Cruciferous vegetables are cited as popular treatments in a couple of references I have, but the naturopathic treatment cited as most frequently used is a poultice of freshly grated raw carrots. (No information is given on how effective this treatment is, but maybe it improves your "color?"
My sources indicate that the most common cause is a "simple" blockage of some of the ductwork, and suggest that gentle massage is generally helpful, if you can tolerate it. Massage in a warm shower is suggested by a couple of sources, and at least one suggests that careful and gentle use of an electric vibrator may be helpful (but probably not in the shower, unless your B.O.B. is one of the more exotic ones).
The condition is apparently fairly common, but varies greatly in severity, from barely noticed to cases such as yours. It is noted that it does not necessarily involve an infection, although the symptoms can mimic infection even when none is detected. The advice is given that even when infection is present, it usually is "self-limiting" and should clear up with minimal treatment. Of course, you will want to let your doctor help you make sure you're not the exception that needs a more drastic treatment.
You are perfectly entitled to cite the observation that it seems to occur more frequently in stressful situations, and the best treatment demands that you be pampered and loved, and relieved of all stressful demands and obligations until you are back to your normal condition.
