Hi guys!
Sorry to ask having really bad sinus pain in my face and behind my eye and given me a headache for three days. What is the best home remedies you can think of for this? Is it just steaming to help relieve the pressure or what else should I do?
Thanks

You can buy saline sprays as well which really helps me if I have those kinds of issues. You really have to 'get it up there' though.

I also find that sometimes I can hold my nose and (very) gently try and put pressure on my nostrils by blowing out that something gives a bit and relieves the pressure. Don't do it enough to pop your ears though.

Thank you I’ll take a look.... I’ve always been wary of Nasel spray as I had one to help protect from a cold and it gave me rhinitis. But I wonder is the saline to encourage moisture in the sinus to help?

The reason I chose saline spray is that it's not medicated. I have used a standard nasal spray in the past and whilst they work, I did get terrible rebound congestion. As far as I know saline is used because it's sterile, whereas normal water has the potential to cause further infection.

Try eucalyptus oil as well. A few drops in a bit bowl of steaming water can work wonders.
