There are various ways that you can choose to unclog or decongest your sinuses, some of which you have to purchase others you can try at home. Some self help techniques:

You can take a bowl of water and place your face above it with a towel over you. In this way you inhale warm air which helps to loosen trapped mucous.

Taking a hot shower will also work in a similar way to the bowl tip.

You can also drink plenty of water as this will help thin your mucous allowing it to flow correctly.

You can also rinse your sinuses out with a saline solution (mixture of water and salt). You inhale saltwater through the nose and then blow it out. This method is a bit uncomfortable though and you should make sure there are no preservatives in this mixture. Products you can try:There are a variety of products available on the market that can help decongest your sinuses.

You can try using some nasal sprays- these often are the quickest but may not give you the long-term relief you sick. There are also side effects with many of these products, such as drowsiness. Example: Nasonex

Natural homeopathic remedies. The use of these types of products has been on the increase and there have been many positive remarks about such products. Products designed to treat both the symptoms and their cause. The positive is that they have no side effects. Then there is also the Neti Pot which works in a similar way to a nasal rinse. It cleans out the sinuses and can decongest your sinuses as well. You can also eat spicy food. It helps but probably won't work as well as the above methods.

How do you unclog one side of your sinuses so you can breathe?

You can do a saline nasal wash (Google for directions), or just use a saline nasal spray. It helps a lot and you can use the nasal spray often, as it's not harmful. Use your thumb to put pressure on your face just below your eyes. Press as hard as you can stand too. You will feel tingling and it will hurt some. Hold it as long as you can, then when you let go, your nose should unclog.

How serious is an abscessed tooth that affects the sinuses causing your face along the side of your nose to swell?

How SERIOUS is it? Come on, now. If someone tells you here that its not serious, what will that do for you? You have an absessed tooth. And it sounds like the infection is spreading to your sinuses. Don't screw around with this. Make a dental appointment. Or if money is an issue, contact a dental school to see if you can get low-cost or no-cost treatment. ~ T

We don't need a vacuum, but they disagreed and lowered the price all the way down to $1000 for the Complete System, $100 Down, and $33/ month waiving the interest as well as paying for the tax. Pretty amazing, huh?! Before leaving they asked if we'd buy it a Kirby vacuum for $500.

It binds to one of the penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of the peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.Absorption Only 40-50% is absorbed from the GI tract (oral); rate may be decreased if taken with food. Greater absorption from oral suspensions than tablet.Distribution It has high concentrations in bile and urine. It can cross the placenta ad its protein binding capacity is 65%.It is always better to perform appropriate cultures and susceptibility studies to determine the causative organism and its sensitivity to cefixime.Cefixime is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity or allergies to cephalosporin class of antibiotics.Adverse Drug Reactions include diarrhea, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting.
