Damn you, sinus infection! To paraphrase, I'm gettin' too old for this ****!

How am I supposed to properly enjoy my world cup watching if I'm laying around blowing my nose and falling asleep? I might miss shouting GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL once or twice! ;)

Drink more water.
Use a saline nose spray as often as you can.
I take a heating pad, put it on my forehead and cheeks (so I can breath through my mouth) and either sit or lay down (with face toward the ground) for 20 minutes.
Good luck. It seems like everyone has it here.

Heh. I'm still awake, peeing every fifteen minutes. Suffice to say I have been all over the "plenty of water" thing.

I don't usually get headaches from these - it just makes it so I can't get any air through my nose so every morning I wake up and my throat is sore as hell from being all dried out - usually takes all day to get it back to normal.

At least, that was the case this morning - tomorrow will be much better - I found PG's Afrin. That'll keep my nose open till I wake up, then I can steam my head out with a hot shower and tea.

Oh, and now Blacula is on TVOne, if anyone cares.

Don't OD on Afrin. Follow label directions, for three days max.
I can promise you that the rebound headache is murder.
And using someone else's nasal spray is gross.

The heatingpad will help decrease the swelling and open you up. Sometimes.

You live in beer. There's your answer.

I've had a sinus infection for years.

I cleaned the tip of the nasal spray thing with alcohol before using - I'll do the same if and when I return it. Oh, and I know the dangers of Afrin - that's why I only use one spray in one nostril at a time - just enough to breathe.

If that doesn't work, call Miss Cleo...she knows everything.
Good luck. It seems like everyone has it here.

Fixed.

Actually this is the first time I've been sick in quite a while. It's probably been about a year since my last sinus infection.

bump...this thread is currently relevant for me.


Sinus infection + cold = MEGA SUCC

I need some 'Tussin. Nice time for hit to hit. Over the weekend. When the doc's office is closed. It sucks when you sneeze and get snot caked in your arm hair.

Yeah, it's also bad when you wake in the middle of the night and go, "Dude, I'm slobbering all over myself. No wait...that's snot running out of my nose and down my face."

Dear Inventor of Vicks' Vapor Rub,

I heart you. I really do. If you were here right now, I'd give you a great big ol' man hug. Your wonderful concoction has temporarily restored my ability to breathe through my nose. That new "greaseless cream" stuff is so much better than that original, Carmex type stuff.

Again, thanks...a bunch.
