Question by e^x: Is there a home remedy for a sinus infection?
I really don’t want to go to the doctor for antibiotics. I’m pretty sure I’ve had a sinus infection for the last 2-3 months, and it just won’t go away.
What can I do?

Answer by shailesh If it’s from past 2-3 months, you’re supposed to see your doctor. You have Chronic Sinusitis, that has to be treated clinically.
For symptoms, you can try water vapours with mint medications (Vicks?) in it.

Question by Your Highness: Is there a natural remedy for allergies/sinus pressure?
My only allergy symptom is sinus pain. Is there a way to help soothe my sinus pressure that doesn’t involve taking a pill daily?
I already take thyroid meds everyday, and acid reflux meds when I feel sick. I don’t want to add a third pill to the regime if I don’t need to.

Answer by Ashlee It’s so strange that I have similar problems. I’ve had sinus problems and allergies for years. Also I take synthroid for hypothyroidism. After sinus surgeries I would use nasacort spray twice a day everyday. Keep environment dust free using a hepafilter especially at night. Sinus headaches were bad for me so when they were real bad I took Imatrex. I would lay down and headache would go away. I will always have drainage and pressure so I have changed certain things in life. As in staying away from smokers, perfumes, drugs etc. Steam helps with swelling. Ice does as well. A sinus headache for me is relentless and Imatrex helps. I can’t think of anything else except natural saltwater spray for your nose and one of those facemasks you put in the freezer. Place on your eyes and nose area and lay down. Very helpful.
Question by elizabeth: Please are there any doctors out there? Need relief from sinus infection!?
I have gone to the doctor 3 times in the last 3 or 4 weeks trying to get rid of this sinus infection. I was prescribed an antiboitic and nose spray and I did that and felt the same. They then put me on a stronger antibiotic that I was supposed to take once a day for 3 days which I did, and still I feel the same. I fear that this is going to get worse and turn into something more serious if I can’t fix this simple sinus infection. I also have been getting cold easily and keep trying to get the mucas out of my throat. It’s just in my throat and not my nose. Any help please?! I really do not want to go back a fourth time this month!

Answer by Jamie D I am NOT a doctor, but I have similar problems all throughout allergy season. I have found that a neti pot works wonders for me. It took me a while to figure out how to use it correctly but once I did it was great. Good luck!
Question by Kristen: Is there a way to get ride of a sinus infection at home?
I have a sinus infection but I can’t afford to go to the doctor and have no insurance. I read about using a mixture between decongestants, cough suppressants, and pain medication, but will this actually clear the infection or do I need an antibiotic?

Answer by simplelife3@sbcglobal.net I’m definitely not a doctor. The couple of times I’ve had a sinus infection, I’ve had to get antibiotics. You may want to do a little more research online and see. Sometimes if I see a remedy repeated many times, I would give it a try. I’m sorry…
