Sinus inflammation occurs when allergies and other pollutants irritate the sinuses, causing them to swell. As a result, the sinuses are unable to drain mucus and this congestion can lead to sinusitis or painful sinus headaches as an infection develops within the sinus cavities. Sinus headaches can be especially painful and difficult to deal with, they often begin first thing in the morning and routine activities such as bending over can be cause intense, dulling pain around the eyes, nose and cheeks. Inflamed sinus treatment varies from home remedies to physician prescribed medications, and can be relatively easy to treat with the proper care and attention.

HOME REMEDIES

There are many home remedies that can help reduce the symptoms of sinus inflammation, if you are suffering due to a sinus headache or sinusitis these may be able to help:

• Use a humidifier
• Take long, hot showers
• Breathe steam over a boiling pot of water (carefully, of course)
• Compresses over the affected sinuses
• Take over the counter antibiotics/antihistamines

A large cause of irritation to the nasal passages and sinuses is due to the fact that they are dry. Using a humidifier, or taking long hot showers, can help keep them moisturized and reduce the inflammation. It can also help the mucus start flowing, which will also help keep them moisturized. Breathing over a steaming pot of water can also help, but you must be careful when doing this.

Some people find relief by using a warm compress over the affected sinuses, this can help thin the mucus and open the sinuses allowing for drainage. Of course, the use of antibiotics is also helpful. Sinus inflammation can also be caused by an allergic reaction, or even an asthma attack, so antihistamines can be very helpful if your allergies are causing your sinus problems.

One of the most important things that you can do is to stay properly hydrated. It is recommended to drink 6 – 10 glasses of water a day. The intake of fluids will help thin the mucus, making it easier to drain.

IS IT SINUSITIS?

If you have tried the above remedies and the symptoms still persist, there is a chance that you could have sinusitis. Sinusitis is when an infection forms within the inflamed sinuses, causing an intense pressure and often has flu-like symptoms. In these instances, it is advisable to seek doctor’s care as they can prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications to help fight the infection. In some severe cases of sinusitis, surgery is suggested as an alternative to open the sinuses for immediate drainage and relief.
