Sinus Pain

By Aneron Kepasil


The symptoms of Sinusitis are capable of turning anyone's bright day into a dreary one. The main symptoms of Sinusitis are usually a runny or stuffy nose that is accompanied by pressure and pain in the face. Movement of the head will often worsen this experience. You may also see a greenish or yellow discharge when blowing your nose or even from the back of your throat when you cough up. If all of that wasn't enough, another commonly reported symptom is having a reduced sense of taste and smell.

However, we're not perfect and may catch it regardless, so let's examine some common ways that we can treat the symptoms of Sinusitis. Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine and phenylpherine are good temporary remedies that help drain the sinuses. Prescribed inhalers, while not decongestants, assist in healing the sinus membranes. Over-the-counter nasal sprays like Dristan and Afrin are basically 'spray' versions of decongestants and can be used for a few days or so. Humidifiers or sprays that contain salt water in them will 'melt' the infected sinuses away (so to speak).

Treating Sinusitis and treating the pain that can be a symptom of sinusitis can be two different matters. Sinus pain can be severe and in some cases even temporarily debilitating. Methods of treating this pain include over-the-counter pain relievers (especially NSAIDS, as they act as an anti inflammatory as well as a pain reliever), heat applied to the area, steam and facial massage.

There are many remedies available to one suffering from sinus trouble. First of all its important to stay in a place where plenty of fresh air is available. The rooms where one stays should not be too cool or too warm. It is also important to undertake regular exercises so as to keep the body healthy. It is important to take plenty of cool liquids like water and fruit juices and to avoid alcohol intake or take it moderately. Inhaling hot water vapor is a welcome remedy so is being in hot compresses, saunas and even steam rooms.

Besides the tender nose, pressure in the forehead there is also the constant feeling that one's ears are stuffed or that something is pushing in the ear canal. Sinus sufferers often hear a crackling noise in their ears that must be from the mucus or the irritation in the sinus cavities. The ears don't usually hurt but the constant clearing and crackling noise is irritating and often leads to what could become a dangerous habit of inserting cotton swabs in the ear canal to try and clear out the obstruction.
