Sinus Drainage And Coughing Problem (all Year Long) Help !! Posted: 07-18-04 19:06pm
Help . . .
For many years I have had a sinus
drainage problem that last all year long.
Some days it can be worst that others.
Maybe every few months I will also get a
bad pounding sinus headache. The only way
I can get rid of it is to take about 4
tylenol and take a nap for at least an
hour.
And sometimes if I get excited and hot my
sinus will drain more down my throat
making me cough more often with a nasal
drip. I then have to go to the bathroom
to clear my throat and blow my nose a lot
to clear all this up. This happens to me
more when I get in a conversation
sometimes.
What is this sinus problem I have
called?
What over the counter drugs can I take for
this?
Thanks, mike

Para nasal sinuses are empty spaces in the
skull in the vicinity of the nasal mucus
membrane. Any discharge from the nose due
to conditions like allergic rhinitis can
finds its way into the sinuses causing an
inflammation of the lining of the spaces
leading to accumulation of discharge and
thereby the severe headache etc. This in
turn leads to the discharge from the nose
falling back into the throat called the
post nasal drip.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies to
get rid of the nasal blocking,s neezing,
nasal discharge, post nasal drip, all the
symptoms of sinusitis and see that the
recurrence is curtailed. Some of the
common remedies of great help are
pulsatilla, silicea, kali bich, kali carb,
stannum met, thuja, psorinum etc.

I had that same problem for most of my
life. I still get it now and then but a
combination of two things helped me a lot!
: 1) minimize any dairy intake. Dairy
increases mucus and can make you much more
congested. 2) see an allergist. It's
possible you have year round allergies,
even if you don't feel like you ever have
"allergy attacks" mild allergies can
produce excess mucus without producing
other symptoms. As for your headaches..
Sounds normal. Probably changes in
season combined with your sinus pressure
from the mucus bring on the headache. I
get that same drainage you are talking
about too. I believe that's normal as
well. I think you just need to focus on
getting rid of the reason that you are
congested. As for meds.. Pseudopherine
is the only good decongestant. Affrin
(which is a nose spray) is great too but
is addictive and not recommended for
common use.
