I could put that on my forehead which would make more sense. I like breathing through the hot cloth too but it cools so fast (since I'm essentially blowing on it I guess...) </p> <p>Thanks for all the advice. Going to try everything when it comes back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225909 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 09:05:27 +0000 MaryM 2225909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bed-Buddy-Sinus-Pack-Headaches/dp/B000IZA18I" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bed-Buddy-Sinus-Pack-Headaches/dp/B000IZA18I</a></p> <p>This is what I have.

I think Sinus Buster is in the same spot. For me Sinus Buster works FAST, but NasalCrom takes a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225858 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 07:20:51 +0000 Eko 2225858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a combination of putting feet in hot water with a cold pack on the neck. I also heard peppermint oil is supposed to help but the hot water/cold pack worked for me so I never tried the oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225853 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 07:09:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 2225853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@clover: @Mrs. Coral: where do you get nasalcromb? I've never heard of that. </p> <p>Update- headache is a little better this morning (it helps that c has sttn the last two nights, after waking up for a few hours the nights before). But it's been getting worse in the afternoons anyway. Going to try and get some of these remedies today. The hot cloth felt good for the few minutes it was in but no lasting change. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225851 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 06:56:30 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2225851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @clover: with the NasalCrom, which is incredibly safe and great for allergies during pregnancy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225850 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 06:54:20 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2225850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yes--temples! Don't get it too close to your eyes or they will burn. </p> <p>Feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225786 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:42:00 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2225786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant I used this..</p> <p><a href="http://www.origins.com/product/3821/11719/Bath-Body-Hair/Daily-Essentials/Sensory-Therapy/Peace-of-Mind/On-the-spot-relief/index.tmpl" rel="nofollow">http://www.origins.com/product/3821/11719/Bath-Body-Hair/Daily-Essentials/Sensory-Therapy/Peace-of-Mind/On-the-spot-relief/index.tmpl</a></p> <p>The peppermint oil in it is what really helps.. now I use essential oils a lot so I use straight peppermint for headaches. But I would only put a brand of essential oil on that I trusted, there are a lot that say "pure" and they aren't and wouldn't want to be putting that on my skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225694 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 21:41:26 +0000 Ms. RV 2225694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sipping green tea? Sometimes the steam feels really good to inhale. If you have a humidifier or vaporizer, they might be worth a try to. Last suggestion is to watch or read something that makes you cry. Sometimes forcing my nose run helps relieve the pressure and helps relax the headache too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225565 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:35:42 +0000 MaryM 2225565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done peppermint oil on the back of my neck. It works better before the headache gets super bad. </p> <p>I have a rice pack made for sinuses (it's shsped like a sleep mask and has an elastic bad so you can "wear" it while laying down), the heat and pressure do wonders. Just don't put a hot pack on your eyes (I push it up higher on my forehead when hot, only use it on my eyes if it's frozen) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225542 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:20:36 +0000 Banana330 2225542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used tiger balm/aromatherapy, When my sinus' are bad I use tiger balm on temples, forehead and around my nose. Helps a ton. Otherwise I used a herbal mix ointment in the same places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225537 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:13:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2225537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: what do you do with the peppermint oil? Dan on your temples? </p> <p>@MaryM: trying the hot towel soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225530 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:09:25 +0000 clover 2225530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol and Nasalcrom nasal spray (both category B) helped me last time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225525 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:02:45 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2225525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Sinus Buster...it's a nasal spray with capsacin (same as hot peppers). Not only did it clear out my sinuses, but my headaches too. Other ideas are Head On or peppermint oil.</p> <p>Good luck! I had a sinus infection for 10 weeks while pregnant...I feel your pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225518 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:59:24 +0000 MaryM 2225518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A heat pack on the forehead sometimes helps me. We've been having lots of stormy weather and the pressure is killing my head too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-for-sinus-headaches-while-pregnant#post-2225513 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:54:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2225513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a headache on and off since Sunday. It's awful. I've had a little bit of luck with Tylenol but don't really want to be taking it so much. Taking it with a bit of caffeine again helps a little, but only enough to take the edge off. Neti pot hasn't helped. I've pack on the back of my next hasn't helped. I think I'm drinking enough water though am still making an effort to drink more. </p> <p>I'm pretty sure it's sinuses- I've always gotten bad sinus headaches but Advil and sudafed plus laying in a dark room usually did the trick. </p> <p>Please help. What else can I do or take? In going to try the midwife tomorrow as well but if anyone has some remedies I would really appreciate it! </p>
