Previously when I had a sinus attack, I used the green Sinutabs, but of late the effectivity dropped. So I switched over to Advil CS to get rid of the sinus, and it works good.
What do you guys use should you get any sinus attack/headaches?
I have got incredibly bad sinus's - inherited this trait from my dear father.
I cant use any of the currently know sinus meds, such as Advil, Sinutab etc..
Those pills dont do much to clear the problem if anything they make it worse by hardening the mucus in your nasal cavities. For me this is the worst possible effect as i end up with pains that make my face split apart. Also seasonal problems with Sinus.
What i find works, is the daily usage of Flexinase nasal spray which takes my heyfever and any sinus issues away, obviously only with prolonged usage.
A little trick to solve a sinus ache quickly without medication is to warm up some water, add a pinch of salt and some bicarb of soda (the bicarb eats the mucus). Mix it well, take a straw and fill it with some of the solution.
Get down on the floor and place the top of your head on the floor so you are in essence standing on your head, although you dont need to stand. Put the straw in one nostril and let the fluid run out. This runs down the bridge of your nose into your upper cavity. Once filled up, stand normally and hold nose closed, shake head slightly to work fluids around, then blow softly into a tissue. This helps alot as the salt cleans infections and the bicarb unclogs..
