What is the best nonpresription medicine for sinus headaches?

Question

I usually get really bad sinus headaches that also include stuffy nose but no cough or watery eyes. I have been taking guaifenex which I believe is the generic of pseudovent. Basically pure pseudophedrine. This has been very helpful but it is getting harder to find. Ive heard the government is trying to convince drug makers to stop making it because of the meth problem.

Answer 1

try this, it works for me.My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me --- my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.

you need

distilled water

sea salt

liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.

in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.

add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.

using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.

Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.

The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.

Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.

Then do it once a week for maintenance.

There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.

I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.

best wishes

Try sinus tylenol. Use ocean spray in your nose. Our home remedy is better than the ocean spray and sounds bad but it works. We take salt and put in warm water........not to much salt then pour it in the cup of our hand and snort the water up our nose. We do it 4 times a day. You would be surprised how it works. Also, take a fourth of a teaspoon of horseradish and then get in the hottest shower you can stand and it will break up all the sinus's. The last an ER doctor told us that when I worked in the ER years ago.
