Sinus Infection Home Remedy (Doctor Secrets)

[@Happylilsis]

My mom, who would have turned 99 this year, would not take me to the doctor when we had cold symptoms. She said all they want to do is give you an antibiotic and if you take antibiotics for something like a cold then when you really need it for something serious, it won’t work! She also said we needed get over things on our own to build immunity.

What timing! My fever broke at 6:30 this morning, and I feel good after only two days of what seemed sinus-y. Here is what I did: Let my fever do its job; took a couple of very hot, longish showers to loosen things up and help blow and cough it out; used a eucalyptus shower spray; ate very little; drank hot unsweetened elderberry and echinacea teas with lemon; garbled with warm salt water; sucked on zinc lozenges; asked for prayer; and RESTED!

Finally, a doctor that advises us to 'listen to our body'

[@thabilsterone]

Israeli doctors in the 1980s discovered that the rhinovirus dies when heated to 102°. To eliminate a viral sinus infection break out your hair dryer put it under your nose and breathe the warm air for like 5 to 10 minutes as long as you feel it's necessary and do this a couple of times during the day. I have told friends about this and use it on myself and within a few hours maybe 10 hours or less you will notice that your nose clears up, it's not running anymore, that's because the hot air from the hair dryer has killed the virus that's in your nose. The nose is running because the body is trying to flush the virus out. This is real, it always works and that's the truth. Dr Berry is the best but I wanted him to know about this.

Since a debilitating adverse reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotics 12 years ago, my go-to is oregano oil capsules, Olive leaf extract capsules, and sometimes echinacea and goldenseal, and flushing with a neti pot. Helps EVERY time I have any sinus issues and/or swollen nodes in my neck.

[@Pamsmith59]

I, too, won't use fluoroquinolones again. For me it was Levaquin, which had been prescribed for a sinus infection. It was like using an atom bomb to kill an ant. For me, I felt symptoms of psychosis by the 2nd pill. UGH.

I started taking Oregoresp and Olive leaf extract along with a digestive emzyme each night around 1 am when I wake up to urinate. My MD told me it works best 2 hours after and 2 hours before food to be used best by body. It changed my life. I also use a netti pot daily in winter or when I am around lots of people during a day.

[@gigics6695]

Amen … my go to as well. Unfortunately, I am very prone to bacterial sinus infections but the oil of oregano drops as well as nasal spray plus olive leaf are all antiviral/antibiotic/ as well as anti fungal. Sometimes they fully take care of my frequent sinus infections by themselves. If I still develop a full blown bacterial infection, they continue helping and I continue taking them along with antibiotic. But having taken SO many antibiotics, my gut microbiome has been severely compromised. I always try my very best to avoid the antibiotics because of my severe reactions to the antibiotics if at all possible!

So, we are concentrating on the food itself; grass-fed and finished beef and pasture raised bacon from a very local E TN farm. We'll deal with the time issues as we go. A tide-us-over anytime of day cup of homemade broth from said meat will be added to our daily intake for those critical care getting our butts kicked events.

I’m sorry, but either you have not experienced it, or prefer not to bring it up for some other reason, but you’ve not mentioned the one thing that has helped life-long (and in 73 years, I’ve had a lot of head colds and sinus infections) and even today. This time-honored method is the Steam Tent. Find your biggest mixing bowl and a large (but not thick or cumbersome) towel. It must be almost bath sized to cover head and neck. Then you need an old fashioned kettle full of water. Boil the water. If you have no kettle, use a large pot. Pour enough to fill your mixing bowl about 2” short of the rim. Carry the bowl to your kitchen table; the towel should be already spread out on the back of the chair. A second towel set under the bowl would not come amiss. Make sure any pets or small children are out of the way for 15-20 minutes-scalding water is potentially risky! By “out of the way”, I mean baby in crib, toddler in play pen, dogs or other pets in another room, ideally another adult to supervise. Pull the towel over your head. Center your face over the water. Tuck towel under chin so neck skin won’t get too hot. Now this is important: hold the towel open a little at first, to let in some cooler air, until you get used to breathing steam. It will be hot, maybe even painful to breathe at first. Breathe in through your nose, and back out also through your nose. Alternate with breathing in through open mouth, deep into chest. As air cools down, close the towel and breathe the steamy air slowly and deeply in and out. It’s peaceful-like a meditation. After 15 minutes you will have the most benefit and can stop. Push your damp hair away from your face, dry your face with the towel. Your eyelids will probably be a little red and tender. This will pass. Carefully get up, steady yourself, and dump the still-very-hot water in the sink. Phew! The steam shrinks swollen nasal passages. You might need to blow your nose a lot afterwards, or even during. It should help a lot with clearing your head. If one side is stopped up, breathe through the side that works. Very good to do in the morning if your sinuses are aching. Also very good before bed. It can stimulate a real cleanout, so have plenty of tissues handy. My great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother used it on me at a VERY young age. It was frightening. But once a child is old and self-controlled enough to cooperate, it can be used on children, but only under strict supervision, and only for 5-10 minutes. One of the most soothing and comforting things to do in case of sickness. NOT FOR CHAOTIC HOUSEHOLDS. In must be done very controlled. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes. Sit down and pull your chair close. In December 2023, I had Covid for the first time. My doctor prescribed a lot of medications but I never took them. It manifested first as a sore throat, then a severe sinus infection-symptoms lasted 2 weeks. In that time I used the steam tent 8 times, and that’s what ultimately defeated the sinus infection. I should have done it every day but I was just so weak and exhausted. It was really enough.

I make a powder snuff out of cayenne, Golden seal, and Barberry and just a minute few grains in the end of a swap snorted up the nose and it is instant relief from the headache, and begins to greatly help with nasal airflow. Yes it is quite intense but it goes away quickly and gets easier to adjust the amount up a little or down so you aren't quite so surprised when you use it a second time. The cayenne is a dialator and Antihistamine, the Barberry acts as an anti-viral and the golden seal is a neutralizer of toxins. If you have a sinus headache Just a few grains in the end of a swab the size of 2 or 3 periods from an ink pen will instantly give relief. Repeat as needed to give you the relief sought for. I also use it when I feel the first symptoms of a virus colonizing on the back of my palate and and sinus.

I literary just got done with a major sinus and lung infection and you're exactly right. The three things that I needed most were rest, water, and electrolytes. You need the rest! Don't over exert yourself and you will lose a lot of water to mucus and whatever else your body does and my heart was working harder too so absolutely get some electrolytes; this helped a lot. Some sunlight and nice music or anything you can do to be as stress free as possible makes it more bearable and mind your posture because you'll notice it get harder to breathe with bad posture.

Thank you Dr. Berry. I’m going through a sinus infection currently. Agree 100% on toughing it out. I found the sinus rinse each morning in a hot shower to help ease the symptoms and provide instant relief as my body fights the good fight. Eating right since November 2018 (thanks to you!!). 👍

[@RachelAlbert-r8c]

I agree with most of you say. But fungal sinusitis is a real thing. After years of suffering my spouse was finally better after Diflucan and Nystatin tx (both anti-fungals) for a month. After years of suffering, it finally was gone for good. The fungal infection was caused by a doctor who carelessly prescribed antibiotics. Not all docs are good like Dr. Ken Berry!

[@treasuresabound0062]

How was the fungal infection diagnosed as fungal please?

[@smokescreen2146]

Was there nasal discharge or completely dry?

[@Aliciaskinsecret]

I know lots of people that get fungal sinus issues. We gargle with anti fungal essential oils and make sprays they work immediately. I fully agree on the antifungals. We have used them before and they were immediately as well like by the end of the day to the next day your symptoms are cut in half

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

​@@treasuresabound0062 very easy, collect a fresh sample, (mucus sample) send it to a laboratory where it is examined for signs of fungi. Or if your doctor is in a hospital with a good microscope, take a look. There are also tests that take 48 hours to look for growth of the infection. With all viral and bacterial infections a simple test should be performed. Personally I don't agree 95% are viral. Many cases of strep throat (bacterial), then expand into a bacterial sinus infection. Herpes type infections (viral) of the mouth or throat lead to sinus infections which need to be treated with antiviral medications. Even an infected tooth, gums (very common), can lead to a sinus infection, which requires antibiotics.

I got them chronically 20 years ago and got fed up with the side effects from OTC products. The engineer training was applied to find a way out. So starting with my mom's wives tail, Vit A & D dries up sinuses. Oh, but wait, experts say too much A can be toxic, oh no! What about precursors? Up pops beta carotene, let your body make whatever A it needs. Then the nurses study pops up! Beta Carotene less than 50mg dose increases lung cancer, and I'm a smoker! Hmmmm, looking, looking, another study. Greater than 50mg decreases all cancers! Thank you! So, what I did was any time I was stuffed I took 60 MG, 100,000iu. No side effects from beta carotene so if sinuses still not free take another dose every half hour or so. Usually only takes 2, or 3 doses max to be dried up. Been working for 20 years! Just a few years ago I found a hypothesis for A toxicity. E, A, D, C are synergistic in that order so as long as you have your D, and C up, no problem taking A! Good news since removing 99% of carbs a week ago, I haven't needed to take any beta, and sleeping like a baby too! So, if it help someone else, no harm! If it's a nothing burger, than maybe just the way my body works. Still worth a try! Thanks for your info, and hope maybe mine helps someone too!

Funny you put this out when I'm dealing with sinus or what I thought was an infection. I've had bad ones over the years but not for a while now. I've hardly suffered from anything since going keto. But a week ago woke to intense pain in my sinus on the right side. Just as it has always been. Thing was there wasn't the swelling or nasal blockage as usual. What I found was a muscle or nerve starting at the base of my neck and running up to the base of my skull on the right side very tight and very sore. It continued around the side above my ear to my temple where is was intensely sore there as well. A hot shower and plenty of massaging finally eased the pain. Continued care given to my neck in the form of taking it easy and taking care how I have slept on it has almost gotten it straightened out. Pretty crazy. Absolutely the exact symptoms and pain of an infection but wasn't at all. Thank you Lord for helping me figure that one out!

Dr. Berry, with all due respect, a few comments: I have suffered from sinus infections for 25 years. I avoid taking antibiotics at all costs. It's funny, when I end up throwing in the towel and going to the doctor, I jokingly say that I am going to be your first patient who asks you NOT to prescribe me an antibiotic. What else can I do? Point is, I try avoiding them. However with that said, if I do end up taking one, my sinus infection is knocked out within 2 days. I am currently fighting another sinus infection, taking herbs and using a neti pot. I'm actually using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) b/c again, I avoid antibiotics. I'm on about day 8 and no improvement. You repeatedly said 95-97% are viral. How do you know that? There are MANY people like me that get recurrent sinus infections. The one common denominator that we have all discovered is that doctors don't have an answer as to why. I'm healthy (according to my labs), workout all the time, eat very clean/healthy, limited alcohol, no tobacco. I've always lived a very healthy lifestyle. My achilles heel has always been my sinuses. I've had sinus surgery twice, cat scans, x-rays, etc. No one can give me an answer. I was hoping your video would provide some insight, but again I am disappointed. To tell people that 95-97% of the time they will just go away, well that is simply not true.

I am uncertain if I have a sinus infection. This intermittent problem has persisted for several years. I detect a sweet, burnt odor. I do not experience headaches or sinus pressure; however, sometimes the smell seems to emanate from my eyes, which I realize may sound unusual. When the smell intensifies, it becomes quite overwhelming and nauseating. I have been rinsing my sinuses daily, hoping for improvement. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints and a lack of insurance, a doctor's visit is currently impossible. Several years ago, when I had insurance and this first began, I consulted my physician, but she dismissed my concerns. At that time, I detected various odors, including smoke and peaches, in addition to the burnt, sweet smell. Now, the burnt, sweet smell is the most prominent symptom. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
