Neti pot or saline nasal rinse is helpful to some.

Are you sure it's not allergies? I get nasal symptoms including yellow discharge every spring, depending on where I'm living (currently Arizona), and I found that the nasal rinse helps, but they don't go away until I start taking allergy medicine.

I don't like to take medicine if I don't have to, so I start by taking Zyrtec and Flonase, plus twice daily neti pot, until it starts to become summer, and then try to wean myself off. I'm off Flonase now but still taking Zyrtec for itchy eyes and rinsing with the neti pot.

Yours might not be allergies, but I wouldn't just assume that yellow discharge means you have a sinus infection. Doctors used to say that, but now I've heard from docs that you can't tell if you have an infection just by the color of the discharge. Allergy discharge can be yellow too.

Gargling with salt water might help by killing bacteria/viruses in your throat.

I've never used this but I've bought this Xylitol nasal wash for possible future use.

How long have you been paleo? It could be Carb Flu.

I don't know where you live, but here in NE Texas, everyone has been suffering from sinus infections caused by allergies for over 2 months. I myself have been the sickest I have ever been in over 2 decades (I never ever get sick) I have a sinus/ear infection that just won't go away even after 2 rounds of antibiotics (which I hate taking). A friend of ours was actually hospitalized for it after the infection spread through his body. Mine just feels like I am drunk all the time which is very very annoying. I have to take a Zyrtec-D every day just to keep it under control. One of my friends who works at the hospital here says that the allergiests and otolarynologists (sp?) are saying they have never seen so many people with sinus infections ever. Go to the doctor and do what you can before it spreads into your body.

If it's viral, Sambucus (which is an elderberry extract as a cough syrup) does wonders. It's also sold as pills.

If it's bacterial and coconut oil hasn't taken care of it, give oregano oil a try - but be very careful as you don't want to use more than 1-2 drops 2x/day. It's very strong stuff and if you over do it, you can kill the bacteria in your gut and get a nasty Herxheimer reaction. You'd put in 1-2 drops in something else, maybe coffee or tea.

Make sure you take lots of fermented foods afterwards to rebuild gut bacteria. You'd want home made yogurt/kefir, kraut/kambucha/kimchi/pickles, the commercial stuff has some bacteria, but not enough - especially yogurts as they're not fermented for very long.

Be sure to go very low carb as this helps starve out whatever critters are attacking you. Plus things like sugar tend to shut off your immune system for hours on end.

Of course, it could be allergies. If you have a temperature, headache, or other symptoms, and you said you do, it's probably not an allergy - the yellow mucus is a sign of bacteria btw. Try oil pulls with coconut oil, and a drop of oregano oil in addition to consuming coconut oil and a drop of oregano oil in food/drink.

(Oil pull: take a tablespoon of coconut oil, let it melt in your mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes or so and gargle with it, then spit it out.)

You are actually right. Antibiotics have been discouraged for sinus infections. (They are actually useless for most sinus infections). But I came across something that actually guarantees to help with your sinuses.

Ever heard of 'The Sinus Doctor Sinus Treatment'? A its a sinus remedy that I can testify to be legit. Though it might cost u a bit, $92 is a small price to pay to beat the suffering of sinus infection. (You can read the reviews about it. . . Its legit!)

36 HOURS only and your sinuses will NEVER come back. I hope to here your testimony. (You can share this with anyone else who suffers the same.)

Good luck!

If it is a true sinus infection it wont. And the chances of it spreading are greater if it is and you ignore the fact you need antibiotics.

If it is just your sinuses being stopped up you can use over the counter sinus remedies. I alternate Tylenol and Advil. Both seem to help and alleviate my head pain.

Warm menthol vapors will also help.

If you have sinus problems the best thing you can do is have your doctor prescribe a nasal spray of their choice and use it every day. It will ward off the sinus attacks.
