I'm sick right now. I can feel my sinuses are inflamed and its giving me a massive fucking headache..... It fucking sucks, because it's now 3 am, and I can't get to sleep..... I've got a cough right now too, and it fucking hurts to cough or sneeze or even blow my nose.....

I took 3 of those 600 mg tablets of ibuprofen a few hours ago. It's helped take the edge off of it, but still no dice..... That is, technically, 3 times the recommended dose.....

So, short of going and finding some sort of supply of hydromorphone, anyone have any suggestions for how I can get rid of this headache?

dude do you understand medicine?? lol

ibuprofen does nothing for sinus headaches, hit up some benadryl man.
or nyquil/dayquil
or both, both works for me

edit: too much "dude"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ibuprofen have a mild anti-inflammatory property as well as pain relieving?

Acetaminophen, hydrocodone, morphine, a fat bowl and a beer.

Cocaine, goes straight to the sinuses !

More seriously, a steam inhalation is very efficient. I found this article to convince you, because most people don't believe it's actually more efficient than taking random pills with side effects :/

I think you're supposed to consult a doctor before taking Ibuprophen.

No. I had a bad experience with the stuff when I was 15. Never again.

You can buy codeine/paracetamol mixtures with no prescription. ibuprofen is not a painkiller that works better by taking more.

I didn't know that Ibuprofen doesn't do anything for sinus headaches..... That seems counter-intuitive.....

I know Ibuprofen doesn't work better with more..... But I'm a ~250 lb guy who has a general resistance to most drugs anyways..... A recommended dose usually doesn't do anything at all for me.....

The steam has helped.

And no, I'm not using a neti pot (I know someone who uses it, and it seems so fucking wierd.....).

Pseudoephedrine, benadryl, and excedrin. I guarantee those in combination will work. One is a decongestant, the other an antihistamine, and the third is two painkillers and caffeine. Technically, both excedrin and pseudoephedrine have stimulants so this is not medically recommended but I do it.

Besides, benadryl makes you sleepy so they balance out.

Take one of these and watch your headache/migraine disappear in about 30 minutes.

yeah, pain killer will just very slightly mask the root of your pain and not do much besides maybe give you a hankering for some more pills...

Actually, a neti pot or just a srynge to flush out your sinuses helps a lot, and often reduces the time of illness by getting rid of allergens and pathogens.
