    My sinuses are constanly draining down my face for like two days now and there's so much pressure around the bridge of my nose and my eyes that it lookes like I'm constantly crying.

    I've never had this problem in my life. Any known causes or remedies?

    I need names of medication for each of those, and Amanda you know I'm not even one to take medicine. That's how bad this is.

    I'm at work looking like a junky.....great.

    Benedryl always works for me, but it makes me sleepy.

    Try claritin. It's over the counter, and non-drowsy. I think you might have to ask the pharmacist for it, though, I'm not sure.

    Sudafed works pretty okay, they have like Sudafed sinus that works pretty well. But if you don't want to take any medicine then all you can do is ride it out..

    Nasal irrigation is a personal hygiene practice which involves flooding the nasal cavity with warm saline solution. The goal of nasal irrigation is to clear out excess mucus and particulates and to moisturize the nasal cavity. Either a fluid-filled syringe or a neti pot can be used. The practice has been subjected to clinical testing and has been found to be both safe and beneficial, with no apparent side effects.

    I'll look into that though. Sounds better than medication.

    Definitely. Like I said, just about anything is better than meds. I hate those things.
