What are your seasonal sinus pressure alleviation tips

When you say sudafed, do you mean the real sudafed with pseudoephedrine, or is it sudafed PE with phenylepherine?
Make sure you get the real pseudoephedrine.
That’s a good mention
It’s the real stuff. Shoulda bought the bigger pack

I have never had headaches like this in my entire life. My worst hangover over the last 2 decades have nothing on the last 3 days of hell.
I’ve done Sudafed, mucinex, water water water, hot shower, hot compress, Tylenol, aleve, ibuprofen.
This living organism cannot handle this amount of pain.
I’m gonna go throw up now
If you are in the US, try Allermi. It’s essentially a very diluted form of oxymetazoline (afrin). It turns out that in small doses over longer periods, you can get consistent congestion relief without the risk rebound. It’s the only thing that has ever worked for me.

I’m going to check this out too. I have Afrin but it would be nice to be able to use it more consistently
Going to the doctor tomorrow. After a bunch of reading I think I have a dry sinus infection

Thank you for your knowledge. I don’t have a footboard but if it becomes a problem, I’ll just put a chair at the foot of the bed.
I bought the real stuff. ID at the pharmacy. Got the 4 hour.
I will stay away from the brain worms. I got a saline wash for sinuses
Edit: I’ve never heard of that sore throat reliever. That’s something I want to try

Neilmed nasal rinse. Super easy and helps clean out the sinus.
The squeeze bottle is easier than the neti pot but I've never felt great about the micro plastic potential

However, one thing that you may be interested in is Sumatriptan. I don’t know your situation, but I get sinus pressure during migraines, along with color changes and field of view diminishing before onset. Migraines are a very strange beast poorly understood by science and not consistent from person to person. But a shot of sumatriptan is a miracle for those it works for if you get it in time. Like, within minutes, I feel quite strange and the symptoms slow and the headache either doesn’t come or is much less severe.
I just want to clarify that sinus headaches and migraines are completely different. I’m just saying sometimes sinus issues come with migraines. This applies only to those cases. And I suspect it can be difficult to tell which is which in some cases.

I eat spicy food, it always does the trick for me.

I have bad news for you. It's everywhere.

True, IDK maybe there is enough in the air (???) that rinsing with the plastic neti pot would be a net negative for plastic in the nose.
