Cant get a GP appt this side of 2021 Hmm so wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what i can take? Ive had this a few times previously before being pregnant but all the usual over the counter medications are a no go......

Paracetamol doesnt really seem to be doing much and I've already had a week off work

High grade Manuka honey, that's what finally got rid of my sinusitis after almost 2 months

2 months?!?! That must've been horrendous! How did you take it? In hot water? I'll try anything at this point

I went with a squirt of Vicks sinus spray, I figured it's localised and as long as it was just one squirt it'd be ok, then I could breathe again!

I took it by spoonful 3-4 times a day!

Yes I was losing the will to live I had bronchitis as well and IG got rid of it all within a week.

But you have to get the high grade purest form of Manuka, I ordered mine from amazon and it's pricy but worth it

Gosh I had this in pregnancy. Honestly felt as if I was dying at one point. It is horrendous.

I took soluable paracetamol as found that easier and I think a saline spray up my nose.

Thank you for all the ideas, my Amazon account is taking a big hit
