I thought I’d handle it well, considering this is the third time I’ve caught covid, but I’m so frustrated. My sinuses are exploding, I can’t seem to get enough water into me, my nose is swollen shut but still runny.
I just want to sleep, but I can’t sleep without breathing through my nose.
Argh… I’m sorry. Can you have a clear soup with a little cayenne pepper to unblock?
When I had a really bad sinus infection I found it helped the pain and drainage to gently tap above my eyebrows and either side of my nose. Lying on my back with my head slightly tipped back helped drain too.
Raising my head more with pillows made sleeping and breathing more comfortable

Psuedoephedrine helps greatly with runny nose and stuffy sinuses, but you have to ask for it at the chemist counter and show id.
