg, stay hydrated. could be virus, it’s been going around, so wash your hands, keyboard and cellphone, change toothbrush when well. doubt bacteria mutated, but, you might not have had the right antibiotic and doc should have cultured you first, they are the first ones to not want to treat sinus inf with antibiotics and then they do it anyway. The docs need to follow their own advice and shut up and start being truthful with the public. He shouldn’t have guessed, cause that’s exactly how resistant bacteria works. he probably gave you 5 day Z pack and it killed off enough staph or upper resp flora, try some yogurt or Kefir, tangy yogurt from health food store, to restore gut bacteria or eat green vegies for the same effect.

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…

You don’t always; sometimes it stays deep in the sinuses. Temple and eye pain/pressure (especially between the eyes) is indicative of a sinus problem, yes; I hadn’t heard of a stiff neck as being a symptom of sinus infection though, odd.

I *would* worry a bit if it’s been several days on antibiotics with little to no improvement, though; you may need a different antibiotic. I’d suggest calling up your doctor again for advice. You may also need a decongestant and expectorant to help thin the congestion in the sinuses and help relieve the pain and pressure while the antibiotic hopefully works on the cause. There’s a lot of good over-the-counter ones; I personally prefer Mucinex these days.

Antibiotics, use some cunning and you can get your hands on some….trust me!

Also I’ve been on antibiotics for 2 days really. I woke up today with a bloody nose. Fixed that went back to sleep and with the sinus drainage from the infection most the blood seeped down my throat. Blow my nose BLOOD cough BLOOD but lol i did notice that the pressure in my ears was going down. (Something to look forward too lol)

Give your answer to this question below!

Why would the pressure only be on one side of my head…and how do I help relieve some of the pressure? It feels like the left side of my head is going to explode. Any home remedies, maybe b/c I am already taking Tylenol sinus.

TY everyone!!
No, I do not have a viral infection. I am in nursing school…I know what sinus infections are. I just can’t figure out why it is only on one side of my head. The sore throat is from drainage, the pressure is from….well, snot! lol

Home remedies would be great…just some simple relief!

To relieve sinus pressure in the face, be sure to use nasal corticosteroids and decongestants. Drain out the sinuses using a neti pot with advice from a pediatrician in this free video on sinus pressure.Expert: Dr. David Hill Contact: www.capefearpediatrics.com Bio: Dr. David Hill has more than 14 years of experience as a practicing pediatrician qualified to work with infants through teenagers. Filmmaker: Reel Media LLC Series Description: Sinus discomfort and head colds can be mild to severe and sometimes require surgery of the sinuses. Relieve sinus pain with advice from a pediatrician in these free videos on sinus and head cold advice.

This morning I decided to call my doctor and I made an appointment. He checked my ears, nose, throat, etc and he told me the same thing the ER doctor told me, that I just have to wait it out (I guess I was hoping that he could give me something so I could get some sort of relief). But he told me to try Afrin. I tried the Afrin and that has made my symptoms worse (my nose is burning, my eyes are really watery).

I’m just feeling so miserable right now and I’m sooo tired but how am I supposed to sleep when I can’t breath? So my question is what other things can I do to help with all the sinus pressure, ear pain, headache, etc? Every time I blow my nose nothing comes out. I’m prone to nosebleeds so I don’t want to blow too hard and my nose is sooo sore right now.

Here are some things I’ve been doing:
Running the hymidifier
Taking Robitussin, Mucinex, and Tylenol
Rubbing Vicks on my chest, and under my nose (a friend even suggested rubbing some on the bottom of my feet)
I’ve been drinking plenty of liquids
Tried the Afrin (but it just made my symptoms worse)

Does anyone have any helpful ideas or tips?
Thats what I got was the AFRIN pump 12 hr. But I think it made my symptoms worse.

Answer by Jaques Mehoff
did you try the AFRIN pump mist regular 12 hr?

that’s what i use.. sometimes i gotta blow my nose prior and afterwards.. it helps.. but don’t abuse it.

that’s the only thing that works for me.. take patience and relaxing.. you shake it.. PUMP it prior to insertion and then pump once into each nostril and lay down… watch the flix… drink a glass of water.

and sit it out… if you must later blow the nose.. do so.

(oh, watch the diet.. sinuses don’t like processed foods including dairy)

vicks is JUNK… pills are too long to work.. nose spray! it’s fast… additive and effective.

once the cold’s over.. discard the spray.
