Shovel to the face.
Thats how I feel right now. Ive never had a sinus attack like this before. Vice on my head and even my upper teeth hurt. Jaw and eye balls hurt too.

Thats sucks...you pick up some sudafed? Get the meth head version with the psuedofuctizine in it (the one you have to show your ID to get)
Open up the passages and then break out the netti bottle.... |

Steam and menthol, then keep a bucket handy for the amount of mucus that flows out.

I had a bad sinus infection like that a few years ago. Started out as a headache when I got to work, turned into "it hurts so bad I can't turn my head" (and I still had to drive home). Went to the doc and got some bad ass antibiotics to help knock it out. Don't remember what, if any, decongestants I was prescribed. I will say I have chronic sinus congestion, and the thing that always works well for me is the Zicam Extreme Congestion nasal spray.

Get some of the canned saline stuff and do a full rinse. Head upside down firing that stuff up each nostril until you can taste it. It's miserable for a few minutes but really makes a difference once you blow all that shit out.

Yeah, the neti pot is my friend when I have sinus issues.
Also, another vote for proper (ID & signature required) sudafed. The OTC decongestant crap that's out there might as well be sugar pills.

Don't fuck around with a sinus infection. A good friend of mine used to work at a brain injury clinic. It was full of lifetime residents that needed round-the-clock care. One patient was there because he let a sinus infection sit untreated. It spread to his brain.
