[size=4][b]Sinus - Sinus Infection Symptoms - 5 Ways to Tell If You Have a Sinus Infection - Nurse's Tips![/b][/size][hr]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. :o.

[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. This article on Sinus Relief was written with the intention of making it very memorable to its reader. Only then is an article considered to have reached it's objective.

[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.

[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.

Slight coughing off and on. 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.

Quote:These are some of the ways you can tell. 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.

The primary function of the sinuses is to filter pollutants and bacteria from the air through the small hairs and mucus within the sinus cavities. In normal situations this works fine however swelling and infection can impair this function as a result of a cold or allergy. Such sinus infection (sinusitis) results in symptoms such as pain around the nose and eyes, a high temperature and headache and makes the sufferer feel generally unwell.

[size=large][b]Home Humidifiers[/b][/size][hr]An ideal way to prevent sinus dryness is by using a personal humidifier that can be purchased from drug stores. By maintaining the moisture within the nasal passages the sinuses can drain correctly and reduce potential problems occurring. This article has been written with the intention of showing some illumination to the meaning of Sinus. This is so that those who don't know much about Sinus can learn more about it.

Think before Using Nasal Spray - Overuse of nasal spray medication can sometimes do more harm than good. Repeated use can cause nasal linings to shrink followed by swelling even more and the cycle starts again to prolong the infection. A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Sinus Infection Treatment is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition.
