POLL: What is the best way to get relief from a Sinus Headache...?
I would have asked this in the health section, but i looked and no one is answering there! ;( I am taking antibiotics but i need relief for the throbbing and discomfort.

1. A warm, wet wash cloth on your head.2. Suddafed, or Tylenol cold
3. rest, drink water
4. My doctor recommended moist heat(never cold)
5. Take some medicine.. Rest and just lay around or something. OR i can come over and take care of you..
6. Hammer to the head.
7. Aside from a Black & Decker Power Drill... try taking a long hot bath to try to relieve stress !
8. One plain, regular Sudafed (you know, behind the counter, the kind they make meth out of) and two Advil. You can take both with most antibiotics, and you can call any pharmacy to double check. Hope you feel better.
9. Flush with saline solution to to hydrate.
10. As your antibiotic kicks in, it will eliminate some of the pressure. But in the meantime, take a decongestant like Sudaffed and also Tylenol or Advil. The decongestant will relieve the pressure you feel. Also, try a cool cloth or ice bag on your forehead. Try to keep your sinuses clear as best you can whether you inhale steam in a bowl or a hot shower. I also find that Vick's cream also helps by rubbing it on your neck and above your lip under the nose. One other thing you could do is use a cool mist humidfier. Hope you feel better soon.
11. Humidifier. Sleep. Saline Nasal Drops. Asprin.
