Drug help- sinuses

[keyslover]

I have sinus infection/ upper respiratory infection and will be taking day 3 of the z pack today.

I need to pull it together for thanksgiving at the in laws. I am prett hippy dippy natural, but I need the good stuff. The question is- what is the good stuff?
Head hurts, sinuses inflamed so my eyes and cheeks are puffy and a general feel like shit going on.

What should I take?

Can you take Sudafed? I've found that really helps me with sinus swelling/inflammation. Have you used the neti pot at all?

[sineadorebellion]

Sudafed maybe? Behind the counter show your ID kind, not the generics.

This. Don't get the generic.

Advil Cold & Sinus is my OTC miracle drug!

Don't take Sudafed. It'll make that crud in your sinuses dry up and get sticky, thereby keeping it in place. You want to loosen it up so your body can get rid of the infection. Take Mucinex!!!

Another vote for Advil Cold & Sinus.

It will get you through the day.

DH is also on day three of antibiotics. Sorry you're going through this.

Mucinex D (the go to the counter and get, not the grab and go one) and two Advil

If you need super quick congestion relief - Afrin is a miracle drug...don't take it for more than three days. Mucinex D Is also pretty good especially with controlling other symptoms apart from just congestion.

Afrin will clear you up fast. It's fine to use short term.
