What can be done about sinus problems?

Answer by  DrMom (854)

First, be sure you actually have sinus problems as opposed to allergies. If you have sinus infections, get a netipot from a drugstore such as Walgreens. Seek medical help if this does not alleviate your symptoms. Antibiotics can help and in severe cases surgery may be necessary.

Sinus problems can be due to allergies or to bacterial infections. Whatever the primary cause of irritation ,a universal treatment often found to produce relief is the use of the netti pot. Flooding the sinuses with warm saline from the netti pot flushes out mucus and reduces swelling.

A nasal irrigator can keep sinuses clear if there are issues with sinuses not draining in the case of certain individuals. A warm rinse will also cut down on inflammation which combine with the lack of draining can be a set up for an infection. This nasal rinse kit can be bought over the counter.
