text: what's the best way to remedy a sinus headache besides painkillers? i'm trying advil cold/sinus but it's not really helping, i was just wondering if anyone had any advice beyond that...thanks deep steam inhalation with vicks vaporub helps a lot. you can do this at home no need to buy the personal steam inhaler. you can put hot water in a small mouth jug, add vaporub into in and put your mnose in the opening and cover your head with a towel and inhale deeply.  or buy the personal steam inhaler.   if your sinus head ache is due to sinus infection -- you should get your doctor to prescribe you an antibiotic.
