Sinuses are hollow cavities located behind the bones of the face, around the eyes and nose. When the sinuses become inflamed or blocked, it can lead to symptoms such as:

    1. Nasal congestion: Difficulty breathing through the nose due to blockage or swelling of the nasal passages.
    2. Facial pain or pressure: Pain or pressure in the forehead, cheeks, or around the eyes, often worsening when bending forward.
    3. Nasal discharge: Thick, discolored mucus draining from the nose or down the throat (postnasal drip).
    4. Cough: A persistent cough, particularly at night, often due to postnasal drip irritating the throat.
    5. Reduced sense of smell and taste: Inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages can affect the sense of smell and taste.
    6. Headache: Sinus headaches often feel like a deep, dull ache or pressure in the forehead, cheeks, or behind the eyes.
    7. Fever: In some cases, sinusitis may be accompanied by a low-grade fever.
    8. Home Remedies:
      • Nasal irrigation: Using a saline nasal rinse or nasal irrigation system can help flush out mucus and relieve nasal congestion.
      • Steam inhalation: Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water or using a humidifier can help moisturize the nasal passages and relieve congestion.
      • Warm compress: Applying a warm compress over the sinuses can help reduce pain and pressure.
    9. Medications:
      • Decongestants: Over-the-counter oral decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine) or nasal sprays (e.g., oxymetazoline) can help relieve nasal congestion, but they should not be used for more than three to five days to avoid rebound congestion.
      • Pain relievers: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce pain and fever associated with sinusitis.
      • Nasal corticosteroids: Prescription or over-the-counter nasal corticosteroid sprays (e.g., fluticasone, mometasone) can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and relieve symptoms.
      • Antibiotics: If sinusitis is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. However, antibiotics are not typically recommended for viral sinusitis unless symptoms are severe or persist for more than 10 days.
    10. Other Treatments:
      • Allergy management: If sinusitis is triggered by allergies, avoiding allergens and using allergy medications such as antihistamines or allergy shots may help prevent sinusitis.
      • Nasal polyp removal: If sinusitis is caused by nasal polyps, surgery may be necessary to remove the polyps and improve sinus drainage.
