Sinus Medication Solution

Question by Mori Ken: How do I get rid of ear pressure from a sinus infection?
I’ve tried all the recommended relief crap on the internet. I’m in excruciating pain, I haven’t slept for two days, my throat hurts to the point where I can’t talk, and I can’t go to a doctor. I need something that’ll get rid of the pain immediately. I can’t stand it anymore. I’ve missed a weeks worth of classes because of my d*mn ear. I’ve tried the water, holding my nose and blowing, peroxide, 6 different sinus drugs, chewing gum. I have no transportation to a doctor nor the money to pay them. Please help me.
I’ll rephrase an earlier statement: I have no money. When I say no money I mean full out welfare, living with relatives, no possessions broke. Unless I steal them I’m not getting meds.
Also, I’ve had a 99-102 degree fever for three weeks. I had the flu for two weeks and now my infection.
On top of my fever and pain I’ve been vomiting and coughing up a lot of mucus. (Those are two different thoughts. I’m not vomiting mucus.) I’m trying to be as specific as possible.
My face is really swollen and moving my jaw causes more pain than my ear.

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)

Question by blood_red_moon: Sinus pressure relief…plz help?!?
I have never had problems with my sinuses until this year. I woke up this morning and the whole left side of my head is full of junk!!! But only the left side…my left nostril is running, pressure and fullness in my left nostril and behind my left eye, my left ear sounds like I have water in it, and my left tonsil is sore and swollen.

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!

Question by The Rogue Cook: How to get rid of sinus pressure from a cold? PLEASE HELP!?
I came down with a cold last Saturday (my husband had it last week so therefore I got it from him). On Sunday night I ended up in the ER cause I just couldn’t breathe and my husband was VERY concerned about my cough. The ER doctor told me that its just a cold and considering its a virus he couldn’t really give me a prescription. So he told me to try Robitussin & Mucinex. Yesterday I started feeling better but last night it got worse. I ended up staying up half the night (only got about 2 hrs of sleep and I’m very tired today) cause I couldn’t breathe, my ears and my head was throbbing, and my throat was hurting.

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.
