What home remedies can I use to help a very bad sinus headache?
I've got a sinus infection,and I'm on anti biotics. I suffered with it for almost 3 weeks before getting on the med.'s,..( I hate going to the dr.), and I guess it has gotten worse! I've only been taking the anti biotic for 3 days,but along with it, and before it I've tried Benedryl,Advil Sinus,Tylenol, nothing is taking away the pain and pressure! The pain is behind my eyes, and pressure in my head, and forhead. I'm a wife and mother, so dealing with this kind of pain has me crazy!!!!! Please help, any suggestions??????

1. Hot Tea or coffee both have antioxidants, sleep with a humidifier, or air purifier.. Dip a small towel in cold water, rinse, and apply to forehead.http://www.indianchild.com/sinus_headache_relief_remedies.htm
2. Try hot steam. Get in the shower and crank up the heat as much as you can stand it! It will help open things up and let them drain. Maybe some Vicks-vapo rub, just under your nose will help a bit. Have you tried running a Humidifier? It helps in my home. If this doesn't clear up soon, go see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. They do more than just prescribe medication. They find the root of the problem.
3. Boil some water and put it into a bowl. Put your face over the bowl and a small towel over your head to keep the steam from escaping. Breathe in the steam and it should help you. Sorry, but some sinus headaches caused by infection can last two weeks or more. You may need a stronger antibiotic- get a super one like ciprofloxacin.
4. Tylenol Sinus is the only medication that I've found to relieve the
pain of a sinus headache
you can help the infection by snorting salty water, my grandfather
was a pharmacist, and this is what he always taught us
