I feel sick, do I have sinusitis? What can I do to feel better?!
Question: I feel sick, do I have sinusitis.? What can I do to feel better.?
My symptoms: Sneezing, a clogged, congested, runny nose, head pressure (my head feels like a hot air balloon, sometimes giving me a headache), ear pressure (when I blow my nose my ears sometimes pop), red veiny burning eyes, and occasional shivers.
This can't be a cold because it's been like 80 degrees this past week, and this just hit me out of nowhere! Remedies please.? Thank you!

I think you do have the cold that has been running rampant over the past month. I've had it since last Thursday, exhibiting the same symptoms as you.
The best remedies I have found for alleviating the horrible sinus pressure and congested nose are Mucinex D and use of a neti pot. I've been using the neti pot for 4 days and the improvement in my sinuses is just amazing. I can breathe through my nose almost as though I never caught this stupid cold, I can taste things again!
Drink plenty, and I mean plenty of warm liquids, teas, coffee, hot chocolate. Tylenol has worked great for the aches. Sleep in a room with a warm mist humidifier.
Hope you feel better!Health Question & Answer

I know alot of people think this is gross, but it is the only thing I can get relief from. I have bad allergies and frequent sinusitis... I bought one of those nasal rinse products at walmart (or any drugstore) that comes with saline packets that you mix with water.
Get the kind with the neti pot (teapot looking thing) rather than the squirt bottles, as it works better for me. It is kind of hard to use the first time or two but the results are well worth it.
It provides instant relief for pressure and nasal congestion. It isn't a "cure", but offers very good temporary relief. Some people also say if you use it daily, it will prevent future problems. I don't use it regularly though, only when i need it.

you can do a hot and cold compress..... get a VERY hot bowl of water, a rag, and an ice pack. Put the ice pack over your eyes/nose (sinus area) and keep it there for 30 seconds, then replace it with the hot rag and hold that there for 30 seconds... continue to do this for about 3-5 minutes. This will break up the sinus congestion, then apply pressure to your sinus points(http://www.gwinslow.com/gw/headache1.jpg
hold each point until the pain has lessened. also go to a natural food/herbal store and pick up some Echinasia. take it twice a day.... also sitting in a steamy room or with a vaporizor would be good as well....Health Question & Answer

not to be too graphic but a big sign of a sinus infection is thick, yellow mucus when you blow your nose. if you have that, you may want to head to the doctor and get some meds. i ususally just tough them out, they suck but you can get better without meds. also, try theraflu cold and sinus. always makes me feel better.
you could very well have a bad head cold, you can get them in summer. i definitely do.Health Question & Answer

Vitamin C is always needed when you sick, 500 mg is enough. Drink a lot of water. Try medicine for influenza. and maybe paracetamol 500mg to reduce the pain. Be careful, don't overdose. Don't use something that you should sap (i don;t know what is the english word of sucking from your nose-> inhale). Sleep enough. If you don't like taking medicine you don't have to. Eat boiled food(something like soup) but don't use any coconuts. And add them with a LOT of pepper. This will make you nose feel better but you nose will excrete a lot of slime. If you're sweating than it's good. Don't use air conditioner to make the room colder.Health Question & Answer
