Anyone in the midwest/MISSOURI experience horrible sinuses issues?

Hi, ! I'm not sure what's blooming or getting stirred up in your neck of the woods this time of year. I'm in Indiana and I use this site to give me a clue as to what's causing my sinus issues -- https://www.iqair.com/us/pollen/usa/indiana/lafayette. You might check it out. You can just put in your location and it seems to be pretty accurate. I also struggle with tooth pain when my sinuses get out of control, so I know how irritating that can be. I have pretty good luck with Mucinex and I often take over-the-counter sinus meds (think like Tylenol sinus or whatever generic is cheapest). The sinus headache stuff frequently has acetaminophen, guaifenesin, and some other decongestant. It generally helps.


I hope this helps and you can get some relief very soon! I love Fall, but I could do without all the allergens!

Really annoying when all people say is go see your fucking doctor. You’re not being helpful.

Hi - I'm sorry to hear you're having terrible sinus issues! I hope others who live in the midwest are able to jump in, but I wanted to ask if you've brought this up to your doctor yet. Perhaps they might have suggestions as to what allergens are impacting you this time of year. I hope you're able to find some relief soon! -Alexa (Allergies.net moderator)
