Sinus congestion?!
Question: i have had sinus congestion for a little over a week now since here in NC its starting to get warm (currently 60). i havent gotten sinus problems in the past years so this is kinda odd. its really odd when im sitting down slunched over i get stuffed up (usually just 1 nostral), when im laying down like to sleep i get really stuffed up (both nostrals), but whenever i stand up almost imediatley my problems can go away and im perfectly fine. also if im sitting reall straight in my chair im still a bit congested but not nearly as much. so what is this a sinus infection or is this just normal sinuses? how can i cure it meds, home remedies or just let time take its coarse? thanks ahead for all help given.
ps: when i am congested if i blow my nose it just imediatley gets more back in my nose so i cant get it out w/o standing.

get an over the counter decongestant like Sudafed and drinks lots of water. If you don't feel it's clearing up in a few days, see a doctor.
Go to the doc. and get clarinex D. It help me alot. or you can go to the store and get claratin D. Using vicks on your nose at nite helps too.
Hi, I have been suffering sinus congestion at night for the last two month and nothing over the counter or that the doc gave me seemed to work, what did work is a Nettie pot, I have attached a web site below that will explain what it is and what it does, I use this in the evening and then put a small amount of Vaseline on a q tip and put it in my nostrils to keep them from drying out to much. Good luck!!!
