How many people here fight sinusitis or sinus infections, and what are their remedies. It seems about every 4-5 years I end up having to fight one. Well this one is kicking my butt. I haven't thought twice about turning on a power tool or even walking thru the shop for over a month just not to stir up any type of dust. Started as a sinus problem, then went to bronchitis, and now I'm back to a sinus problem. Dr prescribed amoxycillin (?) and have been taking overdoses of guaifenesin and sudafed PE daily. The antibiotics killed the infection bugs temporarily, but they are back again due to the root cause. Another Dr appt Monday. The lower sinus area kind of even with the nose seems fine, its the ones right above and behind the eye area that's killing me, feels like your eyes are going to bulge out and the headaches in that area are killers. It seems that no matter what I use I can't get that area to drain properly. I know I can't be alone in the world so what do some of you all do to help? So far I have even bought one of those netti (?) teapot looking things to flush them, moved up to the squeeze bottle design and still no good. Even ate a whole jar of jalapeno peppers thinking that may help, that just flushed my forehead sweat glands. Eight hours of a heating pad & wet towel on forehead/nose area no good either. Head over a boiling pot of water, etc, etc. I think I have done everything short of firing up the air compressor and inserting air nozzle here type thing.
Any ideas will be great as dr appt still 1 1/2 days away.
