Sinus infections are hard as hell to treat, it usually requires antibiotics.
If you want a home remedy that will help open up some passages try boiling Eucalyptus leaves and breathing the vapors......some mint maybe.

Here's one thing you can do: Buy sea salt, usually availble now in supermarkets. Take a bowl of warm water -comfortably warm and put a teaspoonful of sea salt in the water. It may seem uncomfortable or odd at first but snuff the warm salty water up your nose. Gently. Stop whenever it seems too much. Wash the face off. Relax. It does help and if you do it a couple times a day will help.
Crystal brand pure Lousiana Hot Sauce, pure cayenne no chili added. You have some water or coca cola handy to sip. Take a spoonful sip it gently, see if you can get used to it. If possible let it trickle down your throat. The cayenne kills germs, parasites, viruses and possibly even cancer cells, on contact. Things like spicy soup (not the thai peppers it can choke you badly especially if you are sick) the spicy like sweet and sour soup no chilid in it. Salsa is Ok. A sponful of Louisian a hot sauce couple times a day tends to get rid of the mucus built up. The doctors do have a way to totally drain the sinuses and give you antibiotics so your doc should help you with this situation. some docs are not so good because they undermedicate people. When there is a bad infection set in it doesn't help to let it go so much...
You might want to try a combination fo standard medical care which would include a drug like keflex - and draining professionallly - by a doctor who knows what he is doing. Also add to that the hot sauce etc.

Menthyl & Eucolyptus tincture - put a tablespoon in very hot water and inhale the steam by covering your head with a large towel. Do this morning and at night before bed.
Take ibuoprofen for the pain. |

Get a 6V battery, no more, and attach two wires to it. At the ends of it attach a sponge. Get the sponge ends wet and then place them on opposite sides of the sinus cavity. Run a circuit for a few minutes and then switch em about.
Keep an eye on the area and stop if the skin becomes tender.
fyi this is not medical advice and consult a physician in all cases.

MMS with DMSO.......activate 5 drops of MMS with citric acid, wait 3 minutes, then mix with 5-10 drops of dmso.
Rub the mixture all over your forehead, sinuses, cheeks, and areas of pain. Try to leave it on but if it starts to feel uncomfortably hot or you see blotchy redness, just take a wet cloth and wipe off the residue. Depending on severity, repeat a couple of times/day for as long as necessary. (shouldn't be more than a day or 2)
This REALLY works! I've had sinus problems all my life and tried everything listed above except the battery idea. This CURED the problem and I haven't had sinus problems again!
The MMS treatment also ELIMINATED a herpes sore that appeared whenever I got extremely tired or worried, etc. Never came back again! This treatment is effective for ANY kind of ailment close enough to the skin for the DMSO to penetrate. This will keep you out of the ER for all but the most critical emergencies, and with socialized health care looming...we're all going to need this! |

Look at your diet. Do you eat a lot of dairy? Drink a lot of milk?
If you do STOP. Dairy can cause this.
Try rice milk, soy milk; basically non dairy.
Cheese made from rice or goat cheese is better.
Also, what blood type are you? Eat Right for Your Blood type diet; is proven.
My husband has been on it for years now. He use to have serious sinus infections and stomach/intesinal disorders.
He never went to a tradition dr.; just went on this diet. Now, he is infection free, and has NO more stomach pain. My husband is currently 61 yo and does NOT take any medication. He is healthy. When people ask his age they are amazed. He looks 48 yo. |

Also, there is a science behind eating the right diet.
and staying away from dairy products. Adults should not drink cows milk. |

Get one of those netti pots at the drug store and rinse out your sinus with a warm, mild salt water.
I know it sounds gross. But it works. You may have to do it every couple of hrs.
Once you get used to it. It doesn't feel weird. lol.
If it is an infection - you will need antibiotics. But the netti pot will help your head feel better.

if you can't stomach the sinus rinses (best thing) drink a 8-12oz glass of tepid/slightly warm water. wait 5 minutes.
fill a bowl with HOT water, add a couple of drops each of (real) tea tree and (real) eucalyptus essential oils. hang your head over the bowl w/ towel and inhale for a 2-5 minutes. keep your eyes closed or they WILL sting quite a bit.
you'll either start sneezing, coughing, runny nose whatever.... get RID of the mucus in your sinus cavities and the bacteria have no place to grow. KEEP DRINKING AS MUCH WATER AS IS COMFORTABLE but at least 2 more glasses than you do on a normal day.
do this 2 or 3 times per day but no more.
Warm compresses to your face would probably feel good too.
tylenol for the headache but you won't need it for more than a day.
The hot sauce thing will help. kills germs and keeps mucus thin so, again, so it doesn't stick around for more bacteria to grow.
Just support your body so it can do what it is already designed to do.
feel better.

Before you do anything else give yourself a vigorous massage on your face and head, more specifically the top of your head, your cheeks (along your jawline and from nose to ears), the bridge of your nose, along the sides of your nose, and your forehead from side to side. This will encourage blood flow and ease up some of your stuffiness. |

Need anti biotics, tons (gallons) of water and NO SUGAR AT ALL. You need to alkalize your body. Have lots of soups (easy on the salt), take benedryl to dry out the nose, and sleep. Put hot compresses across your nose and it's soothing.
If you're all clogged ask you doctor for a medrol dosepak.
It's an anti inflammatory that drains sinuses, but it's very strong. You need to get that out of there. You can can encephalitis (swelling brain) from a bad sinus infection. |

They may not be a good idea at this point. Unless he uses a rife machine. He could have die off and make it worse.
I did the zapper thing and got a sinus infection so bad I had to take about 12 rounds of antibiotics and anti inflammatories, and the ENT never saw anything like it.
Get rid of the illness first. Unless you can afford rife, which most people can't. |
