Question:
Sinus Infection? Home remedies to get rid of the infection?

Don't want to go to the doctor just yet.

Answer: If it's really an infection, then you need anti-biotics. But you may have just sinus blockage. One-time use of something like Afrin will open your sinuses up temporarily. One of the best things on the market today is Mucinex or Mucinex-D. It thins out the mucus and allows drainage and help in clearing up the blockage. Home remedies for more comfort: Hot tea, hot lemonade, holding a towel over some hot water and breathing in, hot shower. You want to look into identifying any allergies, as they will often precede and trigger the sinus problems. How can you tell if you have an infection? You can try to use sudafed or something similar to ease the congestion. If that doesn't work then you have an infection and need some antibiotics or something from the doctor.
