Steam inhalation & some breathing exercises will solve your problem. If you are a smoker stop it. Avoid contact with cigarette smokers.

The solution always begins with a diagnosis and in your case there are a number of possibilities.  To dry nasal secretions consider an anti histamine such as loratadine (Claritin).  This runs the risk of causing the secretions to be too thick would could lead to a sinus infection.  Indeed - you may have a sinus infection in which case you will require a quinolone antibiotic.  The most effective treatment for drainage in the absence of an infection is a prescription corticosteroid nasal spray.

No over-the-counter (OTC) medications can cure acute sinusitis. But some OTC medications and other home remedies may help reduce pain and congestion associated with sinusitis. These remedies include:\n\n- Spraying a saline solution in your nose several times a day to relieve stuffiness \n- Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot — not boiling — water several times a day \n- Taking over-the-counter pain relievers \n- Applying warm compresses to your nose, cheeks and eyes \n- Drinking additional fluids \n\nActually, most cases of sinusitis are cured without antibiotics, but I hope these remedies at least make it better for tonight.\n\nAnd happy birthday!

Eat 30 to 40 raisins daily.  Honey is most beneficial in sinusitis.  take one table-spoon honey twice a day.  Inhale honey thrice a day.  Cut down on your sugar intake and start jaggery.  Inhale steam twice a day.  Avoid cold climates and air conditioners.  Wear warm cloths to protect from cold.  Drink hot soup.  Avoid ice cream, cold drinks and cold water.  Insert tooth pick into your nostrils to sneeze.  After the mucus is released from the head, you will feel better.  Correct constipation.  Now, press the finger tip and thumb of both the hands for 10 minutes twice a day on empty stomach to fight the ailment.  Pressing finger point will certainly help.  Please let me know the progress.  Good luck and best of health.

If the discharge from your nose is crystal clear, it's probably allergies.  If its yellowish, it could be a cold.  If it is allergies it could be from either outside(the weeds) or inside(are there any new carpets?)

Yes! The cold will dry your sinuses out terribly.\nEspecially if the wind is blowing. \nTry covering your nose and mouth with a scarf or something when you're outside. The humidity from your breath will keep your sinuses in their naturally moist working order!

Have you been checked for a sinus infection?\n\nSinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head\nHome care can help open the sinuses and alleviate their dryness. \n\n\n\nPromote drainage \n\n\nDrink plenty of water and hydrating beverages. Hot tea is often recommended. \n\n\nInhale steam 2-4 times per day by leaning over a bowl of boiling hot water (not while the water is on the stove) or using a steam vaporizer with a towel over the head and bowl to prevent the escape of the steam. Inhale the steam for about 10 minutes. Taking a hot, steamy shower may also work. Mentholated preparations, such as Vicks Vapo-Rub, can be added to the water or vaporizer to aid in opening the passageways. \n\n\nThin the mucus: Expectorants are drugs that help to expel mucus from the lungs and respiratory passages. They help to thin mucous secretions, enhancing drainage from the sinuses. The most common is guaifenesin (contained in Robitussin, for example). Over-the-counter (OTC) liquid cough medications or prescription tablets can also combine decongestants and cough suppressants to reduce symptoms as well as to eliminate the need for the use of many medications. Read label ingredients to find the right combination of ingredients or ask the pharmacist for help. \n\n\nRelieve pain: Pain medication such as ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil are examples), aspirin, and acetaminophen (Tylenol is in this category) can reduce pain and inflammation. These medications help to open the airways by reducing swelling.

Probably you need antibiotics, but if you refuse to do that try the following:\n\n(Your goal is to allow your body to wash out the infection naturally.)\n\n1. Drink lots of water.  If not water, herbal tea.  Camomille with a little honey and ginger.\n\n2. Chicken soup or other high sodium soup helps with water absorbtion.\n\n3. Consume something spicy (jalepenos) to loosen up your sinuses.\n\n4. Consume vitamin C either in tablet or natural form (fruit, not juice).\n\n5. Breathe intentionally, closing off one nostril, then the other (yoga technique).\n\n6. Use warm water (shower or bath or damp cloth) to loosen sinues.\n\n7. (Drastic measure?) mix warm salt water and snort it in and out (do not - yech - swallow it).\n\n8. Get plenty of bed rest, but make sure that - particularly if you have dust allergies like I do - your bedding is washed.\n\n9. Use antibiotic ointment in your nose in v. small quantities

Yes!  Go see your Doctor!  Sounds like a REALLY bad sinus infection.

Sounds as if you have a or some cavities.  Possibly sinus problems?

There are several signs and symptoms that indicate you have a sinus infection. Most often people complain of pain, usually near the areas where the sinuses are; the cheek bones, the jaw line and teeth, above and behind the eyes, and in the head. This pain is often made worse when the doctor taps over the sinuses with his fingertips. As the infection worsens, fever may develop along with nasal discharge usally green or yellowish in color which is a sign of infection., head congestion, ear pain, and a diminished sense of smell.\nInflammation of the nose, is the major symptom of AR (allergic rhinitis, regular allergies). Inflammation causes itching, sneezing, runny nose, redness, and tenderness. Sinus swelling can constrict the eustachian tube that connects the inner ear to the throat, causing a congested feeling and "ear popping." The drip of mucus from the sinuses down the back of the throat, combined with increased sensitivity, can also lead to throat irritation and redness. AR usually also causes redness, itching, and watery eyes. Fatigue and headache are also common

This problem can be caused by a virus or bacteria, by polyps or swelling in the nasal conchae, by overuse of nasal sprays (which destroy the nasal lining, ultimately).  Irritants from tobacco smoking are a common cause also.  An antibiotic may be necessary - Amocycillin is the AB of choice. Truly chronic rhinitis /sinusitis requires physical examination (to exclude polyps etc) - and may be cured by a simple op to help the cavities to drain.  (Nurse 'Creamcheese').

You can have one of many things wrong with you it could be allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip developed into sinusitus, it could just be sinusitus, but then again it could be asthma.  See a GP or an ENT to start and if they feel you have asthma they can refer you.  Does the problem go away during the day?  Allergies tend to be worse at night and early morning.

Ever tried ear candling (find them at the health food store)?  Sinus lavage (warm salt water through sinuses) and sinus massage (warm compress over face followed by rubbing over sinus passages)?  Drinking extra water and something like Mucinex to thin secretions (which helps prevent mucus from getting stuck and creating a ripe infection atmosphere)?\nI have terrible allergies and a tendancy towards sinus/throat/ear infections.  These things have helped me tremendously, along with taking claritan d and mucinex every day.

My husband has suffered problems with his sinuses for quite some time. He had the sinus surgery (that we jokingly call the Rotor Rooter surgery). The operation worked although it takes months to receive the full benefit of it and at least for my husband, it was quite painful at first.\n\nHaving said that.... he hasn't had really bad problems in over a decade, so he really is glad that he had it done.\n\nCurrently, he has a severe infection that (after having an MRI done) showed a very thick, dense "glob" at the center of the infection. He is taking a heavy duty antibiotic that was cultured to make sure it actually would do the trick. He also must do the saline rinse approx. twice a day for months...\n\nI don't know where you live, or how bad your pain is, but if you happen to be in the San Franciso/San Jose area, they just opened a "Sinus Institute." It's where my husband has gone and they seem to really know their "stuff."\n\nHope this helps...\n\n\nI've included the link below to the institute...\n\nGood luck to you...
