What home remedies can I use to help a very bad sinus headache?
I’ve got a sinus infection,and I’m on anti biotics. I suffered with it for almost 3 weeks before getting on the med.’s,..( I hate going to the dr.), and I guess it has gotten worse! I’ve only been taking the anti biotic for 3 days,but along with it, and before it I’ve tried Benedryl,Advil Sinus,Tylenol, nothing is taking away the pain and pressure! The pain is behind my eyes, and pressure in my head, and forhead. I’m a wife and mother, so dealing with this kind of pain has me crazy!!!!! Please help, any suggestions??????

How do you tell the difference between an eye infection caused by a sinus infection or pink eye?
Or are they one in the same?
I have a sinus infection that seems to have spread up to the eye.

Can a sinus infection really lead to meningitis?
I have been sick with what seems to be a sinus infection for a couple months. Someone I work with recently told me that having a sinus infection for too long can lead to having meningitis. Is this true?

Can a sinus infection cause your hearing to be sensitive?
Ferret Face asked:
I have a bacteria infection in my sinus cavities, and I’ve noticed the past few days that my hearing has been very sensitive. Even my own voice sounds too loud when I talking in a regular tone.

How To Recognize And Treat For Sinus Infection Symptoms?
Sinus infection symptoms affect people in two ways; over the short term, usually from a few days up to two months or more than two months in which case the person would more than likely have a chronic condition.
Symptoms Of Sinus Infection
Symptoms come in various forms. Headaches are a common symptom while facial pain and fever are others. In more severe cases, a sore throat will accompany infection while stuffiness of the nasal passages and discolored nasal drip are other tell tale signs.
It’s important to realise not all symptoms are created equal. Many times, your doctor will determine which sinuses are affected and if the symptoms are acute or in a worse case scenario, chronic.
What Is Sinus Infection?
In short, it’s the inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses. The sinuses are designed to connect the area between the nostrils and nasal passages as well as provide an insulation effect for the skull. When symptoms are present, meaning bacteria has entered the sinuses, an infected person will experience anything from headaches to facial pain.
Bacteria will breed when the sinus openings become blocked. This can be as a result of the hairs not functioning properly with mucus being retained within them.
Infection can result following respiratory illnesses such as colds and flu as well as allery conditions. Not every one is affected by it’s symptoms with the estimated number being about one person out of every eight to ten.
Treatment Options For Sinus Infection Symptoms
If symptoms persist for any length of time such as headache and sore throat then see your doctor. Reducing sinus congestion is one of the aims of treatment. Antibiotics can be prescribed and usually do the trick while a corticosteroid spray to alleviate swelling can be effective.
In more persistent and extreme cases, a referral to a specialist may be required. Chronic sufferers have reported good results following surgery. Surgery is performed to clean the sinuses and this is usually recommended for people with fungal infections.
Home Treatment For Sinus Infection Symptoms
There are several ways to treat this condition from home. Humidifiers have proven an effective relief strategy or, if you are more adventurous and your budget doesn’t allow it, then inhaling steam several times a day can provide much needed relief.
Expectorants are available over the counter in most cases and can aid in the relief of infection by thinning the mucus but prolonged use of expectorants is not encouraged. In fact, it might be wise to see a doctor first before self-prescribing yourself this medication.
For pain and inflammation, pain relief medication containing ibuprofen or aspirin can be effective. The warning is the same though; avoid prolonged use. Sinus infection symptoms are uncomfortable for those suffering from them and if in doubt about what to do or you want peace of mind, then always make an appointment to visit your medical professional.

How long to recover from a sinus infection?
I went to the doctor on Friday and she diagnosed me with a serious sinus infection and a touch of broncitis. She gave me a pack of pills and cough syrup… The cough isn’t as bad but my throat is still sore, my ears feel like they are stuffed with cotton, and my head feels swollen. It’s been four days! When should I start feeling better?
