[size=4][b]Blowing Nose Sinusitis - How to Use a Neti Pot in Three Simple Steps[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:One nasal irrigation system which is widely used in the U.S. is the Neti Pot. Through the use of a small, strange-looking ceramic teapot, all the little nooks and crannies that you have in your sinuses are cleared of mucus. This nasal cleansing technique may feel strange when executed, but this natural method of medical treatment may be more effective than medication. This is because it mechanically flushes out the main cause of sinusitis that sticks into the nasal cavities - the mucus.

[size=large][b]Step One: Prepare the Saline Solution[/b][/size][hr]Mix about one pint (or 16 ounces) of lukewarm water with one teaspoon of salt. Then fill the Neti Pot with the saline solution. For some people, putting half a teaspoon of baking soda into the solution makes it gentler on the nose.

[list][*]Since the solution is going to flow through your nasal cavity, it is possible that the fluid is going to run into your throat.[*]Just in case this happens, simply spit it out.[/list]

[list][*]Step Three: Nasal Cleansing on the Second Nostril Blow your nose to empty it of any remaining saline solution.[*]Refill your Neti Pot and repeat the process described on Step Two for your other nostril.[/list]

When you have a sinus infection, the mucus membranes get inflamed and infected, and the secretions of your sinuses become excessively sticky. If not washed out of your sinuses, this causes headaches, facial pain, and clogged nasal passages. Saltwater thins the mucus, or the sticky secretions, to help flush it out of your nasal passages. It reduces the size of the inflamed tissues by drawing out the excess moisture. When the inflamed tissues get smaller, the openings of the sinuses get bigger. This, in turn, makes the mucus, together with the bacteria, allergens, and other irritants that cause sinus problems, drain better. Self-praise is no praise. So we don't want to praise ourselves on the effort put in writing on Sinusitis Infection. instead, we would like to hear your praise after reading it!

[i]Remember, it is still advisable that you consult your family doctor, or an ear, nose, and throat specialist before trying this nasal irrigation treatment on your own. Smile[/i]

Why does it need to be lukewarm water with salt? Using regular water can be irritating to your sinuses. If you use cold water, it may make you feel that you are drowning in a pool.

[size=large][b]It a Sinus Infection or a Common Cold?[/b][/size][hr]Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the difference. Infection or inflammation of the sinuses also known as sinusitis affects millions of people every year and in many instances causes serious discomfort or pain. The symptoms of sinus infections actually depend upon which of the four sinuses are affected and whether or not the sinus infection is acute or chronic. Acute sinusitis normally lasts eight weeks or less or occurs no more than three times per year with an average episode lasting less than ten days. Chronic sinusitis on the other hand normally lasts longer than eight weeks or occurs more than four times per year with symptoms usually lasting longer than twenty days.

Symptoms of chronic sinus infection include chronic soar throat, chronic nasal discharge, bad breath, prolonged facial pain, discomfort below the eyes or across the bridge of the nose, toothaches and low-grade headaches.

[list][*]Sinusitis appears when the nasal membrane gets affected by pollutants, cold or dry air and becomes inflamed.[*]Secondary the cilia will slow down their movements, and mucus will be mass produced in order to eliminate the accumulated bacteria.[*]Because cilia are not working properly the mucus will be trapped in the sinuses and cause a local infection.[*]Sometimes even the fact that the secretions are thick can cause sinusitis.[*]In rare cases a tumor can block the sinuses causing a local obstruction.[*]At home the patient is recommended to drink warm fluids, to apply wet bandages on the face and to make steam inhalations.[*]The doctor will prescribe the patient oral decongestants, and mucus thinning agents.[*]Besides this anti-biotherapy is needed in order to stop the infection that has caused sinusitis.[*]The doctor might try more types of antibiotics until he finds the right one as he can not know which bacteria has caused your infection.[*]Also, cortisone sprays might be helpful as they improve the drainage of the sinuses.[*]Treatment must be followed at least 10 days otherwise the sinus infection might come back after a few days.[/list]

Those who smoke a lot and who have a weakened immune system are more exposed to sinusitis and infections than others. A person who has fever, headaches, facial pain and pressure, colored nasal discharge, and even problems with the vision for more than 10 days must go to the doctor and ask for a treatment because left untreated, sinusitis can cause pneumonia, ear infection, bronchitis and even bone infections.
