remedy or self care tip: (i chose these specifically for sinusitis just in case they can help you c:)
-flush out your sinuses (nasal irrigation): reduces mucus
-drink lots of water: it helps thin mucus, which reduces blockage in your nasal passages.
-take a steam bath or use a hot compress: this sounds disgusting, but steam can help clear out the debris in your nose, which reduces pain.

remedy or self care tip: There is a pressure point that I use all the time. Its between the thumb and forefinger in that fleshy area. It cures headaches and pains in the head/neck area in general. The affects usually last for a few hours to an hour depending on the degree of pain. I don't believe it matters which hand is used, I usually use the pressure point on my dominant hand and my left to press it. You just have to squeeze the area between the thumb and forefinger hard for about 10 seconds. When applying the pressure have your fingers positioned like you are going to pinch something. The relief should be fairly immediate, you can use the point again later if the pain comes back. ^u^

remedy or self care tip:
Mainly a self care tip that I use(don't know how useful it is tbh.. I do it though.) I read somewhere that if you press your index finger between your eyes and just above your nose while pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth it's supposed to clear out the mucus in your nostrils.
I honestly don't know how well it works but I try it out whenever my nose is runny(which is often)

remedy or self care tip:
-there's an amazing lotion at Lush called "sleepy" and it relaxes it you and makes you feel really good
-when I feel awful, I love to take a hot bath and put Epsom salt in it. It relaxes the muscles
-I love to drink green tea with honey and lemon in it to get me some caffeine and sugar
-I rub my temples and give myself head massages and that feels great <3

remedy or self care tip: What usually helps me is a warm/hot shower or bath every day, and drink lots of water. It may not be very useful, but yeah. I tend to just stick though it and wait for those things to pass, or well thats what I do with any type or pain or illness. Though I use to take this nasal spray when I was younger, I remember it really helped to clear up a stuffy nose. Maybe you could check that out at your local drugstore? Oh and some little tricks I've pick up along the way is like keeping your head elevated with you sleep, and maybe warm cloths if not shower/bathe every day?

Remedy Or Self Care Tip::

-Drink water
You get headaches when you get dehydrated and dont feel good.

-lemon ginger honey tea
Very soothing to sore thoughts and tastes amazing. Personally i find it really helps.

-lots of rest
Your body can heal better when you get enough sleep, and nobody feels good when you are extremely tired.

-Dont drink lots of milk
Milk tends to create more mucus, so when you already have a lot it sucks. Nobody likes always having your lungs gooped up.

-Take a hot shower or bath
When you relax in a hot bath, your muscles loosen up. And i have found that when i have a headache, the hot water of a shower takes away the pain.

remedy or self care tip:
To clear up your sinuses I usually use a vaporizer, vapor rub ( right under your nose and on your neck area ) or even sticking your face over a steaming water with a towel over head
And then for a yucky tummy spirte always works for me
