Same. It’s dreadful. That Flo bottle, eucalyptus oil antihistamines and a beanie to keep my sinuses warm is just basic winter kit at this stage.

Every light sniffle or cough I have picked up over the last couple of years has developed into a brutal sinus infection. I do not like this new chapter in my life.

Oh I should try the beanie too. Thanks.

If you find anything else that works let me know. It’s so tiring - driving me bonkers

I used to lie on my back with my chin tilted up until I felt a tiny bit of drainage/a crackle. Lie on my side with my head at a slightly weird angle to try and get the same. Press between my eyes while pushing my tongue against the roof of my mouth, then let go. Tap between my eyebrows and the spaces beside my nose (or the sides of the bridge of my nose).
Eustachian tube massage can help a little too. This one is designed for ear infections but the ear nose and throat are connected, and getting one moving can help the others drain.
I can’t handle spice but that might help if you can. Perhaps a little cayenne pepper in some hot soup.
And I had a lot of hot tea and paracetamol for the aches

I had one that lasted for literal years and still have issues. Antihistamines for a short period while using the Flo bottle or something similar can help

Oh I think I have some antihistamines somewhere… hammering the flo bottle already. Thanks!
