sinus headache?

Anyone know what's safe?  Apparently everything I have in the house isn't safe, but I can't figure out what is.  Every website I go to just tells me what's not.  Anyone have their sheet handy from the OB?  My head hurts so bad I feel sick and tylenol isn't touching it.

  • I took Tylenol and Benedryl and laid my face on a heating pad.  I also used my neti pot.  It took all day laying in bed to go away.  I talked to my doctor today about it and he just nodded and said, "yeah...that is about all you can do".

  • last year I had serious sinus issues. There is this sinus rinse called neilmed sinus rinse. I has a squeeze bottle instead of the neti pot and I couldn't live without it. It was amazing in helping relieve the pressure before and after my surgery. Plus you can use it as many times as you need.

  • I just use a neti pot morning and night and it really helps within a few days.
  • acetominophen

    sudafed (all forms)

    psuedophedrine

    benadryl (all forms)

    claritin (all forms)

    robitussin (all forms) ** just my two cents my midwife gave me almost the same list but mine said robitussin dm and I was so confused at the pharmacy so I just asked the pharmacist, and she said nothing that is going to put you to sleep ie no night time stuff, My list also says vics rubs,

    I would just ask the pharmacist and use your common sense as to wether you agree with them or not.  My head still hurts, and is so stuffy good luck

  • Thanks ladies!  I sent DH to the store and he talked to the pharmacist and she said nothing except Tylenol.  Oy.  I have a dr's appt tomorrow so I'll get a sheet then from him.  I read mixed things about sudafed and psuedophedrine so I was afraid of taking anything before talking to my dr.  Today I feel better so hopefully I won't need anything between now and then.
