i'm still sick

i think i have a sinus infection...

I stayed in most of this weekend. friday i slept as much as i could... saturday i stayed in, except to run to stop and shop to get stuff for dinner.. i was lazy most of the day though (oh and i made stuffed shells and a calzone)..
then sunday... i had a dance show. i had rehearsal beforehand because one of my kids called out sick... so, yea... that did me in... i mean, i re-choreographed the number, just walking... then during the show i lined the kids up and sat and watched most of it, then went out for my bow. then i sat the rest of the time... so its not like i was jumping around or anything...
and last night i thought i was feeling better... then this morning.
i felt 10x WORSE.
my throat was on FIRE, i mean.. that woke me up. my nose is stuffy.. my ears are so clogged i can barely hear anything. my eyes feel like they're being pushed out from the inside.

and now i'm babbling... anyway, any of you girls have any remedies for sinus infections? I don't have Rx coverage and i'm allergic to a few things (um Amoxicillin and z-pack among them)
so... i'm looking for OTC stuff.
i've been taking the new advil congestion relief. it does help 'open up' airways.. but i dont feel like its doing much else. at least with like mucinex that always 'broke things up'.. but mucinex has been giving me bad dizzy spells.

Go to the Doctor

ETA: If you don't have RX coverage, you could explain that to the Doctor and they could give you samples if they have

Or go to Target. They charge you $4 (if you don't have script coverage) to fill your perscriptions.

Airborne and Mucinex. Though really you need antibiotics to get rid of an infection. I know you said you're allergic to z-packs (which is what they normally give me), but there's others they could prescribe.

Feel better!
