I have been having sinus problems for a while? has any one ever done anything that made a huge difference in?

Question

with how congested they are?

Answer 1

First, take an antihistamine and decongestant regularly. Your doctor can recommend one, or you can buy one over the counter. I use Claritin-D. Be sure with your doctor that you are ok to take these!

Then, get a neti pot. It's the best thing I've ever purchased, and helps me significantly with my congestion and swelling. It allows me to clear out my lower sinuses, and removes debris, pollen, etc.

There are tons on the market, but I just bought a cheap one at Eckerd. Works great. I've got several of my friends using one now and they also all swear by it!

Here's one that you can get online:

I had sinus problem. I used to get cold very often even twice a month.But to my surprise it stopped when I went for swimming. I was swimming regularly. The problem stopped and now I catch cold onece in 3/6 months only.

Also if you practice breathing exercises it will be better. It also gives relief from sinus problems.

Answer 3

yes! They sell something called a (netty pot?) in the health food stores. You put a little salt water solution in it, bend your head over the sink, pour the water into your nostril continuously until the water flows out of the other one,in a free flowing stream. I used to use nasal spray twice a day, haven't used it but twice this week. Please try this The people at the health food store will tell you exactly how to do it! If you want, let me know your results!

Answer 4

Have is a folk remedy people who use it swear by:

Eat honey: But here is the trick to that. It has to be from a local bee hive not mass producted and sold nation wide honey Like Sue Bee Honey.

They all say the honey has to be produced locally.

Answer 5

I recently started using a niti pot (I saw it on Oprah) It enables you to pour water through one nostral, the water travels through your sinuses and comes out the other nostral. It works really well and is a cheap fix!
