IFR (she/her)I’ve been struggling with a <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/headache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#headache</a> behind my right eyebrow since Friday last week. I’ve reluctantly been taking paracetamol and/or ibuprofen with varying degrees of success ever since, it dulls the pain rather than eliminates it, and it keeps coming back and I just can’t shift it. It was crippling me earlier <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> and I don’t know why it’s taken me almost a week to suddenly think “<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sinuses</a>!” but I got there in the end and honestly, <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/pseudoephedrine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pseudoephedrine</a> might just be the best thing ever.

Inaya Shujaat عنايه شجاعت 🇳🇿I really thought it was just my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sinuses</a>, and not an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earthquake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earthquake</a> that I felt an hour ago. 😝 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EQNZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EQNZ</a>And in other news, m.nz can get absolutely fucked for blocking me, and then lying to folks who asked them about blocking me.

Rob / OGTrekkerI was one of those lucky people who never contracted COVID. I thought, wow my immune system is tough! So, halfway through our trip to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Italy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Italy</a> I started to develop <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/sinus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sinus</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/infection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infection</a>-like symptoms that later turned out to be <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID</a>. Wear a mask in crowds and enclosed spaces like trains and planes, people! 🤦‍♂️😷 Somehow it didn’t get nasty until we returned home. For the past week it’s been hell dealing with the sticky nasty <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mucus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mucus</a> clogging my <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/lungs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lungs</a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sinuses</a>. Then on Tuesday, I remembered something my dad used to do. He called it tenting. You boil a pot of water with some Vaporub or essential oil like eucalyptus, then tent yourself over it with a bath towel and inhale the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steam</a>. Like magic, I was finally able to start clearing the gunk. If you find yourself in this misery, whatever the cause, do this. It will help. I promise. 🙏🥳🎊🎉 <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SteamInhalation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SteamInhalation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Congestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congestion</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Phlegm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phlegm</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Respiratory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Respiratory</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WearAMask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WearAMask</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/healthandwellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#healthandwellness</a>

Em-squaredJust attempted some nasal drainage aka nasal douche for the first time ever. Yep just like when water goes right up for nose whilst swimming. Felt like I was renditioning myself. If it works then it might've been worth it. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sinuses</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Yuk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yuk</a>

LisaI am so full of cold 🤧 (yn Gymraeg anyone, plîs? 🙏🏻)Remarkable how these things develop so quickly, from a tiny bit of scratchy-throat just 48 hrs ago to my face now feeling like it’s in a snot-vice. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sinuses</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ColdsSuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColdsSuck</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Winter</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SnottyLisa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SnottyLisa</a>

Nadine McSpadden 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💙💚Is there some trick to using a Neti pot that I'm missing? I use distilled water and the salt packets you can buy at CVS. I pour half thru one nostril and half thru the other. And it does nothing that I can tell. My husband says it gives him so much relief, he can feel/hear his ears and sinuses popping and gunk comes out, etc. But it has never done a dang thing for me, which is frustrating bc I know it works wonders for some folks! <a href="https://postpandemicparty.org/tags/NetiPot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetiPot</a> <a href="https://postpandemicparty.org/tags/Congested" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congested</a> <a href="https://postpandemicparty.org/tags/Sick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sick</a> <a href="https://postpandemicparty.org/tags/Sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sinuses</a>

flernWhy is <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/fluticasone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fluticasone</a> applied as a nasal spray and not a <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/sinus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sinus</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/rinse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rinse</a>? Seems like most of it just falls out of your nose and even when applied correctly does not come in contact with inflamed <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/sinuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sinuses</a>. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/budesonide" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#budesonide</a> on the other hand seems to be recommended for <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/nasal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nasal</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/irrigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#irrigation</a>?
