Try Afrin (nose spray you can buy over the counter) and take a hot shower. It will drain your sinuses

I emphathize. For years after college, I worked in lawn care and every spring I would get a debilitating sinus infection. It had to be from one of the chemicals I was utilizing daily as now I no longer get them the same. If you suffer yearly, there is a seasonal allergy that is triggering your response to your body. Your sinuses combat the allergy by producing excess mucus and tries to flush the allergen out of your system. Your body is still around the allergen and your body still fighting it. Many of the over the counter allergy medicines such as Claritin might likely help yoou before you develop the infection from your body constantly fighting. Unless you stop, watch diet, consider dust, all pollens, pet dander and any million other possible allergies - you will need a doctors test to determine your triggers. Consider your timing and what is blooming and try to correlate if you can. Is it fall? When you turn on furnace? Before?
Headache is just from the sinusoidal cavity infection - kind of by a byproduct. You need to figure the trigger out and either eliminate it or mask it with a drug......a doctor could help you speed the process of figuring it out but I understand.......

I suspect you have nasal polyps. The polyps hang down and make it easier to get sinus infections. .You should get checked by a doctor. The polyps are easy to remove and their removal would give you very quick, permanent relief.

Get your back molars checked. Sometimes having your upper molars removed will take care of sinus headaches. I read about this the other day in a dentists office. It will require dental x-rays but getting rid of the pain might be worth it

since its only two months a year its probably a seasonal allergy. try taking clariton and flo nase a couple weeks before you think its about due. they are otc meds. taken once a day. if it is an allergy that ought to do it. continue until its normally over without meds. by starting early the stuff is in your system. will prevent it occurring or reduce it by a bunch. I get a seasonal allergy every year from mid august till we get a good killing frost. rag weed. really kicks my but without those two drugs. I start taking them about aug 1st

See a doctor!

I can relate to several posts. After surgery to correct a broken nose and open passages, I still suffered from chronic sinus infections. I went to the doctor and asked for antibiotics that target the sinus. Doctor said “these are really expense and can cause diarrhea”. I replied “I don’t care if I sh#t my pants”!, I want this to be over. Those antibiotics did the trick. Since then, I take Alervert D at the first sign of congestion.

I understand not wanting to go to the doctor, they do seem to just push pills. Nobody (well, most people) don't want to be on a pill for the rest of their life if they can make minor changes in their life instead. For plugged sinuses, like when I have a cold, my cure is hot showers and spicy foods. Spicy as in I get the hiccups, cant talk, restless legs, and snot and tears pouring down my face spicy. It works well, if only temporarily. Also, don't blow your nose too much. The pressure is typically from swollen/inflamed tissue inside your sinus cavities, they likely aren't just plugged up with snot and buggers. Every time you blow, you make the swelling worse, doing the exact opposite of what you want to accomplish. In fact, a simple pain killer like advil/tylenol also has anti-inflammatory effects and can go a long ways towards reducing swelling in your nasal cavities.

I have had sinus infection problems since a teenager and 75 now. If I don't stop it, the last 10 years it has turned into Vertigo and I will become bedridden.
Because I ignored the symptoms, three years ago the Vertigo caused me to fall and injure myself.

I have a Sinu Pluse Elite machine, my daughter purchased it for me, that is power washer doing the same thing a Nettie Pot does. The first symptom
of sinus infection, I use it evenings and mornings until I know it is under control and then maybe 3 times a week and it does the job.

You don't have to purchase the packets to mix in your Nettie Pot. The mixture is 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for a Nettie Pot
or double that for the machine as it holds two Nettie pots.

I would suggest wearing head gear that keeps the front of your head warm, down close to your eye brows, during cold weather. I have found keeping your nasal passages covered helps.

Hope this works for you. It keeps me out of the bed and off the floor.

You could be experiencing cluster headaches. I get something similar in spring and fall usually. It's usually my left nostril plugs up and it feels like someone has stuck me in the left temple with an ice pick. You can get an over the counter medication called Excedrin Migraine that has given me some relief. Zyrtec seems to help too. If it gets too bad for you, get a prescription from your doctor for Imitrex. It will kill your headache in a minute, guaranteed. I used the injectable to get the quickest relief.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

At first I thought they were cluster headaches. Believe me, I have looked into this. However, I'm 99% sure it's a sinus issue. If and when I can get my upper sinuses to drain, I go from on the floor in pain to river dancing within a minute. I do, as with everyone's suggestions on this matter, appreciate the input.

Zyrtec works for me. Clariton D also helped but zyrtec seems better. I have narrow sinuses and will not all is surgery on nose. Both meds are over the counter and need to be taken daily as in maintenance dose. Take even if you feel good. Good luck!

Also use a saline rinse while you shower, which is different from a netty pot. You mix either distilled water or bottled water into a small bottle dump in a pack of saline squeeze in the nose. Buy it in the pharmacy section

X2 on the inflammatory foods. I like to go to a good chiropractor when I get headaches. I think my headaches are a bit different than yours.
