| I have a hella wicked sinus infection. Went to Costco, no dice on Nyquil. Does anybody know where I can get some reasonably priced Nyquil/Dayquil Sinus? Or what I would need to ask for at a 약국? |

| There's a store by Itaewon in Kyunridan(sp?) up the hill past the Buy the Way on the right. small glass door. They have it. They sell some random foreign products like liquor and stuff. It's the hill by Istanbul and the across from the entrance to the army base by Haebonchon. |

| I get 2-3 large bottles of cherry flavor every November from home. Just ask someone to send them to you. It's cheaper than buying the equivalent from the black market stores here. Some people will tell you that it's illegal, but mine got through w/out a problem |

Hannam Market has Nyquil- in the front of the building.
OP, take vitamin C every day, get plenty of sleep, and avoid people who have colds. Prevention is the best medicine- and the cheapest, too. |

I've been being treated for about a week now for the same thing you've got (moderate to severe sinusitis). I don't know what mystery pills that my doctor has been giving me, but they have been working and make me sleepy to boot. 
Red Door in Itaewon almost always has Nyquil and Dayguil if you must have it, but as most know, it is not reasonably priced. |

Well it's US owned and manufactured by Vicks which is in turn owned by Proctor and Gamble, hence it's an 'import' (for lack of a better term).
The Koreans have their own locally produced treatments for such ailments. |

| I'm get the impression that Koreans don't get sinus problems as much. I went to my nurse and showed her the translations for "sinus", pointed, and said 아파요, and when she didn't get it, just showed her 'sinusitis' and she still didn't get it. I'm thinking that actual sinus meds made in Korea are going to be few and far between. |
