Question by Motive Nelson: Are there any other treatment or home remedies anyone knows of that has worked for them?
My sister had about 6 sinus infections in the past year.She’ve done allergy testing and came out negative and just finished one more round of antibiotics (one of the strongest) and my sinusitis is still lingering.My specialist is highly recommending I have surgery, but I would like to avoid that as much as possible. Are there any other treatment or home remedies anyone knows of that has worked for them?

Answer by Minx Unaddressed lactose intolerance will produce problems with your sinuses, constant ear nose and throat infections and a plethora of other symptoms such as digestive issues, headaches and migraines, bloating and constipation, excessive gas and excessive belching, insomnia, irritability and moodiness, fatigue and exhaustion, inability to clear your throat properly after meals, mucous in your stools …. try ditching the milk and dairy for a week and increase your intake of leafy and green vegies and green salads and perhaps drink organic rice milk and see if your symptoms abate any.

Answer by marla Netty pot is always good. Basically that is rinsing your nose with salt water.
Yes to Vitamin C, Echinacea and Garlic! Helps your body fight the infection.
Yes to soup!
I use a heating pad on my face or take a really hot bath. I avoid things that make my mucus thick if it feels really bad. I eats lots of fruits and veg since they contain so many vitamins and minerals. I do take advil cold and sinus with my anti-biotic to help with the pain and congestion. I try to keep my nose and hands clean so I do not re-infect myself when I star getting better. I avoid ac (I had one hang around all summer once because of the ac. I took 3 days after the weekend off from work so I did not have to sit in it. At that point something gross and sticky which was multicolored came out of my nose and viol-la, I was better. I think I would still be sick if I had not gotten out of the ac. Now its back on and I am getting sick again, WTF.) Get as many Vitamins as possible. I usually take Echinacea and Garlic supplements and Advil Cold and Sinus. I wash it all down with air-borne. Is it a lot, well yeah… But most of it is vitamins, and I never mix cold medicines or take more then needed, just vitamins.
