Hello
I have recently been on 3rd round of chemo and I have blocked sinus along with a head cold. I haven't taken anything for it as am not sure what I can take to help relive sinuses.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks 
Hi Stacey268 and I see it’s your first post so a warm welcome to the community but sorry to hear about your head cold.
There is a balance as to what you can safely take depending on the chemo you are having.
The first thing to do is check is your temperature to see if you have underlying signs of a developing infection.
I was given this simple rule for keeping eye out for infections…… If my temperature is 37.5°C (without taking paracetamol as this can take your temperature down and hid an infection) repeat in one hour. If my temperature has increased, whether I felt unwell or not, I had to call it in……. and this was to the chemo support line.
You could go in past and talk with a local pharmacist as they can help you out……. In these circumstances I was allowed Paracetamol but as I said, I had to do the temperature checks first.
The other thing I did was have Albas Oil on a handkerchief and breath in the vapour…..
It is always good to talk with people on the exact same journey so if you care to have a look through this link Cancer Specific Groups you will find all our dedicated cancer support groups listed.
These groups are safe plac s to get first hand support from others.
