Question by ~Claire~ FutureFilmmaker: Cold/allergy nasal congestion relief?
Hey there!

I just came down today with either super terrible allergies or a cold or sinus infection.
Symptoms:
* TERRIBLE nasal congestion
* Low off and on again fever
* Sinus Headaches
* (sorry, TMI) Really off colored, runny nasal mucus
* Sorta achey
* Symptoms lessen during the day and are horrible at night and in the morning.
* I have canker sores if that means anything.
* There’s an outbreak of a lot of sicknesses in my school.. EVERYONE seems to be sick.
* Lethargic
* Hungry and thirsty a lot.. but when I get a hold of food or water it isn’t very appetizing.
* And a new symptom.. a little tickle in my throat. Not all the time, but it’s there.

Any suggestions how to lessen symptoms? Any idea of what I have? And if it’s a cold.. how to make it not as contagious? I play basketball and I don’t want to get the whole team sick… :/

I’ve tried Clartin (no help), and gargling with salt water (temporary relief), i’ve used nasal spray for the past four days but it says not to over-use it…….Any idea’s on how to get rid of this congestion and constant phelgm?

I wake several times per night totally colgged and can only get relief by walking around and doing some bizare deep knee bends. Sometime facial massage of the sinuses helps. I do not have any other symptoms, no pain and there is almost never anything to blow out, just swelling closed.An ENT Dr just wanted me to get a CT and Allergy testing and perhaps do some horrible rod in my nose to remove over-growth? Any ideas? I am getting very tired of not sleeping. It may help to know that I am a 49 yr old woman with no history of allergies. Thanks.

Sinusitis and allergy sufferers worldwide are finding relief through the natural practice of ‘Neti’ or the cleansing of the nasal passages using a neti pot. For those who suffer from these very common conditions, relief is often hard to find. Sinusitis disrupts sleep, makes it difficult to breath, and can be extremely painful . Many people looking for an alternative to nasal sprays, expensive pain relievers, and overused antibiotics are turning to neti nasal pots for the ultimate relief. Studies have shown that irrigating the nasal passages and cleaning the sinuses can relieve congestion and provide comfort. The use of a neti pot is an inexpensive, simple, and safe way to treat and prevent nasal congestion and sinus problems. Some people are choosing “neti” over surgery to alleviate years of painful discomfort.

I have experienced bad nasal congestion problems for the last six months or so. Nothing seems to work other than massave dosses of nasal spray and thats only tempoary relief. Iv’e tried daily allergy medication, Sinus rinses, pseudoephedrine, and perscription nasal spray. The symtoms occor very fast usually withen minutes. One minute im fine the next i cant breath through my nose at all. Any suggestions would be very helpfull

Hello. I’ve had sinus pressure, head congestion, runny nose etc, for weeks now and it’s just killing me. Ruins everything and prevents me from getting work done. I’m behind in everything because I’m always lying down with sinus headaches. It’s due to seasonal allergies, but it’s really bad this year. I haven’t felt well since early September.

A complicating factor is that I’m in the first trimester of pregnancy, so that limits what I can take for relief. My OBGYN told me that Tylenol Cold & Sinus was fine, but it doesn’t work for me. Most other OTC meds are off limits.

I feel like I’ve tried everything: decongestant, antihistamine, expectorant, steroid nasal spray, a neti pot. I am not getting any relief. The sinus is but the chest congestion has just been the past week. Not sure if I have a cold on top of allergies or what. My doctor always tells me the same thing but it doesn’t seem to help.
Not 2 B fooled- yes, but you know HMOs. I’m just looking for ideas.
