My DH has sinusitis - can anyone recommend some remedies until he can get an appointment with our doctor.

Oh, you live and learn!

Having been in agony for days and visiting the dentist, I was told by him that I should visit the doctor. The doctor said I had sinusitis and gave me antibiotics. Mind you, that was years ago, so perhaps they have re-defined the boundaries now (as they do).

I used to get sinusitis until I started to use Pirinase. It never lets you get to that bad a stage again once you start using it again. Sometimes having your tubes cleared out stops it happening again, it worked for FiL but not for me. Massaging the bony sides of the nose used to help a lot, coupled with the steam inhaling. But it was only Pirinase that helps keep down the sinusitis and the perennial rhinitis.
