Just a reminder... Nortriptyline is not
A "pain" medication like aspirin and or opiates.

It works over time in the brain in pain loop
Perception area. So taking it for an acute
situation will only sedate you (it's main side effect).

People with sinus tendencies do better
With Mucinex or Robitussin products and
decongestants like phenylephrine.

There is a new therapeutic movement in
Medicine to not use antibiotics so quickly
for sinus problems. So some doctors may
be following this protocol now.

Drinking lots of water also helps with liquefying
Sinus congestion.
