Are there any home remedies for sinus problems?

[AngelLynn]

I've been having sinus problems for two days lately. Although I am on Clartin D and Mucinex trying to break loose all this conguestion and all this icky mucus. Plus also using breath right strips as I sometimes have problems breathing for the stuffiness.

I've used medicated chest rub on my nose as well. Is there anything else I can do? And yes I am very suceptiable to sinus infections, it never really fails. I always end up having sinus problems.

I can't wait till the millennium when pollens, dust, dander, mullberry, olive, and mold don't bother me. But untill then I'll survive and endure it with the best of all allergy suffers.

flush your nose with warm water with salt and baking soda using a rubber bulb like they use on babies to suck boogers out of their noses. hold your head over the sink and do it several times each side. see an ent dr

Flush your nose out w. salin spray - buy it in a bottle....use like the guy above states.

Also if you go to a big enough drug store (like CVS or Walgreens) they have herbal remedies with the BABY stuff. Its in a pink and blue box... beside the "teething tablets". They run about 7 bucks and you would take like 3 times what the box says. They do seem to help. And have you considered something like sudfed (the kind you have to show your license for)? That dries me up pretty good.

Lock yourself in a small room with a humidifier.

What's a Neti pot?

[Wingnut]

It looks like a teapot. You put a special solution in it and pour it through one nostril and it flows out the other side. Then you switch sides. Google it.

We have had to use the tea pot a couple time a month for the past couple of months and it does work if your consistant, my husband wouldnt use it until he got so stuffy he couldnt breath and had really bad chills, then he broke down and used it and flushed all this green stuff out of his sinus and now hes a believer. lol

I've done that sometimes, it's been awhile though. So I guess you could say I've been lazy. The nasal strips are helping some as well as some nasal spray, but it still really thick up stairs as I am still having troubles breathing. I am contemplating boiling some water and putting some of the mentholated rub on me when I do it.

I am thinking it's a bit of a combo sinus/cold though. As I went out in the rain Saturday to see a play preformed by the Utah Shakespearian Actors at the Southern Nevada College. I felt fine enough to go to church on Sunday, but it was cold and damp as well. And then Monday morning I woke up feeling this way. *sighs*

This book here has help me immensely:The Bible Cure for Allergies By Don Colbert. I've followed all his recommendations: Vacuuming the house daily, getting a good air filter (Honeywell HEPA type.) and supplements (Check with your doctor first before taking any.) Hopefully this can be a blessing, it is worth the money to buy this booklet!:)
