I think I have a sinus infection. I'm blowing thick, green (sometimes bloody) stuff out of my head.
![]() I'm not one to go to the doctor, EVER. I tend to think that in time these things will go away and I don't feel so bad that's it's interrupting life in any way. Not at all like when I had strep in November. |

Well, that does sound like a sinus infection. They can linger for a long, long time. Antibiotics would probably clear it up more quickly. I always wait them out because I'm anti-antibiotics
![]() My mom swears by the effectiveness saline water cleansing in warm water for sinus infections. You have to squirt the salt water into your nostrils and sinus cavities with a syringe or bulb. I tried it once, but frankly found it a bit painful. It did help clear things up though. -------------------- Tracy, George and Daniel (11/25/02)

definitely sounds like a sinus infection. How long have you had it? if its been a few weeks and things aren't getting better, then I would go in. If you can get relief with over the counter stuff, then I would just do that.
I am anti-antibiotics too, and I actually try to take as little OTC stuff as possible too. IMO it is better to let your body fight things of as naturally as possible. |

OMG I was just going to post an almost identical post! I don't have an answer.......I'm feeling terrible here and I don't want to go to the doc. I AM taking antibiotics from my last cold and I STILL got another one...BAD!! So I have no advice...but I'm sorry you're going through it too.

I'm like Rae and feeling the same way. I just talked to hubby, since we don't have ins that will cover the docs visit right now, but the antibiotic will only be about $4. I wish I could just get the antibiotic. But I really don't want to see the doctor, time wise or $$ wise. But I agree you probably and me too have a sinus infection. I have the exact same symtoms as you do.
The saline helps, you can buy a saline spray at Walmart for about $2 and spray twice in each nostril 3x day. It will help, if you want to try that for a little while before the doc. Make sure it is plain saline, the others will just mask the symtoms not help them go away. -------------------- Anne Marie Mom to Billy & Mary Beth Wife to Lee |

Yup, sounds like a sinus infection. I usually wait it out, I get them all the time. But, every now and then I get one that I can't get rid of and go to the doc.
Hope you feel better soon. ![]() -------------------- |
