Hubby is sick with what sounds like a sinus infection. Anyone out there know of anything that will help bring relief from the congestion? I am giving him OTC pain medication, but wonder if there isn't something more I can do to help get the infection to break loose. Thanks in advance!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 92956Benadryl helps more than Sudafed. That stuff raises blood pressure which makes ears plug up.
One thing I swear by (and I have had chronic ear and nose infections my whole life. It's Nutribiotic and Sino Fresh. The first can be found at any Vitamin Shoppe, but Sino Fresh is hard to come by. Buy from their online site.
Get a 4 Way Nasal spray but don't use it more than a week.
When his nose is cleared from 4 Way, he can irrigate gently (hold breath, so none gets int he ears) OR btreathe heavily through mouth when pouring into nostrils. It is important not to blow, because it drives air into the ears and deep into sinus passages, spreading infection.
Also, take like B 50's three times a day, it works for some reason, and also take a bit of colloidal silver. One half dropper in a tall glass of water. Put drops of straight CS into ears, so it doesn't spread.
Eat raw garlic mixed in yoghurt with salt and pepper and herbs. On crackers.
Last but not least, gargle with salt water and brush teeth often.
Most important: Wash hands and purify hands frequently.
