It is often possible to treat a sinus infection at home by following some points, such as taking OTC medications, trying nasal irrigation, and applying warm compresses.
In this infection, you need to take care of your diet and sleep, and stay away from the dust and dirt.
Some people catch the infection for a few days and sometimes the infection stays for a long duration to recover If people have symptoms of a sinus infection for longer than 7–10 days, they should consult their doctor for medication.
Antibiotics or nasal sprays and irrigation may help fight a sinus infection if it stays longer than a month. In chronic cases, people may need oral steroids or medicines from the ENT doctor to cure it permanently. Sometimes when Sinus infection does not get the proper attention, then it spreads and turns into severe infection which can create many other health problems.
Stay hydrated and take other fluids as they may help to relieve the symptoms of sinus congestion. A person may find that keeping a water bottle close to them throughout the day can encourage them to drink more. Take water frequently as it relieves or you can squeeze the lemon into it for the change.
Inhalation of a steam to relieve the sinus: Take steam twice a day; you can also add some vicks or capsules in it as they will give you instant relief.
A night of good sleep acts as a medicine- When you have a runny nose then you should prefer to take medicine and have some rest as it will soothe your irritation.
Use hot compressors- If you are feeling cold and have cough congestion then you can use the hot compresses and take the steam bath for recovery.
Avoid triggers- Smoke, Alcohol and tobacco products trigger the cold and cough very firstly. So if you’re consuming it frequently then you should limit or avoid it.
One remedy that sounds awkward but works well is that you can eat spicy food as it irritates the nose and opens up the pores. Your congestion gets open instantly. But this remedy is not to be tried for long as you can have severe heartburn and acidity.
