what do you do when your sinuses fill up and your nose starts to run, aside from allergy pills and neti pots or saline spray? I'm looking for easy fixes. Sometimes eating a popsicle helps. sometimes a cup of tea.

I don't need medication recs. However have never heard of cetrizine. its not chronic disease for me, it's just allergies occasionally. I am talking about symptomatic relief.

I've done this. what I mean is ways of immediately relieving the pressure.

When my sinuses really is bothering me I get stuffy clogged nose that i can't breath, and all the remedies I have tried failed, I eat something cold LOL yep a popsicle or ice candy. I have a decongestant tablet which i take when I need it and it has done some alleviation. Yes, i do take a cup of tea and I put in mint leaves. And I have someone to do some accupressure when there's headache too.

I don't like to take tablets or pills.I have acute sinus problem.Whenever I started to have problem of nose clog etc I would be running for my vaporizer.Its the best option for me.I would inhale steam.This gives me some relief and lots of liquid diet, I prefer hot soup with pepper added.

I am with you on the soup. sometimes I add fresh ginger to soup, and garlic if I am catching a cold.
