OTC Aleve Cold and Sinus D, you can tell it's working after the first pill and it is non-drowsy. I HIGHLY recommend it! :)

I picked some of this up tonight and just took a dose. I hope it relieves some of my sinus pain soon....thank you for the tip  :)

I picked up the Aleve cold and sinus this morning - it has taken a headache away.   I'll let you know in a day or two.

Have you tried the Advil cold & Sinus? It used to work for me. But like everything else, it started giving me hives.  :-\

I am using the Mucinex nasal spray and it works really good.

My doctor told me that (at least around here) they are seeing this cold/sinus string last up to about a month to be completely gone from some.  He advised me to have - in moderation - caffeine.  I guess there is something in caffeine that boosts the immune system and he says people seem to feel better for at least a little while.

Advil C&S is my old reliable standby, I need to get some. I've been doing the Dayquil/Nyquil route. After a while, those don't agree with my stomach. I'm there now.  :P

The Mucinex commercials are almost as bad as the toe fungus commercials!! But I might have to overlook their icky marketing and try some.

My husband has sinus issues a lot and swears by Tylenol Sinus Severe Congestion. Then again, Tylenol is the only otc pain reliever hes allowed to take because of his Crohns so I dont know how it is compared to the others. If you try it, he claims the regular tylenol sinus isnt as good it has to be the severe congestion one (behind the pharmacy counter of course-  **** meth heads)

I have chronic sinusitis... I was prescribed Allegra D but I don't digest the light brown part of the pill!!! That might be why it doesn't work very well for you....

But I use Sudafed... but make sure you get the one you have to get from the pharmacy if you are going to try it and not the Sudafed PE cuz that one doesn't work..... You will need your ID just like the Advil Cold & Sinus.
And I sometimes I use sinu cleanse (using a Neti pot)  - its a nasal wash.....

I tried Mucinex a few days ago and it mad me feel all sick..... nauseous feeling and made my stomach feel all weird. I still feel that way... blah.... I do not like Mucinex!!!!! (I tried the tablets)

Someone was just telling me about this Neti pot - OOOOOO I can not see my self doing that.  I hate the sensation of anything in nose, and to think of that stuff running through makes me cringe.

I know someone with fibro, and she can't take much of anything, she gets a reaction from most everything.
