A member asked:

What is best to take for a headache due to sinus congestion and swelling? and also what is a good method to help drain my sinusus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus congestion: Eagle, get in the habit of using a nasal saline rinse to clean out the nose. You may also want to consider seeing your doctor to see if a nasal corticosteroid spray would be in your best interest.
