You may have sinusitis if you
suffer from:
- Symptoms of upper respiratory infection lasting
10 days or more
- Facial pressure or pain
- Nasal discharge that is yellow or green
- Post-nasal drip
- Cough
At-home treatments for sinusitis include:
- Saline nasal sprays that moisturize the
nasal cavity, reduce dryness, and help clear thick or crusty mucus
- Humidification (moisturizing the air) of living
spaces in dry climates will aid the movement of mucus through the sinuses
A physician visit for your sinus pain will:
- Determine if you have an infection
requiring an appropriate antibiotic
- Discover if you require extensive medical
treatment for a condition such as a nasal obstruction
