Holy Sinus Pressure
Anyone else?!?! If so, what are you doing about it.
My regime of Allegra-D 24hr and nearly overdosing on Ibuprofen aren't cutting it. I'm adding sinus rinse and flonase tonight to see if it makes any sort of a difference.
Re: Holy Sinus Pressure
Stand up for something you believe in.
I do a sinus rinse, plus allergy meds, and when it's really bad I have found my new wonder drug....
There is also a $2 coupon on the sudafed website
In addition to what others have said - on really bad days, I add liquid Benadryl. I feel like it works faster and better than regular Benadryl.
If you're super congested, it can be hard to get the sinus rinse to actually go in your nose. I sometimes do a nasal spray to open things up, then the sinus rinse, then repeat the nasal spray.
Now that I'm pregnant and can't do my really good prescription drug (Xyflo CR), I am addicted Afrin. It really is true that you should NOT use it for more than 3 days in a row.
ETA: You can also put an ice pack on your face (if you can stand the pressure/weight).
Oh, YES. Afrin is a G-dsend, especially before the long-lasting drugs kick in.
I have a sinus infection and my doctor told me to use Afrin for 3 days. I used it for the first time ever last night and won't ever use it again. My nose was burning for over 4 hours! She also has me taking Augmentin and Mucinex D (with Sudafed).
