Medical Ailment Musings

Like many others who have followed this advice, you too can cure your sinus infection and get rid of your sinus pain, headaches, sinus pressure and nasal congestion.

Sinusitis, also known as rhinosinusitis, is usually the main cause of sinus pain and is basically the inflammation of the mucus membrane of your sinuses.

Other symptoms usually associated with sinus pain are sinus pressure around the cheeks, forehead and eyes, sore throat, tiredness, headaches, painful ears, pain felt in teeth and green coloured nasal discharge. Quite often the sinus pain/pressure gets worse when you bend forward or lay down.

Bacterial and/or fungal infections cause sinusitis. These infections occur when nasal congestion is prevalent such as when you have the cold, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps or a deviated nasal septum. There is a theory that fungal infections cause the majority of chronic sinusitis, unfortunately antibiotics do not treat fungal infections. Also, many bacteria have become resistant to prescribed antibiotics.

You can get rid of sinus pain and the other symptoms of sinusitis by using the following treatments.

Firstly, get rid of the infection - SinuSoothe, SinuOrega and SinuFix naatural Nasal Sprays are great alternatives to prescribed antibiotics and contain extremely powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ingredients. SinuOrega and SinuFix contain the active ingredient oregano. Whereas SinuSoothe contains a more complex, potent array of natural anti-bacterials and anti-fungals, namely, cinnamon, cumin, frankincense, ginger, manuka, tea tree and turmeric. They also provide instant relief from sinus pain, pressure, headaches etc. Bacteria cannot become resistant to them.

They are recommended and even used by doctors to treat their own sinus conditions, are clinically proven and because they are natural should be completely safe to use.

Secondly, get rid of the inflammation - Sinusitis symptoms are caused by inflammation due to a sinus infection. If mild symptoms still exist after you have got rid of the infection, it may be necessary to take anti-inflammatories. Natural ones are recommended due to them not causing side effects. Vitamin C, omega oils, turmeric etc. are all extremely effective and are good alternatives to over the counter types.

Thirdly, reduce histamine - Stinging nettle and butterbur are great at reducing histamine and the associated allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion. They are just as good as pharmaceutical anti-histamines but don't have the side effects. Natural nasal sprays such as SinuSoothe, Sinus Buster and Sinol are great for nasal symptoms and can desensitize the nasal passages to allergens and reduce histamine. Therefore a runny nose, nasal congestion etc. can be relieved.

Fourthly, improve immune function - Getting plenty of decent quality sleep and improvements to diet can make a big difference. Vitamin C, B complex, multi-vitamins etc. all assist the immune system in dealing with bacterial and viral infections.

If the sinusitis is caused by nasal polyps or a deviated nasal septum, surgery or balloon sinuplasty may be recommended by your doctor.

Please consult your doctor before using new treatments.
