I am going through the same thing.
I just moved from NH down here to NY and I guess I am having fall allergies.
I back off of dairy and sugar which add mucus and bind your sinuses right up.
If it is sinusis--- anti-hyst meds will work at first but then you will be headed for an infection.
I was hospitalised about 10 years ago with a mess and they wanted to operate.
I went to a holistic doc and learned how to manage it myself. When it starts I do what I first stated and may add in natural under tongue tabs to help break it up.
I have avoided a full blown infection for the past 9 years.
Warm, clear brothed soups with added garlic and ginger will help and soothe.
Making herbal teas that you add sliced ginger to will also help----------keep sipping all day long.
A warm compress across your nose and cheeks will also help things start moving and a neti pot filled with warm salt water will def get things moving and eliviate pain pronto. |
