I've got a horrible sinus headache, which paracetamol or ibuprofen barely touch. I've been inhaling steam every 2/3 hours today but it's still really painful. Any suggestions to help shift it pse??
No good to you tonight but I use sterimar spray to loosen and drain the junk. If you have got any antihistamine then a tablet or nasal spray will help too
I've been using a hot flannel strategically placed, which does give a little respite but I stupidly ran out of Sterimar yesterday and forgot to get a replacement today and now the chemist is closed until Thursday! This is something I tend to get frequently in the winter but not usually as severe as this. GP refuses to give antibiotics unless I'm still suffering after a month - then I'd have to wait another two weeks to get another appointment to get them!
I used to suffer terribly with headaches, blocked nose, pain up the side of my face, pain in the eyes. Often woke up with it in the night. I have a small bottle of menthol crystals and used to dissolve a couple in boiling water and inhale the steam which usually helped enormously.
