Acute Sinusitis Prevention &
Treatment
Acute sinusitis is an infection of
one or more sinuses. Several factors
contribute to sinus infections,
including blockage of sinus drainage
due to swollen nasal lining.
Treatment
Blow nose gently, both nostrils at
the same time.
Breathe steam from the shower or hot
water in the sink. Drape a towel
over your head and the bowl and
breathe the steam, taking care not
to burn yourself.
Use a humidifier in your bedroom
while you sleep.
Put warm, moist cloths over the
affected sinus(es).
Increase your consumption of fluids,
preferably water and juices.
Nasal irrigation is very beneficial.
