Awww.. how awful.

I can't address the MS... but I do have an idea.

If you have congestion, you really need to be taking Mucinex every 12 hours or
3 teaspoonfuls of plain Robitussin every 4 hours to help liquify the congestion and get it out. The decongestants tend to be drying and counterproductive. You need to drink alot of water too.

If this does not relieve you in say, 2 days, then you really need a doctor. Infections from the sinus may move to the cavernous sinus which is where the cranial nerves pass thru.

This is sort of a worst case scenario, but may happen with infections.

Most congestion can be relieved by using guaifenesin when you have colds, etc. I think this is the most useful intervention.
I use it myself..sometimes every day if my ears feel plugged.
Keeping stuff moving out, prevents sinus infections and further nasty issues.
