Grumpy. I think I've had a sinus infection for the past few days. One or twice an hour I have to blow my nose, and I blow a ton of mucus out. Sinuses are all stuffed up, can't hear very well.
I'm noticing today that my left nostril feels like its at least partially blocked; I can't really inhale through it.
Which sucks because my right nostril is already fairly blocked by nasal polyps.
So, basically, the whole breathing is getting harder and harder.
@SteppinRazor Ugh!! Do all things (take Mucinex, steam yourself, etc.) and I hope you feel better soon!! Sinus infections are exhausting.
@SteppinRazor Ack!! It’s time for antibiotics. Are you using distilled water in the neti pot? Tap water will make it worse.
@LindaGoodliffe Yep, distilled water.
I can't get antibiotics until I go to urgent care, which won't be open until Tuesday.
@SteppinRazor Ugh. Something else you can do is to bring a pot of water to a simmer, drop several drops of eucalyptus and rosemary oil in the water, put your face over the pot and breathe in that steam with the essential oils. The eucalyptus will gently open you up, and the rosemary oil has antibiotic properties.
@LindaGoodliffe I've been taking neti pot sinus rinses several time a day, and taking generic version Tylenol Sinus Severe as well. Doesn't seem to do much.
I'm trying whisky now.
