They are usually nothing to be alarmed about.  Get a humidifier and/or vaporizer.  My nephew gets them.\n\nSaline spray is supposedly a good thing too.\n\nPinch for 10 minutes is the recommended solution I believe.  \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_nose\n\nBeware, the picture isn't pretty.

Drinking lots of fluids, orange juice, fruits and vegetables when you are able. Try staying away from heavy greasy foods. You should get plenty of rest. That's to get better.\n\nFeeling better fast might require an alka seltzer (seltzer water and crackers are usually good), or perhaps some pepto bizmol(the pink stuff).

Sleep! Your body heals itself the most when you sleep. If your nose is too stopped up to sleep peacefully (or even breathe), take an over-the-counter medicine such as NyQuil that will aid in clearing your sinuses and also help you sleep. If you have to be awake, take it easy. Rest as much as you can, drink plenty of fluids (water and juice - not sodas, as these actually dehydrate your body), and eat foods that are high in vitamins (particularly vitamin C). You can even find "vitamin water" at some grocery stores - two birds with one stone :)

I use peroxide and water mixture to rinse mine. I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis years ago, now I just do all these odd things to prevent infection. Try 3 parts peroxide and 10 parts water solution. Spray in nostrils, as much as you can stand, and hold it for a few seconds. Then blow, its kinda refreshing. A couple times a week, if its real bad a couple times daily for a few days. Some people tell me the snort salt water, in the shower. I have to take Palgic-D just about daily, and wear cotton in my ears all year. Sometimes  at night my head feels cold so I put a toboggan on when I sleep, I have a nice looking one, I don't want to scare my husband! Although he sleeps with a CPAP mask, I bet we look very attractive!Ha Ha.. I'm not a weirdo but if I don't keep my head warm, I will have severe headaches that last for days. My ears are very susceptible to air to. I probably need tubes but I am a grown woman, I don't want tubes in my ears!!!! I manage to only go to the doc twice a year for refills and to have blood work. You know taking in some Vitamin C (real fruit is always better that vitamins), garlic, zinc everyday might help, they all fight of bacteria and infections. I once use Colloidal Silver (Mountain Medicine) but it's hard to come by. Hope some of my odd behavioral habits might help you too.

Sounds like a recurring migraine headache with allergies.  This would account for the swelling.  Do you sleep on the right side at night?  If so, all of the sinus drainage could be accumulating in that sinus cavity.  Use a cool mist humidifier at night, take some kind of antihistamine medication (like Benadryl, Comtrex, Tylenol Allergy-Sinus, etc.), and use Vick's vapor rub on a cloth near your nose.  The Vick's will help decongest your nose and allow you to breath better.  You could also be having an ear infection.  If this continues, you will need to go to the doctor and get on an antibiotic for sinus infection.

cleanse your nostrils with saline 2 times a day, helps me\n\ni keep a bottle of saline in my purse, in my shower, on my bathroom sink and in the glove box of my car (don't forget tissue, u gotta blow your nose afterward)

What symptoms do you have?  If your nose is running all the time, try some antihistimes, if stuffed, decongestants.  If you have green or yellow discharge you need an antibiotic, call the dr definitely.\n\nIf it's allergy or just weather sinus, you can try different things.  Zicam is a natural zinc product you can get in Walmart or drug stores that helps open up and keep open sinus passages.  Cold-eeze brand zinc is good too.  Silver water is very good along with saline sprays to prevent stuffiness and keep sinus infections at bay.  Products like Vicks, that have menthol, even the cough drops are good for the nose and throat as well.  Robitussin makes a great light menthol orange vitamin C cough drop that give you your daily dose and helps sinus too.  I use those.  For eyedrops, if your eyes bother you with sinus too, try the "tears" formula's, because those help moisturize the eyes and flush out pollens.  Air filters help too especially if they have hepa filters, so do air conditioners.  If it's allergy related, you can also keep your mattress covered in plastic and use special hypoallergenic pillow cases.  Wash all bedding in hot water, take a shower before bed as that washes off pollens.  Also, vacuum you mattress, you'd be surprized at all the dirt and dust that comes out, do that before you seal it.  Good luck!\n\nPS I forgot, you can get a netti pot or nebulizer to use to flush the sinus cavities, netti pots cost about $8.00, Walmart and drug stores sell them.  Nebulizers cost more about $30.00, I use silver water in mine.

Elevate your head on a couple of pillows at night.  Get a humidifier in your bedroom, and during the day, drink water.  No dairy products.  No milk, cheese, yogurt, or ice cream.  Your eustatian tube in your ear gets full of mucous when you lie down flat.  Call your doctor anyway, and tell him how long you have taken the medicine he prescribed,(doctor's have a lot of patients, and they can't remember all the details when you call them), and ask him for advice.  He may want to see you to check your ears, or prescribe a stronger medication.  Be sure you are taking all of your medicine exactly as the doctor prescribed it to be taken.

Try cutting out dairy products from your diet. I found that really helped me. I didn't like taking medication all the time and sinus washouts are one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I used to be a big milk drinker. Just be sure to get your calcium from other sources though otherwise you'll end up with worse problems.

after nose cauterisation, you could apply some oragel inside your nose with a qtip. you want it to get a few hours before you try it, and you want to preferably let the doctor's office do this, since this maipulation can cause you to bleed again, the oragel will numb it up for a few hours, an alternate is to apply the same on the outisde of the nose, this may not work though. good luck

Before you sleep take aspirin or a pain reliever. I just put ice in my mouth and keep it near where the pain is. It usually numbs the pain, and it dissolves so there is no clean-up!

Start taking a zinc supplement as soon as you realize you are getting a cold.  Drink lots of water and juice with vitamin c.  If you are congested, you can take decongestants in the form of cold pills and drink warm liquids like chicken broth to help break up the mucus.  Make sure you are washing your hands often (20 seconds of lathering and rinse under warm water) and after you blow your nose or cough - if you are constantly blowing you can use some Purell to sanitize your hands, but you should still wash them with good old soap and warm water before you touch your face/eyes/mouth or eat.  Get plenty of rest.  Once you are better, continue to wash your hands often -as this is the best defense against getting sick.  I hope you feel better soon.
