Do you always need a prescription if you have sinus pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Sinus ": No, there are a number of over the counter meds that you could try. You could use an antihistamine if your rpredominant symptom is sneezing and. Drainage if nasal congestion is the biggest problem, a decongestant like sudafed can be used. Decongestants will run up the blood pressure though. Pain relievers can be used for headache only.

What would be a similar OTC medicine to Actifed and Sudafed that is effective. Those require a prescription now. Have Dimetaoo which helps a little, Mucinex made the sinus congestion worse with less drainage. Does heating pad, steam help much.
