My sinuses are full, they wont' drain because it's too thick, I have a massive headache, sore throat, and feel like I've been run over by a bus. Does anyone know what I can do, since a lot of meds are no-no's during pregnancy?
 
Hi I had blocked sinuses early on in pregnancy and I had to steam my face over sink of hot water and a towel over my head, if you have one of those facial saunas they work even better. It really helped but had to do it a few times a day. I took a couple of paracetamol as well.
 
Thank you - this weather change here is just killing everyone with colds!
 
my sinuses have been terrible!!! I wake up and my face hurts so bad and i can't breathe. My doctor told me regular benadryl was ok to take so sometimes when I can't breathe when I lay down to go to sleep I take that. I'm addicted to vicks on my face!
 
Im laiden with the cold just now cant be doing with it :( hope you feel better soon xx
 
Thank you - once it gets to the point where it will drain, it's always better. Its just that my sinuses are so full right now and it won't drain it's miserable!
 
Steam Inhalation has really helped me. I've done this for about 15 years :) I infuse the hot water with some vicks vapor rub before steaming. Even if my sinuses don't clear immediately I feel infinitely better. I also heat some skim milk, crush pepper , ginger and turmeric into it and drink it. Tastes terrible but so worth the instant energy. Good luck!
