A member asked:

6wks pregnant with sinus infection. what can i do to help it go away? saline nasal spray isn't doing a thing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chicken soup...: Yeah it sounds funny but proven helpful in mobilizing mucus. Steaming in the shower with a washcloth over your face works well to open airways as well. A vaporizer at the bedside with plain water is good too. If you are running a fever and are just miserable, go see your doctor for some antibiotics.
