oooooooow sinus pain

[misdee]

bloody cold has lft me in agony.

docs open soon, am off to see if theres anything i can take at 22 weeks pregnant.

wish me luck.

right
go and have a shower as hot as you can bear
straight after put a piece of bread in the toaster, take 3 cloves of garlic and mash them and mix with a good dollop of butter. Spread on toast and eat.

That'll clear your pipes and no mistake

i was taking you seriously til lthe garlic. even if that works, i have to go see specialist at st thomas's this afternoon, not sure people on the tube want me sweating out garlic.

it works
feck the people on the tube
it works
do it

I can sympathise. My face is killing me, I am coughing up and blowing out what can only be described as lemon and lime curd and I sound like I have a peg on my nose. And that garlic idea has made me feel sick.

Roll on the summer!

i use a neti pot, can sympathise as i have to prob have a sinus op too

well walked down there and was there within 10mins of doors opening, but asmanged to get an appointment for 9.10am, so came home for a hot shower minus the garlic on toast afterwards.

maidamess, i swear i cannot see how its possible for my nose/face to hold this much goo. i have gone through a box of tissues since yesterday afternoon.

wiash i could just take some sinutab stuff, that works well.

you probably need antibiotics and have sinusitis...you can have them while you're pregnant

It does sound like an AB job - but they usually kick in fast. Lying on a bed/sofa and hanging your head over the edge helps release the pressure sometimes. Or steam inhalation with some Olbas Oil in the hot water - but don't do as I did and dip your nose in the water and go around looking like Rudolph!

have got AB's and lovely doc perscribed paracetamol as well. the pharmacy is havign a refit atm and doing perscriptions. so couldnt get any other things for inhalation purposes.
