I ask because I have a bad sinus infection on the left side. Pulsatilla seems to fit in many ways, but it's a right-sided remedy. Could it still work?

Greetings!
I haven't yet read this entire discussion, but I will. In the meantime, you may find one of my comments in the thread about hernias helpful. To whit:

Those are called negative symptoms, and the materia medica constantly shows us that they don't work, so don't think that contraindicates Lyc. She's not likely a Lycopodium patient, but don't think that way, and throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at the fools who say stuff like that, too.]

To be thorough, one would have to look up the Pulsatilla pathogenesis and see if it has left-sided coryza, etc., and I simply don't presently have time for that many hours of research, but you can do that yourself with Hahnemann's two materia medica, and a clever person can even access Hering's GUIDING SYMPTOMS online.
