Nicole asked:
My girlfriend was diagnosed with pneumonia about 3 days ago and now she is having terrible sinus pain on top of that. She is miserable and I am trying to make her more comfortable. Any ideas on relieving sinus pressure especially under the eyes? Thanks in advance.

P.S. she is already taking antibiotics for the pneumonia so we are pretty sure its not an infection.

The best thing to do is inhaling steam. Bring the water to rolling boil in a vessel, remove it from stove and inhale the steam safely. To be more effective add a little amount of vicks vaporub. also you can cover yourself along with the vessel with a blanket to prevent the vapours from escaping.

A hot steamy bath & just soak in it providing there is no fever. or a hot steamy shower. Hope she feels better, but thats the quickest relief I know of

Sinus Pressure
Cold compresses will reduce swelling. This can be in the form of frozen cucumbers, facecloths, etc.
Also, the absolute quickest way to reduce pressure in the sinuses is to stop blowing one’s nose.
I know this seems unbelievable.
But it’s true.
God bless.
