What should I do to improve the situation, it has been going on for too long and it hurts?

23-year-old womana year ago
I have had a stuffy nose since Monday and some discharge as well. I have had temperature swings for 3 1/2 days. I now have a tooth/jaw ache. I started the sinus rinse yesterday. I am no longer able to deal with the pain.

Hello Madam, I am sorry to read about your troubles!
You did the right thing with Sinus Rinse, it is the foundation of the treatment and can be done as often as needed during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands) remains the best treatment for sinus pain. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and other brands, if you or your child have no contraindications to taking it, your pharmacist will be able to confirm this) can also help with the pain.
If it persists for more than 7 days without improvement, you should see a doctor.
I hope I have been helpful, I remain available if you have other questions
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
