[size=4][b]To Clear Sinuses - How to Get Rid of Sinus Problems - 7 Ways to Treat Sinus Problems[/b][/size][hr]When the air-filled hollow cavities around your nose and nasal passages become inflamed, fluid may accumulate and obstruct normal drainage of mucus in the sinuses. This condition is called acute sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is sure to affect the quality of your life.

[size=large][b]Home Remedies[/b][/size][hr]You can try some home remedies to get rid of sinus problems if you are suffering from the early stage of sinusitis. Steaming the sinus cavities has been found effective in many cases. Draping a towel around your head you can inhale steam from a bowl of hot water. Taking a hot shower and breathing the warm and moist air also provides relief. Fomentation with a hot damp towel around the sinus areas can also relieve facial pain. Drinking lots of fluids helps in diluting the mucus secretions and enhances the drainage in the nasal passage. Avoiding alcohol helps in reduce the swelling in the nasal areas. These methods can help you can get rid of sinus problems if they are not severe.

Due to the fast way of life today, getting sick is out of the question. Sinusitis is more common than hypertension and arthritis. Common sinus infection symptoms include facial pain, headache and fever. Sinusitis usually results from infections on the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by the inflammation of the mucosal of one or more lining of the sinuses. Wink

[i]The difference between the symptoms of sinusitis to those of colds and allergies, is that sinusitis is more often accompanied by facial pain, thick yellow or green mucus, post-natal drip and typically lasts longer than 7 to 10 days of a common cold.[/i]

Quote:[list][*]Sinus infection can be classified in two ways: based on the time span and the type of inflammation.[*]Sinus infections based on time span are acute sinusitis, subacute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis.[*]Infectious and noninfectious are the types of inflammation.[*]The first impression is the best impression.[*]We have written this article on Sinus in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it![/list]

Almost all sinus infection symptoms start with a common cold, which is caused by a virus. Colds do not necessarily cause the symptoms of sinusitis but they contribute to the inflammation of the sinuses. The inflammation also adds to symptoms that eventually develop into acute sinusitis. Flu and allergy attack sometimes also precedes acute sinusitis. It is considered as an acute sinus infection if it is less than 30 days duration. We have included the history of Symptom Sinusitis here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Symptom Sinusitis.

[list][*]The symptoms of acute sinusitis include cloudy, discolored nasal drainage, nasal stuffiness, sore throat and cough.[*]Headaches when leaning forward is also a symptom of sinusitis.[*]The facts on Sinusitis Causes mentioned here have a consequential impact on your understanding on Sinusitis Causes.[*]This is because these facts are the basic and important points about Sinusitis Causes.[*]Sinus infection has a lot of variations, and it is up to you to determine just what kind it is.[*]So once you started to have any of these symptoms, try to consult with a physician immediately to avoid any further complications.[*]Getting sick is just not an option because of the very high cost of living today.[*]So stay healthy![*]Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Acute Sinus.[*]There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.[*]Subacute sinus infection is the next stage of sinus infection and this already has a time span of over a month but less than three months.[*]Chronic sinus infection is diagnosed if the infection is greater than 3 months.[*]It is the result of too many cases of acute sinusitis, which causes the bacteria to grow continuously.[*]Chronic sinusitis may not totally involve an infection but chronic inflammation, a buildup of mucus, and sinus pressure and pain.[*]Having a penchant for Chronic Sinus Infection led us to write all that there has been written on Chronic Sinus Infection here.[*]Hope you too develop a penchant for Chronic Sinus Infection![*]Do you think you're having some sinus infection symptoms now?[*]Or if you aren't sure if your symptoms are related to your sinuses, there are a few ways you can tell if they are.[*]You may be in the beginning stages of sinusitis or a sinus infection or have had one developing for awhile.[/list]

Sinus headache may be harder to turn around if you don't catch it just as it's starting up. The body goes into an automatic mode where it's harder to break the cycle. So if you suspect it might be your sinuses take some quick action. Try nasal irrigation for a sinus headache cure or to get sinus relief. The completion of this article on Sinus Infection Symptoms was our prerogative since the past one month. However, we completed it within a matter of fifteen days!

[size=large][b]Sinus Headache[/b][/size][hr]In the past, I don't think sinus headaches were recognized as much as they should have been. It seems they were not recognized as such. Many people have suffered with headaches that were labeled tension headaches or migraines. A sinus headache can be one-sided on the top of the head, or across the forehead, for example. This can be considered to be a valuable article on Sinus Blockage. It is because there is so much to learn about Sinus Blockage here.

[size=large][b]Irritated Throat[/b][/size][hr]If you notice a slightly sore throat it may be from the sinus discharge draining down your throat. You can try gargling with some warm water (about 8 oz.) with a half teaspoon of salt. If this clears you in half an hour or so then you don't have a sore throat but just irritation from the sinus drainage. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinus Infections. Such is the amount of matter found on Sinus Infections.

[size=large][b]These are Some of the Ways You can Tell[/b][/size][hr]1. Yellowish discharge. Do you have some nasal discharge or feel some discharge in the back of your throat? Check it closely and see if it has a yellowish tinge. If it's yellow you can be almost certain you have a sinus infection going on. If the discharge is not yellow you may be in the early stages of sinusitis and you can stop it easier now before it gets into a full-blown sinus infection.

[size=large][b]Stuffed Up Nose[/b][/size][hr]A stuffed up nose or sinus congestion can be from a sinus blockage - a back up behind the nose in the sinus cavities. When the sinuses get blocked by dried up mucous, the one quart of mucous that moves through the sinuses each day gets backed up, causing a lot of pressure and possibly headache. Taking any medication as a sinus treatment, that dries up mucous, such as antihistamines, will harden it even more. The sources used for the information for this article on Sinus Cures are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.

[size=large][b]Slight Coughing Off and on[/b][/size][hr]If you find you're coughing here and there throughout the day, you may have sinus drainage leaking down your throat and irritating your cough reflex. The coughing is to clear your throat and not in your lungs at this point. The information available on Sinus Drainage is infinite. There just seems to be so much to learn about, and to write about on Sinus Drainage.

[size=large][b]Here are Some Useful Tips to Bid Adieu to Acute Sinus Pain[/b][/size][hr]First, let's analyze whether it is a chronic or a simple case of sinus. There are three major divisions of sinusitis - acute, sub-acute and chronic. Acute is basically bacterial in origin and lasts for less than four weeks, sub acute types last for four to twelve weeks, chronic more than 12 weeks. They are left over symptoms caused by cold or flu.

[size=large][b]Symptoms of Acute Sinus[/b][/size][hr]See if you have the right symptoms of acute sinus pain, which include headache, fever, cough, postnasal drainage (yellow or green in colour), nasal congestion, hampered smell, facial pain, and change in body temperature, sever headache in the mornings are the symptoms we often find in this case.

[list][*]Conclusion Finally it all boils down to having a healthy lifestyle.[*]Take ample supplements to stay healthy.[*]As recommended by researchers - Vitamin C: 1,000 to 2,000 mg. daily and Vitamin A: 10,000 I.U. daily can help you get rid of acute sinus pain.[*]It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Acute Sinus to read articles pertaining to it.[*]Only people interested in Acute Sinus will enjoy this article. [/list]

[size=large][b]Swollen, Inflamed Sinuses are, to Put It Mildly, Very Uncomfortable[/b][/size][hr]Sinuses get infected and inflamed through various means. Sinusitis is caused by allergies to something in the air we breath or even to the food we eat. Finding out what is causing the infection is the province of ear, nose, and throat specialists. Sometimes weather is a factor. How to effectively get relief is the subject of this article.

[size=large][b]There are Also Some Herbal Remedies that Sometimes Work Very Well Depending on the Person[/b][/size][hr]Some of these are: goldenseal, yarrow, garlic and elderflowers. These can be purchased at most health food stores as a tincture. There are many herbal formulas that are also available from the same source.

Another favorite method is to inhale steam by bending over boiling water with a towel around your head to 'catch' the steam. These methods are not intended to replace normal medical care by your health care provider but to supplement their care or to provide relief until your next office visit. It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Sinusitis if they are presented in an easy and clear way. The presentation of an article too is important for one to entice people to read it!

One of my favorite, immediate relief of symptoms of sinus congestion is the use of aromatherapy. A mixture of a few drops of lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils on a tissue and sniffed sometimes offer great, immediate relief, while waiting on sinus decongestants to kick in.

[size=4][b]Acute Sinusitis Rhinitis - Sinus Infection Treatment- Without Antibiotics?[/b][/size][hr]Gentleman named Jason H. recounted to me recently how he managed to treat a sinus infection without the use of antibiotics. Jason has a long history of 15 years of chronic sinus problems, and he has undergone 4 sinus surgeries. He is happy about his last operation to remove polyps and fix a deviated septum, and he has also begun using pulsating nasal irrigation with the Grossan Hydro Pulse' device. Nonetheless, he recently managed to come down with another sinus infection. Concerned that he has taken too many antibiotics in his life, he decided to attack the problem using the nasal irrigator. At this point a disclaimer is in order. Neither Jason nor the author of this article are doctors or medical professionals, we are both just sinus sufferers. As such neither of us is qualified to offer medical advice. I would personally urge anyone with a sinus infection, particularly those with chronic problems, to see an ENT specialist.

Personally know it is possible for the body to heal itself how can i tell if i have a sinus infection? although the process can be long and painful. When I was much younger I used to say 'when I get a cold it is really a lulu', and I would typically be sick for 2 to 3 weeks. It wasn't unusual for me to be bedridden for 2-4 days with severe headaches and nasal discharge and tearing in the eyes during that period as well. Of course colds don't last that long, and I now know that what I was experiencing was a sinus infection. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Sinus.

Quote:[list][*]Clearly the body will eventually heal itself, but the healing process can be much faster using proper medications, such as antibiotics in this case.[*]However, I too began to wonder if I was taking too many antibiotics after a number of years.[*]At present I'm pleased to say that my nasal irrigator keeps the amount of antibiotics I use down to a low number.[/list]

Once again, I would recommend that most people seek advice from their doctor when they begin to fall ill. People like Jason and I, who have long histories battling sinus infection, can tell when we have one, but that is not the case for most people. There is no doubt, however, that pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution is a huge help, and I'm convinced it would help lower the number of colds caught by most people, even those who do not have chronic sinus problems. And it can be used even for treatment of a sinus infection, as Jason did, although it might be best to try this under a doctor's supervision. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Sinusitis to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Sinusitis will enjoy this article.

Any case Jason used his nasal irrigation system 6 times on the day he realized he had an infection, which is a lot, but the next day he felt a lot better. He continued to use the system once or twice a day thereafter, as he normally would, and after three or four days he felt like he was completely over the problem. It was the first time he had ever dealt with a sinus infection without resorting to the use of antibiotics. The more readers we get to this writing on Chronic Sinusitis, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read. So read on and pass it to your friends.
[size=medium][b]Causes Symptoms and Treatment of Sinusitis[/b][/size]




The main benefit of pulsating nasal irrigation is for prevention, however, rather than treatment of sinus infections that have already taken hold, as Jason used it. I'm personally coming to the conclusion that this procedure would benefit almost everybody. I used to be a person who would become sick fairly regularly, but now I almost never become ill. I've gone over 1 ' years without a cold or sinus infection, and it only happened on that occasion because I was exhausted before a long overseas flight. At that point I simply could not hold the infection off. I sometimes hear about people who don't have chronic sinusitis and who come down with colds, and this tends to surprise me. I used to be the one who got sick all the time, but now that is almost never the case. If I do feel a cold coming on I'll use my nasal irrigator two or even three times a day for 1-2 days (I normally use it twice a day in any case). If I feel a possible infection coming on I'll also take 5 mg of prednisone, and I normally also use a steroid spray, flonase, although there are a number of such products on the market. For about five years now this regimen has worked well for me. One needs to be careful with prednisone, however, as it can cause harmful side-effects. I use it sparingly, and my doctor says it is not an issue.

[size=large][b]Got Carried Away[/b][/size][hr]I have 14 sinus buster tips here that may help you avoid serious sinus infections, sinusitis or other sinus problems. It's a myth that sinus infections are only seasonal. Sinus infections can occur more often in winter when houses are closed up and not getting the proper ventilation. But seasonal allergies affect people more often in the spring and summer months. Some people suffer all-year-round. Many don't know why.

[size=large][b]Use Daily Saline Nasal Irrigation[/b][/size][hr]Use nasaline or the neti pot. Don't add baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or anything else to the solution. There is a lot of misinformation floating around the Internet; these substances can irritate and even damage the lining of your nose and sinus cavities and if you think you had problems before, you could certainly have then now. Saline solution only. A sinus buster!

Some advice has been to take hot showers, but I would only recommend this unless you have proper filtration, otherwise you're inhaling chlorine fumes and whatever chemicals are still left in the water. You can try inhaling steam with distilled or spring water over the stove with a towel over your head but irrigation would be much better. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Nasal Irrigation. This is to liven the mood when reading about Nasal Irrigation.

[list][*]Whether you know you suffer from allergies or don't know if you have any try to reduce the stress on your sinuses at night.[*]Use hepa air cleaners.[*]Use hepa vacuums when you vacuum.[*]Use dust mite mattress and pillow case covers which are relatively cheap to help keep the allergens under control.[*]Wash your sheets and other bedding in hot water often.[*]To err is human, to forgive is divine.[*]So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Nose Sinus. [*]Get tested for allergies including pollen and dust mites. 13.[*]Avoid inhaling dust, new or old household dust; avoid smoke and all fumes.[*]You have to travel or don't have access to irrigation, then carry some saline nasal spray with you.[*]It won't reach the sinus cavities but it will provide some moisture in your nasal passages.[*]It may not reach your sinus cavities however.[*]Use it several times a day. Wink[*]Drinking iced drinks like iced tea and any drink containing ice will not help and can actually aggravate your sinus problems.[*]However if you have a full blown sinus headache, you may find a cold, all-fruit smoothie made with fresh and frozen fruit, will help it.[*]You can use hot compresses to relieve some of the swelling and help increase blood flow.[*]This may not be good if you have a sinus headache.[/list]

[size=large][b]Make Sure Your Home is Ventilated as Much as Possible in the Winter Months[/b][/size][hr]Air it out when you can. Use air cleaners and especially use an air cleaner in your bedroom at night. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Sinusitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

[list][*]Get plenty of exercise, especially outdoors to get good blood flow to the sinuses and clear your nasal passages. 7.[*]Make sure your bedroom air isn't too dry at night.[*]Air it out in the daytime if possible.[*]Problems occur when the sinuses dry out for any reason.[*]If you find you get nosebleeds at night or wake up with them, then the air may be too dry in your bedroom.[*]The most common cause of nosebleeds is lack of moisture - air that is too dry.[*]Some people use humidifiers but these can cause mold and moisture problems in your house also.[*]So that would be a last resort.[*]You'd want to get the kind that is 'bacteria free'.[*]Keeping to the point is very important when writing.[*]So we have to stuck to Neti Pot, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.[*]If you suffer from allergies and it's allergy season, try to give your sinuses a break.[*]Keep your windows closed at night.[*]The peak time for many allergens is between 5 P.M. and 10 A.M.[/list]

[size=large][b]To Some the Phrase,' Sweeten the Sinus to Cure Sinusitis', May Sound Like a Clich'[/b][/size][hr]But seriously grandma's cough medicine also has the capacity to treat sinusitis. Honey has been used for medications and treatments since ancient times. Apart from its taste, it is because of its medicinal properties and healing power that bees safeguard it and bears love them. A spoon of honey will soothe your throat from sore throughout the winter season. '

Though honey has been using in homeopathic medicines to treat wounds, this recent study may hold clinical implications for the treatment of sinusitis. The researches are looking forward to conducting the experiments on animal before finally testing on humans. The findings have shown that honey can be used in the management of the chronic infections that are difficult to treat. However, the dilemma how honey would be used clinically still continues to linger.

[list][*]Recent researches have shown that honey is a good source of treating sinusitis especially chronic rhinosinusitis.[*]The medicinal properties in honey have the capability to kill all sorts of bacteria especially the drug resistant biofilm.[*]The biofilm is a coating, which protects the bacteria; and has been responsible for almost all the chronic infections.[*]The study was conducted to determine the affectivity of honey to these biofilms.[*]The magnitude of information available on Treat Sinusitis can be found out by reading the following matter on Treat Sinusitis.[*]We ourselves were surprised at the amount![/list]

[size=large][b]As Noted by Dr[/b][/size][hr]Joseph G. Marsan, honey has been used as an anti microbial dressing for infected wounds in traditional medicine. In the study it was found that ordinary honey has the capability to kill bacteria that causes sinusitis much better than an antibiotic. The study further revealed that certain honeys are very effective for getting rid of the biofilm. The presence of anti microbial properties is much superior to those anti microbial used in antibiotics. Writing this composition on Treating Sinusitis was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

[size=large][b]The United States, Up to 1 Billion Cases of Sinusitis Have Been Reported Every Year[/b][/size][hr]Out of which 14-16% of the total US population suffer from Rhinosinusitis. The disease is very common among the women. About 90% of those who suffer from nasal congestion display sinus abnormalities. However, timely diagnosis of the sinusitis will be helpful in treating it. The treating therapy includes getting rid of the infection and inflammation.
