A member asked:
I think i might have a sinus infection and it's only been 2 days? anything that will help before going to the doctor to see if it goes away?

Sinusitis: You can try using a netti pot to rinse your sinuses out, make sure to use boiled or bottled water for this. You can also try an over the counter decongestant and Ibuprofen to bring down inflammation. Many times sinusitis will clear on its own. If you don't improve after a week see your doctor. Take care!
