Home Remedies For Sinus Congestion And Pressure

Sinus/allergy advice… 5 1/2 months pregnant?

I had the flu really really bad about 3 weeks ago. I was put on antibiotics and all sorts of stuff I wasn’t crazy about taking since I’m pregnant (cough syrup with codeine). Well last week I got sick again with a sore throat and head congestion. My sore throat went away after a day but I can not clear my head out. My nose is constantly stuffed up, especially when I try to sleep, and just yesterday and today my ears have started to have a lot of perssure behind them. I’m not really in any pain, but the pressure behind my ears is really really uncomfortable and getting worse. I don’t want to go back to the doc because I don’t want to take any more medicines. Are there any over the counter/home remedies that are safe for me that will help clear my nose and relieve the pressure behind my ears?
I have tried the sinus rinse where you shoot the salt water up your nose and let it drain out your other orafices… didn’t do anything.

Were you doing the sinus rinse correctly? Also if you are really stuffed up it take AWHILE to break it down.

The first few times I did this it just dripped back out of my nose. This was because my Sinuses were so clogged. But after a few days I felt it go down the back of my throat some which made me gag. After awhile I had a lot more pain in my face and around my sinuses. This was because all the stuff was loosening up & finally started coming out. The stuff what came out was pretty gross. My nose would bleed and some clots came out too. But I felt a lot better so I knew it was working.

I’ve now been using this method for almost 3yrs now and I’ve gone from 8-10 Sinus Infections a year to just 1-2 a year.

I also had them while preg. with my 3 kids. I think I was told to take Tylonal Sinus. This was BEFORE I did the sinus rinse. So ask your dr. if you can use the Tylonal Sinus.
