How can i get rid of my constant sinus problem?

How can I get rid of my sinus problem without going to the doctor?

• I have tried a lot of medicines and went to the doctor and now I wanted to try something natural for a change.

• Answer:

  What symptoms do you have? If your nose is running all the time, try some antihistimes, if stuffed, decongestants. If you have green or yellow discharge you need an antibiotic, call the dr definitely. If it's allergy or just weather sinus, you can try different things. Zicam is a natural zinc product you can get in Walmart or drug stores that helps open up and keep open sinus passages. Cold-eeze brand zinc is good too. Silver water is very good along with saline sprays to prevent stuffiness and keep sinus infections at bay. Products like Vicks, that have menthol, even the cough drops are good for the nose and throat as well. Robitussin makes a great light menthol orange vitamin C cough drop that give you your daily dose and helps sinus too. I use those. For eyedrops, if your eyes bother you with sinus too, try the "tears" formula's, because those help moisturize the eyes and flush out pollens. Air filters help too especially if they have hepa filters, so do air conditioners. If it's allergy related, you can also keep your mattress covered in plastic and use special hypoallergenic pillow cases. Wash all bedding in hot water, take a shower before bed as that washes off pollens. Also, vacuum you mattress, you'd be surprized at all the dirt and dust that comes out, do that before you seal it. Good luck! PS I forgot, you can get a netti pot or nebulizer to use to flush the sinus cavities, netti pots cost about $8.00, Walmart and drug stores sell them. Nebulizers cost more about $30.00, I use silver water in mine.
