Read posts and help needed for severe sinus congestion

Posted By Arsh (Arley, Al) on 02/05/2011

Hi! I've read all the posts I can find on Mucus and sinuses and I'm still in a pickle with mine.

I got a flu this past November and it was nasty. I took ACV throughout and recovered faster than anyone but my sinuses filled up with nasty mucus. I kept blowing my nose and clearing it but it comes back endlessly. On to now, this hasn't relented. I'm still waking up barely able to breathe because my sinus is FULL of hard, thick, slimy green mucus that won't go away. Most mornings, it's dry also so I can't get it to blow clear. I'm really not enjoying this, but since I have asthma already it's agitating my breathing even more and I begin to feel scared.

I have tried ACV (I have the good stuff with the mother) and I haven't seen a decline in it.

Is there anything that will just rinse it out thoroughly and pull all that nasty junk out of there? I'd be happy to go through a yucky sinus rinse if I can get rid of this once and for all.
I'll take any recommendations to heart. Thanks so much for the advice. Thank Chaos for this site! I'm so happy it exists.

I also had a flu (I think fever went to 102) and then the sinus congestion hit me. I took hot baths with a few drops of eucalyptus oil. A few months ago I had made a h2o2 spray (emptied nasal sprayer) for coughs (spray in mouth and inhale). I used it up my nose out of desperation and lo and behold the next day I could breathe through my nose and no more headaches.
