Sinusitis is the inflammation of mucous membranes of paranasal sinuses.

   Sinusitis can occur due to many factors.

Different types of bacteria and viruses are the main reason for infection. Viruses causes 90% of the infections.

There are many risk factors like cold or wet weathers, pollutants, recurrent colds, dental infections, nasal obstructions like polyps , adenoids etc, swimming, trauma etc. 

Symptoms 

Facial pain and pressure, cold, sore throat, fever, nasal blockage, epistaxis , headache, anosmia, halitosis are few common symptoms.



Do's and don'ts for sinusitis 

Do's 

Have hot food which gives you instant relief from congestion or nasal blockage.

Use humidifier whenever you feel your nose is blocked and you have difficulty in breathing. I would recommend pinch of turmeric powder in the steam inhalation.

Wear mufflers and overcoats in outdoors for extra protection.

Sip some herbal teas for relaxation and relief from the congestion. They calm you from inside out.

Have fruits and vegetables which naturally have plenty of antioxidants and anti - inflammatory properties.

Wear mask in outdoors as the pollution and pollens might make condition worse.

Have plenty water and stay hydrated always.

Apply hot packs over places like forehead i.e., above eyebrows and above upper lip, if you are having pain in those areas due to accumulation of mucous in those sinuses.

Give yourself a gentle massage to your face when there is heavy feeling over head and pain in the regions of sinuses.

Eating spicy food will give relief from nasal congestion but i will not recommend this for everyone. Instead hot food will also do the work for you.

Take good rest and have good sleep.

Do gentle breathing exercises and short brisk walk will help you with congestion.

Eat foods rich in vit C.

Essential oils like eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil will help you in decongestion. Might not work for all as they are strong smelling they might irritate their passages.



Don'ts 

Avoid dairy products as they will thicken your mucous and makes it difficult for you to blow it out.

Avoid cold food and cold drinks ,they make your situation even worse.

Try to stay indoors when it is cold outside.

Avoid caffeine ,smoking and alcohol as they dehydrate your body and makes the mucous thicker.

When the nose is blocked don't blow your nose too hard as it might lead to epistaxis. Use saline nasal rinse or decongestants to get relief.

Avoid junk and processed food these doesn't give you any extra benefits but drain you even more.

Avoid using things like vicks vaporub as sometimes they might irritate the passages. Some might not find them soothing instead they get irritated with such kind strong smelling things.

These are few tips to help you with sinusitis. These tips will help with the condition but and makes your life easier with sinusitis.

Sinusitis is something which is recurrent, even though you go for surgery or you take plenty of antibiotics,it will definitely reoccur. So the most you can do is change your lifestyle accordingly and eat which suits you better and which doesn't.

Sinusitis also occurs along with nasal polyps, adenoids or deviated nasal septum so one should definitely consider them too when suffering from recurrent colds and coughs.

 Homeopathy has best treatment for sinusitis and it helps to gain immunity and makes you resistant to the things , you were sensitive to.

Sinusitis makes your day to day life difficult in chronic cases, so taking precautions beforehand is more beneficial.
