Sinus help

Busband · 29/01/2025 07:28

I’ve got this horrible virus that seems to be doing the rounds, aching, chills, runny nose, bad chest etc but whenever I get a hint of mucus my sinuses get all blocked up and I wake up with that awful face ache.
Any tips on how best to manage to minimise but also to clear it quickly?

Hot showers.
steaming your head old school style.
decongestants
sinus rinsing (neilmed do kits).

you’ll know you’re desperate when you try the last one. It’ll then become you go to in the future.

Sinus massage, takes 30 seconds to do and can repeat as often as you like.
If it's just not clearing at all you can get a steroid spray from a pharmacist without needing a prescription.
