    Severed from sinus headaches due to deviation in the septum as well as sinus surgeries. Tried any drugs. This one actually worked! Thanks to the reviews before mine. You encouraged me to try something that actually works!

    I have been suffering with a sinus headache and sinus pressure for the last 10 days. I read the reviews for this product and thought...what the heck - I'm going to try this out. WOW! Just like everyone said - it took my headache and pressure away within 30-40 minutes. I will never use anything else. Thank you Advil for making such an awesome product.
