Ah I see.

I’ve heard of some pressure points you can push above and below your nose which is supposed to help elevate sinus pressure but that’s like a, quick fix for five minutes of breathing type deal.

It doesn’t hurt or give you that horrible water up the nose feeling, and it really works for sinuses.

That's OK.

Tied to the fact that I also have:

A dust allergy

A post nasal drip: always swallowing runny snot

A collapsing right nostril: make me look like LaToyah Jackson (They forgot to do this in 2018)

An immune system that is a little bit prone to colds and sulphites (found in some ales and wines)

Not forgetting of course dysfunctional breathing.

I have never spent a single day since 1982, without having to blow my nose.

Is it any wonder why I know my way around the decongestant shelves and have gone through a couple of tree in my life so far (Trees=tissues).

And relax (blows nose then breathes through mouth again!)

This problem has been solved by the Scottish and some Irish...the kilt.

Seeing how oats is not labelled as a trigger for IBS, then taking boxers off is too tricky, when nature calls.

Hence kilt wearers going commando

Menthol crystals dissolved in boiling water, then cover up your head over the steam and inhale. Add eucalyptus if you have it, too.

Take an NSAI medication, like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, as they should reduce swelling.

I'd also add an antihistamine med, in case any of your congestion isn't due just to the infection.

Somewhere

Eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil or peppermint oil, a couple of drops in a bowl of hot water, towel over your head. If those fail whisky and honey.

I’ve recently had a mri scan as my sinus’s are inflamed… tried

Steam bath

Vics

Spa steam rooms (salt and some other weird stuff) until I’m about ready to pass out

Swimming

Etc etc

After seeing a professor at hospital I use over the counter

Clarinaze mometasone furoate - you can get it over the counter at Asda pharmacy

Worked for me if the other stuff doesn’t pan out buddy

Have you read my post, stating all my symptoms,? Might be of some help, as I have laid on the ironing board going in to the washing machine hatch AKA the MRI scanner. Hope it helps.
