[size=4][b]Sinus Infection - How to Get Rid of Sinus Headache?[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Sinuses are air pockets in our skull and even small children have these cavities in their skulls. Sinus headache is caused when there is an infection in the sinus cavities either due to some microbes like virus or bacteria or even fungus or because of an allergic attack. How to get rid of sinus headache is all about making the symptoms of the sinusitis to subside!

[list][*]To get rid of sinus headache one should think how to clear the nasal passage and sinus exits, which get blocked by the mucus.[*]Inhaling steam not only soothes the pain in the nasal passages but also provides humidity that is very much essential to clear the excess mucus. Smile[/list]

A preliminary diagnosis suggests that the sinusitis is because of an infection then to get rid of sinus headache, one should start taking some anti-biotics. How to know if it is an infection is not very difficult. All that one needs to do is to examine the color of phlegm and if it is yellow and green then most probably one needs an anti-biotic. Anti-biotics also makes the symptoms of the bodily reaction to the infection to subside, which is the main cause of discomfort to the patient.

Some of the things in vogue to get rid of sinus headache are applying vaporizers or balms on the fore head, taking painkillers etc. How is it that while sometimes sinus leads to headache but not always is also very important to know? It depends upon the sinuses affected and the kind and the extent of infection and the severity with which the body has responded to it. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Sinusitis that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

[size=large][b]Three Years Ago, One of My Friends Had Got a Very Severe Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]He went to the doctor and the headache was so appalling that the only thing he could ask the doctor was how to get rid of sinus headache. The doctor smiled and said it depends upon the type of your sinusitis and if it is because of sinusitis at all. We also need to ensure before rushing in for medication and tablets that whether the headache is because of sinusitis or not.

[size=large][b]Am Worn Out[/b][/size][hr]I'm not worth much today. I cannot seem to get it together. This spot on my sinus is hurting again and I cannot breathe through my nostril. The smell of her perfume is getting to me. Wow, I sure could use a break from these fluorescent lights. Now my sinuses are throbbing. Finally, it's time to go home. I know it's dinner time, but I really don't feel like eating. I wonder if I will need to go to the doctor again and take another round of antibiotics. I hate that, because I always have to treat the yeast infection that follows.'

Regrettably this presentation of migraine usually receives a prescription of antibiotics rather than appropriate care. Just as bad, the patient gives up on seeking medical care and resorts to self-medicating which can lead to complications, such as, rebound headaches or chronic daily headaches. Proper diagnosis is essential to beginning appropriate care. Unfortunately many patients have even had multiple sinus surgeries without success. I am pleased to report that the efforts of headache experts are starting to be realized. I have found ENT surgeons in my area of the country are now more aware of migraines presentations and are more alert to recommend their patients to receive appropriate care.

[size=large][b]This Person Falls Into the Migraine Syndrome Profile[/b][/size][hr]Let me explain what I mean by the migraine syndrome. It is the outward expression of the body's sensitivity to light, sound, smell, food, and/or stress. Some people are more sensitive than others; therefore, their reactions to different stimuli are greater. This sensitivity can be manifested in the body as migraines, sinus headaches, neck aches, palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, motion sickness or vertigo, reactive hypoglycemia, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), panic attacks, and/or fibromyalgia. Now that's a mouthful! Understanding what is going on with you is very important in the healing process. The value of this composition is achieved if after reading it, your knowledge on Sinus Headaches is greatly influenced. This is how we find out that the meaning of Sinus Headaches has really entered you!

After two painful sinus operations, I was still coming down with infections. I had to find some real remedy to my sinusitis problem, as I was tired of taking antibiotics and especially tired of the dull, deep headaches every time I had an attack.

[list][*]Best of luck to all sinusitis sufferers.[*]I hope this information will help improve your lives as much as it has helped me.[*]Please don't hesitate to forward this article to friends and family who suffer from sinusitis.[/list]

Haven't eliminated sinus infections entirely, and I might come down with perhaps one per year. I'm more susceptible when very tired, or after long flights, as we often go back and forth to Europe for our tour business. When flying anywhere I make sure to take some kind of decongestant, normally the Flonase. I can enjoy wine, cheese, chocolate, and I really don't need to avoid any particular foods. Dr. Grossan's system has worked for me, and I certainly don't miss the deep, painful sinus infection headaches that used to be all too familiar. Dr. Grossan has lots of other advice in his book as well, and I definitely recommend that anyone with sinusitis read it. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Sinus Infections that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

[size=large][b]Sinus Operations- Try to Avoid[/b][/size][hr]The operations were no fun. After the first one my nose was "packed". This means that in order to stop the bleeding, the ENT specialist/surgeon put a large amount of gauze in my nose, which means that one can only breathe through the mouth for the week or so of recovery time. In other words, swallowing and breathing cannot occur at the same time. This is a good way to lose weight, as one cannot eat much, but it is not a great way to live. At the end of this period, before pulling out the gauze, the doctor said "this will feel like I'm pulling your brains out through your nose". This was the most accurate statement he ever made to me. Pulling what seemed like 6 feet of moist, sticky gauze out of my nose was an almost surrealistically painful sensation. But I thought, "if my deviated septum is now fixed, at least I can look forward to no sinus infections in the future, or at least a lot fewer of them. I was wrong again, as they started coming back after a few months. I changed ENT specialists since the first one put me through tons of pain for no gain. After a couple of years of treatment with this new doctor, I decided to take his advice and try another operation. Among other therapies, I had allergy shots during that time, even though I only tested positive for minor allergies to a couple of things. My nose was not "packed" this time, but there was still plenty of pain. Again my hopes for an infection-free future were dashed when they started up again after a few months. So after two operations by two different ENT specialists, I said "enough is enough". For those considering sinus operations to fix things like a deviated septum, here's my considered advice: don't do it. At least try the nasal irrigation recommended by Dr. Murray Grossan which is explained below before you do. One hears about people who have had 5 or 6 sinus operations, and these either don't work, or if they do cause improvement, it doesn't last very long. Some people have told me that a sinus operation "fixed" their problems, but I am skeptical. The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Nasal Sinus. So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Nasal Sinus.

[size=large][b]The Easiest Way to Start[/b][/size][hr]In the past couple of years Dr. Grossan has come up with his own machine for nasal irrigation. It is called the Hydro Pulse Nasal Irrigation System. For about $89 plus shipping one receives the Hydro Pulse Nasal/Sinus Irrigator, 2 Original Sinus Irrigator Tips , 2 Original Throat Irrigator Tips, Breathe-ease XL Nasal Moisturizer (this is the saline solution), and excerpts from,"The Sinus Cure" by Dr. Grossan.

[size=large][b]Use a Waterpik and Adaptor[/b][/size][hr]When I first started following Dr. Grossan's advice he suggested using a WaterPik machine, and these have been sold for years as devices to improve gum and dental health. Dr. Grossan simply sold an adaptor and a saline solution, although one can use table salt. Although much more expensive than salt, I find that this saline solution is convenient, works well, and has no preservatives. I usually purchase a dozen containers at a time, and these will last up to a year with one application per day. One simply puts a spoonful of saline solution into the WaterPik tank and then about 16 oz. of warm water to dissolve the powder. Then the nasal adaptor is put into one nostril and the machine will gently propel half the liquid through one's nasal canal, and it will drain out the other side. One then puts the adaptor in the other nostril and repeats the procedure on that side. This procedure is done while leaning over a sink. I then normally put more water into the tank and use the WaterPik on my teeth as it was originally intended, and I've helped my gum and dental health as well. My dental hygienist has made several comments about how much better my gums and teeth are when I go in for cleanings. The whole effort only takes about 5 minutes or so, including wiping everything dry. I normally do the irrigation once a day about an hour before bed, but if I happen to wake up with more than the usual congestion in the morning, I'll do it then as well.

Dr. Murray Grossan to the Rescue I thus started doing more research on other books and approaches, and in the course of this I came across a book by Dr. Murray Grossan called "The Sinus Cure- 7 Simple Steps". In a nutshell, Dr. Grossan's system worked. His book contains many technical explanations about sinusitis and how to deal with it. He clearly explains the reasons for the problem and suggests numerous remedies including diet considerations, home environmental improvements like duct cleaning and humidity control, and the most important aspect of the program: pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution. Wink

[size=large][b]This is the Easiest Way to Start, as You Have Everything Needed[/b][/size][hr]If the system works well and you want to continue to do nasal irrigation on a daily basis, I would suggest purchase of a pack of one dozen saline solution boxes, as the price is lower per box and there is only one shipping charge to pay. Of course one could still purchase a WaterPik at a retail store and buy the Dr. Grossan's adaptor and saline solution to work with it. For information about how to purchase these items, and also how to download a free ebook written by Dr. Grossan, follow the links at the end of this article.
