Sinus problems

[melodylogan45]

What over the counter medicine have you tried for
Sinus problems that actually worked?

Sudafed is pretty good.
Some of the Cold & Allergy gets results for me.
Normally I use Tylenol brand.

I used that nesipot I think that is what it's called. I felt like I was drowning. I have prescription for this nasal spray right now. It has worked for the right aids of my nose. My left side is still blocked. I see  my doc in a week to schedule surgery

Try Simply Saline or go behind the counter and get some Alka Seltzer Plus-D.

I won't take Alkaseltzer for any reason. I had gotten a free sample from them in the mail back in 2001. Within 24 hours of taking it I had two stones a cardiac arrest and it shrink my kidney.

Wow.  Are they sure the alka seltzer done it?  Geez.  You know, I am leery lately about samples of medications or foods.  You just don't know any more.

Dayquill sinus and musinex sinus are both good.

I don't usually reach for "over the counter" medication.  I like herbs and nutrients.  If I had sinus problems I would take an Esther-C Supplement; 1000 mg. as often as 5 times a day with a multivitamin supplement.  The vitamin A in the multivitamin helps fight and/or prevent infection including sinus infections.

If you want an herb you can get cayenne in capsules.  Cayenne can clear excess mucus out of the respiratory and digestive systems.

Thank you all for the information.

It depends what you have. For allergies I use Zyrtec and for a cold I use Mucinex 1200 mg.

[bigfoot951]

I have found that medications make it worse for me.  I changed my diet over a year ago and I haven't experienced even the slightest sinus problem since and that is something I have been dealing with my whole life.

Claritin and benydril both work for me unless I have a real bad sinus infection. Than I get a doc to prescribe prescription strength nasal spray and/or allergy meds.

[Tresbn00]

Oh my gosh...It is that time of the year again!  I have been pretty safe.  One of the good things about working more than eighty hours per week means I have minimal exposure to the outside world, hence, no allergies! So, I guess, this works for me! When I didn't have kids to pay for I found that either sudaphed or Claritin did the job. But it has to be the sudaphed that they have behind the counter (because it has ephedra and the meth people like to use it to make their junk).

Zyrtec is the only OTC that seems to work for me, but I have extremely bad allergies and take quite a few things.

I saw where mucinex has an allergy med now and I know there is a $6 off coupon available through some free coupon sites.

So far only the drowsy type of allergy meds work for me and I could only take them when I sleep.
