Started new job on thursday and SICK as a dog! Help!
I don't know if its allergies or a bad sinus infection BUT my eyes are itchy as hell, watery, my nose is stuffed and runny. I have tried several over the counter, went to Wild Oats and bought something else...NOTHING is giving me any relief....Can't afford a doctor.

2. Ginger compress on your sinus.
Grate fresh ginger into simmering hot water. Simmer 5 minutes. Dip a washcloth into water and place on your nose and sinus. It will drain whatever is there and relieve the pain. Continue until you feel better.

4. Go to bed.
Sleep, then sleep some more and then take a nap. Come back to the lounge when you feel better.

Congrats on the new job.
