The new formulation of Sudafed contains phenylephrine. Just make sure you read the label so you get the correct one. Breathe Right strips work wonderfully and they even have clear ones. A good non medicinal alternative to decongestants.

I've had some success with Alka Seltzer Plus and the liquid gel caps that are for sinus problems. Of course, I don't have year 'round sinus problems like you do. I've also tried the steam and all the other stuff you tried and they don't work for me. What does help me sleep at night is getting a dust mask (the kind you use when working in a dusty environment), put some Vicks on the inside, and wear it to bed. It helps you breathe better through the night, so you don't wake up with drool all over your pillow! Also, some companies have come up with those steamless vaporizers that you put eucalyptus oil or Vicks in and it warms the product to the point where it leaves the odor in the air...quite effective if you don't need steam in your house. <*)))><

Excedrin is a great over the counter medicine as it combines aspirin, acetaminophin, and caffeine.  You can also duplicate this at home...try having a cup of coffee (or a diet soda with caffeine) with tylenol or advil and see if that helps.  Also, if you're suddenly having migraines, you should go to the doc to see if there might be something more serious going on.  The doc can also prescribe migraine medications that can help, although they can be expensive.\n\nAnother thing that used to work for me was Sinutabs.  My migraines were sometimes sparked by swollen sinuses and that sometimes helped.  Try alternating hot and cold on your forehead and back of your neck.  \n\nEveryone who get migraines is unique.  You need to find your own best method.  Hopefully this gives you a couple of ideas to try.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMany Blessings,\nLilyth

i have discovered a trick,   steam sauna.   if you have access to one that is.   i usually have sinus infections that last for a month or so,  last year one came on and i went to my gym and sat in the steam sauna for about 20 minutes a day and it was clearing up within a couple of days of that and completely cleared up within a week.

The best thing that has worked for me is to take an acetaminophen pill like tylenol to reduce the pain and also an antihistamine pill to clear the sinus. You can also purchase brands like Tylenol or Advil that already have the pain reducer and the antihistamine in one medication. Good luck!

Flonase or Nasocort and tylenol-sinus.

I wouldn't take it.\n\n\nMy doctor said sudefed and Robitussin DM are fine. \n\nUse saline spray to also help clear up your nasal passages. \n\nThose shower soothers that you put in the bottom of your shower while you take one work really well. \n\nEat some chicken soup\n\nDrink some hot tea that doesn't contain caffien (Lipton has a honey and lemon flavored bags that don't contain caffiene)\n\nDrink alot of of liquids \n\nAvoid dairy products (for now) since they will just make your congestion worse.\n\nUse vapor rub\n\nUse a warm mist humidifier that you can put inhalent in with the water.

You certainly can fight a bacterial infection without the benefit of antibiotics.  After all antibiotics simply assist our own defense system in fighting an infection.  If you are free of fever or serious symptoms from an infection that should have symptoms, then I see no good reason to take the medication.  There are infections that are known to be symptoms free, though (example: Chlamydia).  Sinusitis can have mild symptoms, so be sure you understand the whole story before you elect to skip your medication.  When in question, discuss the matter with your doctor or someone on his staff.\n\nGood luck.

I detect a pattern here...there is no other name for caffeine but related compounds are theophylline and theobromine.  In addition, look out for pseudoephedrine.  You don't have to take "sinus" aspirin, just take aspirin.  Now that I think about it, you probably did take pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant.

Depends on what kind of headache u have.There are several kinds sinus, stress, tension, concussion and so on. Most of the time excedrin or tylenol will work.

I have chronic sinus problems and the only thing that helps me is to do as saline rinse a minimum of once a day.  (OTC and prescriptions tend to dry me out so much I get really bad bloody noses…so I avoid them.)\n\nIf you are having a lot of problems, there's a product called Alkalol.  Here’s what it looks like:  http://www.westburyonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=19299&HS=1\n\nIf you go to a Target pharmacy (or even some of the larger grocery stores) they sell it.  Many times they keep it behind the counter so you just have to ask the pharmacist for it.\n\nI use this only occasionally because it does pack a wallop.  Nothing painful but it certainly does clear you out!!

dont take the ones with guaifenesin or pseudoephedrine. guaifenesin will dehydrate you and that is defineatly bad for your health. pseudoephedrine is the same as ephedra, the weight loss drug that was banned from the market a few years ago, but the bonding is different so instead of effecting your whole cns it just hits your sinuses. very similar to methamphetamine in structure, and is usually what its made out of. excessive use can result some of the same effects as extended use of ephedra and methamphetamine so thats bad too. \nhonestly its not that great of a high, and its not addictive.

No-doze (caffeine pills), anything that says decongestant (which includes sudafed), methylxanthines in chocolate, nicotine gum. Be cautious and avoid energy pills - there any many variations of the now-illegal ephedra which is seriously dangerous.\n\nGood luck!

dont take a antihistamine of any kind take some sudafed drink something hot. then tilt your head back as far as you can and count to 30. do not use over the counter nose sprays this will make it worse.  and a antihistamine will clog you up worse just ask a drugest

I reality, you can treat the end result of allergies with Prednisolone steroid type I and Type II. The doctors will actually prescribe a separate drug for sinus infections, which may have as many as twenty-five root caused. There was an interesting article in the January, 1995 AMA Journal on this very subject my friend.\nGood Q\nGood luck
