Suffering from Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is the cavity that is filled with air around the nose. When it is infected with a virus, it leads to sinus infection. Some of the common sinusitis symptoms include:

1. A running nose.
2. Blockage of one or both nostrils.
3. Headaches and pressure around the head, eyes and face.
4. Headache in the forehead and in the face just below the eyes.
5. Low grade fever.
6. Lack of appetite.
7. Difficulty in breathing.
8. Ear or tooth pain.
9. Feeling fatigue.

Here are some tips so that you may no longer suffer too much from sinusitis:

1. Avoid eating too much “sticky” foods such as breads, cakes, cookies, and biscuits and other carbo-rich foods such as macaroni, spaghetti, and other pastas.
2. Refrain from taking cold drinks especially iced-tea (black tea), cola or other caffeine-rich drinks or even too much cold water.
3. Do not use colognes or perfumes with intense smell.
4. Avoid smelling bad odors.
5. Do not use inhalers during clogged nose. You may inhale steam of boiling water instead.
