[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 258021, member: 1233"] Be SURE to take a decongestant and some mucinex with that benadryl!! If you just take benadryl the mucus will thicken and get very sticky and adhere to your sinuses. It can really kick an infection into high gear. the mucinex will make the mucus unable to stick and the decongestant (like sudafed) will make the mucus thinner. Benadryl will make the body produce less of it and dry the surfaces out. But if you just dry them the mucus can stick better. So be sure to use a combination/ And drink LOTS of water. Push for 1 gallon a day of non-caffeinated liquid. I had clogged sinuses and lots of ear problems in jr high. They wanted to do surgery but it didn't seem smart. The doctor said that when he was a missionary in another country they would first have patients drink as close to 1 gallon of water a day. That was actually a prescription because water was scarce where he was. After about 2 weeks of drinking I felt MUCH better. And now with any congestion I kick up the water consumption. It really helps. [/QUOTE]
