How to clear a sinus infection
Sinus infections are painful and debilitating. Sinus infections can cause headaches known as migraines, but most importantly, a sinus infection can be dangerous if left untreated due to the close proximity to brain, ear canal and throat. Fortunately there are a variety of remedies available to restore sinus health and preventing recurrences. The treatments range from easy home remedies to medical solutions.
Instructions
Natural Prevention
— A saline spray to keep the sinuses moist is helpful to keep infections at bay.
— A Nettie Pot used with non-iodized salt to rinse the sinuses twice a day kills bacteria and keeps the sinuses clear and eliminates obstructions that house harmful bacteria.
— Reduce dust mites and allergens in the home by all means necessary. Replace carpeting with wood flooring, wash walls with a wet microfiber towel, replace furnace/air conditioning filters, vacuum upholstery weekly.
— Reduce pressure pain by avoiding air travel when having a cold.
— Use nasal strips to aid in breathing while sleeping.
— Open windows during the winter to allow an exchange of air flaw. Stale air can be saturated with allergens and bacteria.
Medical Prevention and Treatment
— A specialist in ear, nose and throat (ENT) can determine if the septum is deviated and needs to be corrected surgically to allow proper breathing.
— A chronic condition requires antibiotics that can only be prescribed by a physician.
— Other types of surgical intervention can, and should, be discussed with a professional for recurrent sinus infections.
