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.

Flonase or Nasocort and tylenol-sinus.

You have sinus problems.. very common to have it\n\nYou need to go to a doctor and tell him you have sinusitis, and he'll give you something to relieve the pressure\n\nWhat happens is that normal people have pockets of air behind their nose ( sinuses ) that expand and contract depending on the pressure around you head.. people with sinus problems have those cavities filled with mucus so when they contract because of more outside pressure, it creates pressure inside your head giving you a headache\n\nIf after you visit your doc you still ahve it.. blow your nose reaaaally hard before you go underwater.. this will relieve some of it

You probably have a sinus infection and need antibiotics.

I have to agree with you on the steroid meds.  This is only a temporary fix.  Figuring out what causes your sinusitis is important.  \nI have allergies and flush the nasal cavaties with a Neti Pot.  You can buy these at a health food store or online. I make my own rinse, but they do sell them.  This has helped a lot.\n\nYou can also clear your sinuses by gently inhaling vapors of a freshly grated horseradish.  Do this slowly and cautiously.  But it will clear any congestion!

The food you eat can be a great way to relieve sinus problems. Spices like pepper, cinnamon, and cloves are natural decongestants and help clear up the sinuses. It might also be a good idea to figure what causes your sinus problems and avoiding them.

Yes, you are better off getting a prescription from your doctor or do what I do, if you have sinus problems, allergy problems  (I have had them forever) the best thing I have found is this:\n\nGROSSAN HYDRO PULSE/HYDROPULSE NASAL/SINUS IRRIGATION\n\nThis sounds gross, (maybe that is why it is named Grossan) but it has cleared up any sinus infections I get.  Email me if you have any questions.  You can do a search on EBay to see what it is.

You should probably go to the doctor.\n\nIt could be just allergies or sinus, or it could be more serious.

One of the most effective treatments for chronic sinus problem is the use of a "netty pot".  They are availble in many drug stores and Wal-Marts.  They are a small container with a spout used with saline to wash your sinuses out.  Studies have found them to be as effective as medical treatments in releaving chronic sinus troubles in many cases. Please have your problems checked out  by a doctor or other medical professional.  While this is a great option for many people only after a thorough exam and history can your properly diagnosed and the best treatment option be determined.

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.

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.

coke and meth. I'm sure there are others. He may be snorting. Sinus problems and always sniffling could be from drugs; but, he could have allergies or a cold. Best advise is to talk to him.

Get a humidifier or vaporiser and plug it in for awhile.  This will add moisture to the air and help with your dry sinus. Also make sure you drink plenty of liquids.  Water is best but fruit juice and decaf tea are good too.  Have you been tested for allergies?  Allergies can cause really bad sinus problems.  I've had them all my life and find allergy medicines like Benadryl do help.  There are also some good nasal sprays that will help.  Check with your doctor about those.  The over the counter ones give me rebound congestion, that is, if used too much, they can cause your nose to be even more stuffy.  A good saline spray helps with the dryness also.  A pharmacist can recommend one.

I have been using distilled water and sea salt.  You take a shallow dish and put distilled water in it with enough sea salt to make it taste like sea water.  Take the dish to your nose and put your nose in the water and inhale up your nose.  I know this sounds awful but it really works I hardly have any sinus problems.  This helps dissolve the mucus up your nose.  Also Essential Oil Wild Oregeno will help break up the mucus.  The herb Slippery Elm is also good.

2-3 weeks.  You might need antibiotics to really clear up your sinus problem, though.

Ive suffered from sinusitis for years.Meds and docs can only relieve symptoms and give you side effects, including drowsiness etc. And dont get your sinuses operated on! That'll make them worse.\nWhile I dont know any permanent cure these could help you--did wonders for me:\n\n1. Regular steam inhalations.\n\n2. I dont know where you live, but try Chinese an/or Indian herbal cures such as their teas and 'joshanda'.\n\n3. Alternatively, try a good homepathic doctor in your area--some of them are really good and have very useful medicines for problems like sinus, and their meds wont give you side effects.\n\nAlso, reassess your diet and habits--get a lot of Vitamin C, stop smoking, get regular (but not over-strenuous)exercise such as walking and so on.\n\nHope you get better soon.

I got this from the nhs website in UK- check out the link for more info- its good quality info that you can trust.\n\nTreatment\nSometimes no treatment is needed and, like with colds, the immune system will clear the virus and any associated symptoms within a week. However, if you have severe symptoms, or the infection has not cleared within a week, your GP may prescribe you antibiotics. \n\nIn either case there are ways to help relieve your suffering in the meantime. \n\nPainkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can  relieve a headache, high temperature and any pain or tenderness around the infected area. \nYou can buy decongestant nasal sprays or drops from pharmacies, and although they may not shorten the duration of sinusitis, they may briefly relieve a blocked nose, helping you to breathe more easily. Be aware that you should not use a decongestant spray or drops for more than a period of five to seven days at a time. \nSteam inhalation may help relieve discomfort and nasal blockages, although there is little evidence to prove how effective this method is at fighting sinusitis.\nUntreated or particularly severe cases may require surgery to drain the sinuses.
