Natural Remedies For Catarrh

1.) Stop smoking.
2.) Mix 1/3 cup of lemon juice with 2 tbsp of honey and drink it slowly, letting it slide down your throat. Can also be mixed with strong tea.
3.) Gargle with salt water at night before bedtime.
4.) Brush your teeth more. (yes, dental cavities can cause sore throats and congestion.)
5.) wash your hands more often (to stop the spread of viruses.)

I have been suffering with a sinus infection for over a month now. At first it was affecting my head and giving me terrible headaches. The doctor gave me antibiotics but when they didn't clear it up after a week decided that it must be viral and that I would just have to ride it out.

I've suffered with sinus infections and catarrh for as long as I can remember and most of the time I can put up with it, but for the past few days both my ears have had that horrible clogged almost wet feeling, and everything I hear is being amplified and given a strange metallic echo. This is becoming extremely distressing and I'm finding it very hard working in an office where lots of people are talking and using the phone as every sound seems to be booming inside my head. It doesn't hurt, but it makes me feel like I'm going crazy with so much noise going on the whole time!

I went to the doctor again today and was told that there isn't anything I can do except keep taking decongestant and wait for it to go away. Surely that isn't right? There must be SOMETHING I can do to help clear this horrible gunky stuff out of my ears? In the past, when it has been my head and eyes that have been the problem I have managed to shift it by inhaling steam with menthol, but it isn't working in this case, presumably because the catarrh is much deeper inside my head, behind my ears.

Does anyone know of anything that can be done to help clear catarrh in the ears? At the moment I'm taking sudafed which doesn't seem to be having any effect at all, and like I said I've tried steaming. Anything else? Anything I can eat / drink / do that might thin the catarrh out a bit and help it clear?

I sympathise as I too suffer from the same thing. I've been to the doctor and a specialist at the hospital, but like you, I was told it would go away as I'd probably had a viral infection and there was nothing they could give me.

You could try warming some almond oil, and putting a few drops in your ears, it may help a bit. If it is causing you a lot of distress go back to your doctor again.
