Get Rid of Sinusitis

Sinusitis, when defined in simple terms is an inflammation of the sinus cavities (the hollow spaces in the bone of the cheek and forehead) due to viral or bacterial infections. This usually occurs when one or more of the sinus cavities become inflamed due to blockage of the small tubes (ostium) attached to the nasal passages.

Our sinus cavities are the moist air spaces within the bones of the face around the nose. You usually get Sinusitis after a cold, allergy attack, or irritation from environmental pollutants. Usually mucus that collects in the sinuses drains into the nasal passage, but when you have a cold or an allergy; your sinus cavities become inflamed and are unable to drain. This leads to congestion and an infection of the nasal passages.

Anything that causes swelling in your sinus cavities or keeps the cilia from moving mucus can cause mucus buildup which leads to Sinusitis. This buildup of mucus leads to an increase in sinus pressure and facial pain. When the cilia do not move, all the excess mucus drips down the back of your throat causing Post Nasal Drip. There are two types of Sinusitis, Chronic Sinusitis and Acute Sinusitis.

Bacterial Sinusitis tends to make someone feel sicker than Viral Sinusitis. A person with Bacterial Sinusitis usually will have more facial pain, swelling and a fever compared to someone who has Viral Sinusitis.

How to prevent Sinusitis?

To avoid developing Sinusitis during a cold or allergy attack you should try to do the following:

Try to avoid air travel


Remove pets from your home

Gently blow your nose- by blocking one nostril while blowing through the other

During the summer months, if you swim, keep your head above water and avoid deep dives and somersaults.

Drinking plenty of fluids as this will keep nasal discharge thin.


If you smoke, try to quit


Keeping the air humid at home

Drinking less or no alcohol

Avoid temperature extremes
