Does anyone know any ways to try and get rid of it? Ive tried albus (sp) oil, and it hasnt worked. I was on anti-biotics from the doctors, they cleared my nose up a bit but not my head&ears. I need to go back but cant for a week or so, thas why im asking. Thanks :)

    :yes:

    decongestants work a treat. also try sitting with your head over a bowl of boiling water - the steam can loosen everything up a bit. this might work better for the sinuses above your nose, though.

    aye... i'm reluctant to try it myself cos i'm on Nasonex from the doc...

    failing that, if it's recurring you can have your sinuses cauterised or drainage holes widened...

    I have to second Kaffrin. Bowl of hot water, towel, stir in some vix goo. Works like a charm.

    Awww... me heart goes out to ya. I had the worst case of that over christmas and I just felt like shite. Couldn't even get out of bed, unless I had to use the loo.

    Do get yourself sudafed; cause that does make a difference and unfortunately need to let the rest work it's course. :(

    Decongestant can make things much worse if used long term!!

    Are you allergic to the droppings of house dust mites?

    If so then you need to vaccum your bedroom regulary and also wash the bed sheets at a high temp to kill the sods!!

    There is also a spray you can get from boots to spray on carpets and curtuins
