What is the best way to releive sinus pressure?


I've tried afrin and zicam, but you can only use them for 3 days. And Somtimes I take sudafed and tylonel sinus but you can't use those all the time either. Every morning I wake up with sinus pressure probably due to allerigies, does anybody know how i can get releif for this once and for all ? thanks.
----------

To relieve the sinus pain, start with a hot wash cloth on the face and eyes. Repeat a few times that will help until the next procedure is completed.You can buy a saline solution spray bottle at the Pharmacy along with Nasonex. Nasonex is a nasal spray used once a day, preferable in the morning when you wake.
This medication works and is worth the trip to the doctor for the prescription. First part you clean out the nasal cavity using the saline then use nasonex only two pumps on each side. Stop smoking if you are a smoker, and stay out of smoke filled areas. Take your allergy medicine every morning. Never consider surgery, the infections come back and it is very painful.There is no quick or permanent fix for this recurring infection.  (+ info)

How can I relieve sinus pressure in my ears?


I was diagnosed with pneumonia on Saturday and a sinus infection on Monday. I have been taking antibiotics, steroids, decongestants, nasal spray, and have been sleeping with a cool mist humidifier in my room. I can't hear out of my right ear from sinus pressure (it's been like this since Monday.) I've tried hot showers, hot washcloth over my ear, and decongestants yet the pressure is still unbearable. Any other ideas on how I can relieve this sinus pressure in my ears?

Boy, you must be miserable. I'm sorry to hear you're so ill. You're doing everything right, you're just going to have to wait it out. Not what you wanted to hear, I know, so I'm sorry about that.  (+ info)

Lateral release dies it work and how much would it cost if private?


I am a 21 year old currently on the waiting list for a lateral release i am in agony and struggling to sleep. I work in an office and sit at a desk all day which really doesnt help. Does anyone have any idea how much it would be to go private? And does anyone have any advice on wat might help me at the moment?
----------

By lateral release I am assuming you mean you have a knee problem?
There are more conservative options as this treatment is the end of the line. If you found an osteopath or physio that specialises in knees you may do better and it is much cheaper than orthopaedic surgeons if you are paying privately. In terms of cost for the procedure it depends which hospital you use and how much rehab you need afterwards but probably more than £5k and less than £20k

These tracking problems can be painful but can be managed effectively if they are not too severe and while the procedure does work it was often overused in the past.
Short term measures (other than osteopaths or physios) are ice and medication which i imagine you have tried already.   (+ info)

What is the best way to get over a sinus infection?


I have strep and a sinus infection/cold right now and I would love to have some advice as to what to do to help cure the sinus infection without getting medicine perscribed from a doctor as I already have some for the strep. If anyone could give me some advice that would be lovely, thank you.
----------

Go to the Pharmacy and in the cold remedies, look for a product called Simply Saline.

Go home, and get an old towel ready. Lay down on the sofa or bed, with your head tipped back over the edge. Gently drip some of the saline into your nose. It will collect in your sinuses and start to feel heavy. Let it sit for a bit, then sit up and BLOW. Repeat this a few times.

The saline will loosen the buildup in your sinuses and allow it to drain. I'd repeat the treatment 3 or 4 times a day, but you should feel improvement within a day. (You may feel a bit more stuffed immediately following, but as soon as you start draining, you'll know it!)  (+ info)

What should I do with a 4 week old sinus infection?


4 weeks ago, I had a cold which caused a sinus infection. I went to the doctor and was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days. The symptoms mostly went away (not completely) however, over the last three days, I've experienced a resurgence of symptoms. I am not in much pain and would prefer not to go back to the doctor and receive more antibiotics. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting over sinus infections without antibiotics? Or should I just suck it up and go to the doctor?
----------

try steam inhalation twice daily for one weak.inhalation could be with vicks ,tincture benjoin or Simply plain water.  (+ info)

What kind of doctor specializes in sinus & breathing problems?


I am 16, and I've had sinus and breathing problems for quite some time now.

My mom just got us good health insurance, so she wants to take me to a specialist, but we have no idea who specializes in that kind of thing?

What are they called?
----------

You need a pediatric respirologist. They can usually be found in hospitals running clinics. Search "pediatric respirologist" at your local hospital.

ENTs can be good, but they tend to specialize more in masses and tumours and things that can be surgically removed.

By the way, before you can see a specialist, you usually need a referral letter from a GP or your family doctor or at least a walk in clinic. Also, when you do that, the GP can direct you to the right specialist, AND give you their address/phone/name etc.  (+ info)

What is the main cuase of ischemia and how is it linked to myocardial infarction, along with thrombosis.?


Also with atheroma.

Im cofnused with the following terms and how they relate to cuasing myocardial infarction:
1)ischemia
2)thrombosis
3)atheroma
----------

The buildup of atheroma or fatty plaque in the wall of the coronary artery narrows the lumen of the artery resulting in ischemia or inadequate blood flow to the heart. The atheroma may ulcerate releasing materials that cause blood to clot on the surface of the plaque. As the clot enlarges it totally obstructs the artery causing a myocardial infarction or death of cardiac tissue downstream to the obstruction.  (+ info)
