Do any of you get sinus headaches from your allergies? I've had one for two days now, and just broke down and took 2 Advils. Having a sinus headache is never fun, because my head has a lot of pressure in it and feels like it's going to explode when I bend over.

try a humidifier?

I have never had one, now if you had asked "do you get terrible cramps?" I'd be all over this thread.

Cool

I went to go get my tooth check out years ago when it was growing, the dentist wound up slicing my gums open so the teeth can come out!

But now years later it's only one of the 2 wisdom teeth that are acting up making my face all swollen and what not!

Prince has a microchip implanet in all of our heads, when we think bad thoughts about him he can program a sinus headache. Nancy, think only good, shining thoughts about everything Prince. Because, remember, he is watching!

I hate sinus headaches..it can feel like your head weighs a ton and all of your teeth are going to fall out.
I used to take Advil sinus, worked some times...

I used to get loads of congestion from allergies / sinus infections, but they're pretty much held at bay by using Sterimar which is basically a sea water spray you fire up your nostrils twice a day. It keeps the whole area naturally disinfected and flushes out all the allergens.

Not cheap for sea water at £6 a can but I prefer taking it to chemical alternatives and it's the only thing I feel comfortable taking over long periods.

The pill's gonna leave a side effect that'll take another pill 2 correct, and the whole thing's leaving U feelin' less than good

OMG me and Kris are going through em right now, I feel like my head is about to go BOOOOOM!

I used to get them regularly.

I cut down on beef and dairy, (on the advice of another sinus sufferer), and I have seriously diminished the frequency and intensity of my attacks.

However, when I do get them, all I need is Tylenol Sinus. It's excellent!

BTW - when my dad was in his late 20's, he used to suffer from sinus problems. He went to a doctor, and was given a single injection (of who-knows-what) that cured him forever of sinus problems.

Thanks!

Damn org

Get a bowl of boiling water and lean over it with a towel over your head, the steam will help clear your airways. Do this for a good 10 mins.

Find some good tablets that deal with that sort of pain, I don't know what country you're in but here in Aus there's some great ones called Fexotabs that work amazingly.

Stay inside away from pollen. Don't go out if it's really windy.

I get them. My doctor prescribed my some Nasonex nasal spray. That does the trick temporarily.
