Sinusitis feels like a cold that never goes away. It often hurts – sometimes a lot. It reduces your energy level, causes mental fog, interferes with sleep, dulls your senses of smell and taste, makes you hoarse and gives you bad breadth.

Modern-day pollution has increased the number of people suffering from allergies. As a result, sinusitis is also on the rise. Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the tissues lining the sinuses. Normally sinuses are filled with air, but when sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grow and cause an infection.

Symptoms of Sinusitis

Primary Symptoms tells that you have acute sinusitis, include facial pain/pressure, nasal stuffiness and thick discharge, loss of smell and cough. These could be accompanied by additional symptoms like fever, bad breadth, fatigue and dental pain.

Sleep with the head of the bed elevated. This promotes sinus drainage.

Minimize exposure to persons with known infections. Avoid contact with people who have colds and other viral upper respiratory infections.

Avoid temperature extremes – very high and low or sudden changes in temperature will cause pain.

Avoid swimming or use nose plugs when swimming or diving in a pool, to keep chlorine from irritating the sinuses.

Washing of your nose with saline has definite benefits, as is verified by medical research.

Good hygiene helps. Bacterial and viral infections are the most common causes of sinusitis, therefore the risk of getting them needs to be reduced by carefully monitoring your hygiene and frequently washing hands with soap and water.

Drink 8 to 12 glasses of water daily.

Have hot tea as soon as you get out of bed. Hot liquids help the mucus to flow, relieving congestion and sinus pressure. It will reduce the morning symptoms.

Hum your way to health. An hour of day of concentrated humming could dilate sinus blood vessels enough to help.
