I Need a Medicine Man

So... Does anyone have any home remedies for a sinus infection? Besides that weird Neddie pot or whatever it is called because Sarah used one of those and acted like a blow torch was shoved up her nose and turned on full blast. And can someone answer me why your teeth feel like you have been chewing on rocks all day when you have one? The doctor was trying to explain it to me but my eardrums felt like they were going to burst so I was cupping my hands over my ears to silence all noise. They come on so sneakily too, one minute I was saying that my cheekbone felt bruised and the next minute I feel like a giant salami hit me in the face. I have had surgery TWICE before to fix this but apparently my nose is setting wrong? And having it done again is definitely not an option for me at this time. Or ever again for that matter. I would rather be forced to watch an entire program of the Wiggles than go through those five days of darkness so help me out. Oh and I would also like to fix it so that I don't need to return to the doctor to have this happen again...
Look closely... did you notice what is wrong with this picture. Yes, me and that man had the same shoes. But on a happier note, meet Chalese, my new office pet.

Haha...Stephanie...that was funny! I thought the same thing until I looked twice :)

So, I don't get sinus infections often. But, when I do I think it would be better if a baseball bat had contact with my face instead. Anytime there is any kind of congestion, I eat garlic. Sounds nasty, but it works. Eat whole garlic, 1-2 cloves and guzzle down some OJ after to help with the burn...lol. Also, Hot lemon water helps as well, as often as you can. The biggest thing is just getting your sinuses to release all the junk...hope you feel better!
