I came down with a cold last Friday, and now it has turned into a sinus infection. I really don't want to get abx, but I would like to take something to help the symtoms at least! I can't sleep because my nose is stuffy! What can I take that is BF'ing friendly?

Also, anyone know of anything I can do/take to help the infection go away quicker? I have heard taking Echinacea can help....

It wont be fun but I have successfully cleared up a stopped uped nose from an old home remedy that my grandmother recommended to me.
Boil a pot of water, cut up an onion toss it in the water, allow water to cool slightly (don't want to get burnt) lean head over and try to breath deep (use a towel over head if necessary but be careful if you get light headed). Your nose will pour. Repeat as necessary and willing.
