Fever if it's really an infection and not just a stopped up nose.

Sounds like you need to go see an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) doctor, one that is specialized enough to do surguries.  The ear and sinuses are connected, which is why your problems are mixed.  Sudafed will help short term.  I assume you have taken many antibiotics for Sinusitis, with it returning a few weeks/months later.  Go see and ENT.

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.

I suffered from sinus for many years and I am much better now. To fight it:\n\n(1) Sudefed (but just in case)\n\n(2) Exercise regularly especially swimming\n\n(3) Keep yourself warm (warmer) all the time\n\n(4) Go to the park, go to the country side\n\nFor head cold, it is a symptom, 'chinese alcohol with medicine' to drink and to put on every night before bed helps.

Sinus infections are caused when mucous can't flow to remove the germs it has trapped.  Don't take an antihistimine IF it is a sinus INFFECTION.  For allergies or colds ,an antihistimine will reduce the watery mucous.  S INF have thick green,foul mucous.  Drinking lots of water, decongestants and keeping the mucous flowing will help. But an antibiotic may be necessary. S inf can be caused by funguses too and steriods can help then.  Chronic sinus infections happen when you have blockages/polops, allergies,  or using antihistimines too much.  Saline sprays and washes help too.  If Chronic see an ENT doctor.

Flush your sinuses with simply saline.. this will remove the build up of viruses and bacteria.  \nAvoid breathing cleaning products in your home.  avoid breathing fuel vapors.. avoid breathing heavy perfumes .. hairspray and nail polish remover.. all these things destroy the nature mucose in the lining of your nose.\nCut dairy products out of your diet.. milk, cheese, butter, ice cream... these make your mucose very thick and traps bacteria. \nBuild your immune system with good food and exercise.\nDrink spring water..not tap water with clorine.. these things have helped me avoid sinus infections for the past 10 years.\nIf you feel stuff drink hot golden seal tea.. you can find this at GNC. it will make your nose run and clear you up.

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.

See your doctor, please.  If it feels like a sinus headache, you might have a sinus infection.  IF you have a sinus infection, sinus pills won't help...you will need an antibiotic.  But a visit to the doctor will pinpoint the cause of your headache, even if it is not sinus related.  Please see a doctor instead of continuing to suffer.

You might just have allergies, but I'm sure the doctor must have considered that and told you to try Benadryl, Claritin, or Allegra at some point.\n\nAntibiotics are appropriate if you have a bacterial sinusitis.  The particular bacteria might be resistant to whatever antibiotics they gave you.  You would need a culture of your snot to determine this.\n\nUltimately though, the problem probably started with poor sinus drainage.  Even with appropriate antibiotics, the problem will recur if the sinus drainage issue isn't resolved.  In the short term, Sudafed would probably help.  I don't like the idea of using Sudafed for more than a couple of weeks though.  If you have allergies exacerbating the situation (do you have a history of seasonal allergies, or any new pets?), then Benadryl or non-sedating Claritin would help.  For really bad cases, I know of a doctor that swears by the Neti pot (he uses it himself).  It's like a little watering pot for plants.  You fill it up with water or saline and pour it into your nose.  Basically you're physically cleaning out your sinus openings.\n\nIf there is a possibility you're allergic to something, I would try Claritin and the Neti pot first for 3 days and see if the symptoms improve.  If you don't think it's an allergy, try Sudafed + Neti pot.  If that doesn't do it, I would go back to the doctor and try another antibiotic together with the Sudafed + Neti pot.  VERY IMPORTANT: IF THE INFECTION SPREADS--YOUR CHEEK BECOMES RED AND PAINFUL OR IT HURTS TO MOVE AN EYE--GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER.  Sinusitis is normally just an inconvenience, not a serious health problem.  It can sometimes spread, however, and cause cellulitis in your cheek or an orbital abscess in your eye socket--both very serious conditions.

If you don't have a sinus infection treated, it can lead to permanent or fatal results.\nIf you body is ultimately unable to fight off the infection\nit could lead to respiratory infection, ear infection, temporary ear damage, then later permanent ear damage and finally as the infection level increases it could result in renal difficulties.\nAlso, an infection in your head can move to your brain.\nThe longer you have an infection and the more severe it becomes the greater your chances for it to move into your brain.\nThe blood/brain barrier will stop most things from getting in, but if the infection physically enters the brain from bacterial or fungal growth, then you can say, bye bye.
