Help me clear my sinuses!

I'm really getting desperate. I haven't been able to breathe properly in like 4 days. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to take a powerdrill to my head. I've tried the following:

Every drug in the cabniet thats even remotly related
I ate a bowl of chili with about 4oz of tabasco sauce mixed in
I chewed 8 altoids at once

Any other ideas?
 
Get some freshlittle green chillis (the hot ones) and chop up about ten of them finely and put them in your favorite chicken soup.

Tabasco, doesn't do it for me.

If that doesn't work, you're in big twouble !
 
What always helps me is Allegra D. No other medication actually seems to help. Your standard guaifenesin, now available OTC with Mucinex (I thnk), helps to really break up the respiratory congestion, etc. Both in conjunction helped me significantly.
 
For me, nothing works like ZICAM nasal spray gel. It comes in several types,
flu,cold & allergy. Its not cheep but it really works. Lasts a long time too.
Very little waste.............:sun:
 
Hold your nose and blow, at the same time, keep the air from escaping from your nose. Keep this for about 5 secs then you'll be able to breath properly through your nose for the next few secs. Repeat till you're satisfied.
 
I'll try some horseradish. I dont have any of the other things mentioned. And Cheapbidder, that does work! But for a dishearteningly short period of time.
 
Well, i took a rather large spoonful of horseradish. Not only did this do nothing productive, my stomach is extremely angry with me and for some reason, my ears burn.
 
eat some wasabi. do it. clears up my sinuses every time.


this will turn into a "let's try and see what we can get ViperMagic to snort/eat" thread soon 😛

Finger?

I always eat about 1/3rd of a Habanero. That does the trick for me. The hot chemical in peppers is a close cousin to the chemical that is in most cold medicines.

A steam will also be helpful. Put your head over boiling water.

I'd listen to Descartes. You want some kind of decongestant to get the job done.
 
Eat some real Thai food. A roast beef sandwhich with some REAL horseradish on it should help too (none of that crud with mayonaise in it).

Ofcourse it works. Would I lie to you?😉

The other thing to do is rub VICK vapor action jell all over your chest then take a long hot bath and let the stuff evaporate off. Works wonders.
