How do you deal with sinus problems?

My DH used to think he was getting sick all the time, then he learned that it was allergies. Now if he feels a tickle in his throat or a stuffy nose, he takes 2 or 3 benedryl at bed time and then he's much better in the morning. He usually does this for several days. He also has Claritin for the day time, but doesn't us that too much.

drink a lot of water and take ascorbic acid daily

Loratadine works good for me, as does Claritin D.

Spicy foods, and even cook with fresh garlic. that should help your husband's sinus problem.

i take medicines, and make sure that i feel very warm with thick blankets..

So has mine and it is driving me nuts. I dont know what to do

if you know about pranayama in yoga then try it for your husband . Ask a Yoga mentor to teach it . this has great controlling power for sinusitis

I think you can try Pranayam or Yoga s a cure.I have found a site that has some accupressure techmiques to help you with healing.try it for you husband too http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/21/190.cfm Or you can ask for diatant healing through reiki.I asked them for my feet and they have started to heal and its been only a day.Give it a try at this site: http://www.reiki.org/ I have actually benfitted from them.

Believe it or not I think good ol' fashioned menthol, either through Vicks (rub) or some other rub is quite helpful. If I am ever feeling like a sore throat is coming on, which is usually a sign of things to come I rub down with Vicks and the next day I am usually much better. Also, have you tried Green Tea? I have been recommending that to all my friends for anything that ails them. I used to have a lot of colds (which I believe resulted from sinusitis, but I could be wrong) and since I started drinking green tea on a regular basis, I have not been ill or to the doctor in more than two years. I used to try all the recommended things like inhaling steam to clear up stuffiness, or taking Allegra and staying away from dairy which I thought used to aggravate my sinuses but none of those were really foolproof, the only thing that has assured me of wellness is green tea, the pure one that you get in a big green box with like 100 bags in it (at Hilo!) for just about $25 TTD but I do recommend you buy it elsewhere because that Hilo brand kinda tastes like dirt to me,...maybe it's organic I don't know...! These days I never inhale steam unless I am cooking, and I still drink dairy occasionally and as long as I have my green tea (with a hint of lemon or plain) and my Vicks, I am good to go! Hope you find your cure!!
