What can I do now? - Allergies Message Board

I have been having sinus issues for years but this year they are constant....stuffiness, headaches, ear congestion (this is new for me). I am flying at the end of December and need some advice on what I can do now to get my sinuses in shape. Most likely I will take mucinex before I fly. I can use a saline spray, too plus take vitamin C...etc.

Would it be worth getting a neti pot? What other ideas do you have? Thanks in advance!

Bad sinus infections are difficult to knock out without the aid of antibiotics. I'd suggest a visit to the doctor.

Thanks....

I don't necessarily think I have a sinus infection, just very touchy sinuses and lots of allergies....I don't have a lot of drainage and I have days where I feel semi-ok....

Wondered what I could do to help cleanse...

This will help if your ear pressure is caused by excess wax buildup. However, if the ear pressure is sinus related, it won't.
