We may suffer from many different health issues but one that is frustrating and relatively common is an issue with sinusitis. This issue, also known as a sinus infection, is a problem that affects millions of people but most people don’t understand exactly what it is or how to treat it.
A sinus infection is actually a problem with inflammation that occurs as a result of a buildup of bacteria in the sinuses. As the lining walls of the sinuses inflame, it can lead to a variety of symptoms that are frustrating and at times, chronic. The following are some of the more common symptoms that you may experience as a result of sinus infection:
stuffed nose
headaches
a cough or congestion
fever
bad breath
loss of smell
fatigue.
A problem with sinusitis can occur in a variety of types, including the following:
Acute: It leads to cold-like symptoms, including a stuffy nose, a runny nose, facial pain that might last up to 2 weeks.
Subacute: It usually lasts for 4- 8 weeks.
Chronic: This inflammation might last for 8 weeks, and even longer.
Recurrent: It causes more attacks during the year.
Most people use some type of medication to treat sinusitis but it only provides temporary relief. At times, it may even worsen the symptoms.
The following homemade natural remedy can treat sinusitis as well.
