Sinus Infection Pressure-What Can I Take?

[treehugginhippie]

I started with a cold/flu on Sunday but it has turned into a sinus infection earlier this week (Tue I think). I've been doing all I can for healing the sinus infection: emergen-c, neti pot w/ collodial siliver & GSE in it, homeopathics, no dariy, probiotics and anti plaque tonic/master cleanse tonic.

I feel ok now if I could just get a handle on the sinus headache I have. I have a throbbing headache in my jaw and the back of my head. Last night I tried a steamy pot w/ eucalyptus EO in it and massage. It didn't help at all. I even got a good full night's sleep last night (in which I was hoping I'd feel better today, but alas I'm not ) and I'm still the same.

So, is there something more natural I can take that I can get at Whole Foods or healthfood store that will specifically help w/ the sinus headache/pressure that works? Or I'll even consider something over the counter too as I'm really desperate to relief myself of this pain. And it needs to be safe while breastfeeding.

Thank you in advance!

Same thing happened to me after the flu. I did a post on my blog with everything I did to get rid of it (sounds like you're on most of it already!)

And took ibuprofin for the pain. The pain was INTENSE. I hope you get relief asap!

I am no authority on this, but using colloidal silver and GSE in your sinuses sounds like it could cause pain, imo.
Maybe just try using salt water for a while?
Maybe some calming chamomile tea to help you relax. Hope you feel better soon.

Well, I finally broke down after I posted and took ibuprofin. I also had dh get olive leaf nasal spray and capsules by Seagate (which I read about on here for sinus infections). I don't know which one did it but after I woke up from a 2 hr nap (thank you dh!)...my debilitating sinus headache was GONE!! I kept taking the olive leaf capsules and spray and today I think it's on it's way out Thank you everyone for the replies
