[size=4][b]Sinus Treatments - How Do I Get Rid of Acute Sinus Pain? - Say Goodbye to Acute Sinus Pain[/b][/size][hr]Here are some useful tips to bid adieu to acute sinus pain. First, let's analyze whether it is a chronic or a simple case of sinus. There are three major divisions of sinusitis - acute, sub-acute and chronic. Acute is basically bacterial in origin and lasts for less than four weeks, sub acute types last for four to twelve weeks, chronic more than 12 weeks. They are left over symptoms caused by cold or flu.

[list][*]Conclusion Finally it all boils down to having a healthy lifestyle.[*]Take ample supplements to stay healthy.[*]As recommended by researchers - Vitamin C: 1,000 to 2,000 mg. daily and Vitamin A: 10,000 I.U. daily can help you get rid of acute sinus pain.[/list]

[size=large][b]Symptoms of Acute Sinus[/b][/size][hr]See if you have the right symptoms of acute sinus pain, which include headache, fever, cough, postnasal drainage (yellow or green in colour), nasal congestion, hampered smell, facial pain, and change in body temperature, sever headache in the mornings are the symptoms we often find in this case. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Sinus Remedies. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Sinus Remedies. Big Grin.

[list][*]Sinus Buster is a capsaicin pepper based nasal spray for use in relieving the symptoms of sinus headaches and chronic sinus congestion.[*]Sinus Buster was created by self-defense instructor Wayne Perry.[*]Wayne had apparently suffered from severe chronic headaches, which he called cluster headaches.[*]These headaches caused Wayne to have horrible pain.[/list]

Wayne went to many doctors and had multiple tests to determine what was wrong. The doctors prescribed different medicines for him but nothing seemed to work. Wayne assumed that his chronic sinus headaches were related to his sinus congestion that he harbored in one side of his head for many years.

He was able to land television spots on shows such as Montel Williams, Maury Povich and Oprah Winfrey. One day when Wayne was doing a spot for a FOX News affiliate in his hometown, he came down with one of his cluster headaches. Barely able to stand up and in excruciating pain, Wayne decided the show must go on. He allowed the news reporter to spray the pepper spray into his face. We have used clear and concise words in this article on Sinus Buster to avoid any misunderstandings and confusions that can be caused due to difficult words. :o.

He suffered these cluster headache attacks several times a year while he was in his 20's but started having them several times a week once he turned 30. At this point he could barely perform his basic daily tasks. Quality is better than quantity. It is of no use writing numerous pages of nonsense for the reader. Instead, it is better to write a short, and informative article on specific subjects like Chronic Sinus. People tend to enjoy it more.

Although the pain was terrible as the pepper hit him in the face, as he coughed and choked on the pepper spray fumes, he realized that his headache had completely disappeared and that his sinuses had opened up. It is always better to use simple English when writing descriptive articles, like this one on Sinus Cavities. It is the layman who may read such articles, and if he can't understand it, what is the point of writing it?

[size=large][b]At this Point, Wayne Was Quite Worried about His Future and His Career[/b][/size][hr]As a self-defense instructor, he was having difficulty performing properly. One of his favorite tricks was to give self-defense classes in front of live audiences and at the end of the seminar he would agree to be sprayed in the face with real police pepper spray. Smile

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.

[size=large][b]Other Medications[/b][/size][hr]For many people the nasal irrigation system will be enough to control your sinus problems. Those of us with particularly significant sinusitis may need to supplement this with medications, and I use Flonase before going to bed each night as well. If I feel like I'm on the verge of a sinus infection I might take some zyrtec (an antihistimine) or if an infection seems imminent, I have my silver bullet, which is prednisone. I don't use much of the latter, however, as there can be side affects with this steroid. My doctor usually prescribes 10 pills of 20 mg each, and these last for about a year. I never take a whole pill and usually take 5 mg or 10 mg maximum at a time for a day or two. I'm told this is a reasonable amount and nothing to worry about. Speaking of bad side effects, prior to discovering Dr. Grossan's system, sometimes desperate for relief, I used an over-the-counter spray called afrin. The warnings on the label say to use this product for only 4 days or less. This medication can damage the cilia in one's sinuses and cause permanent damage if used too much. As frequent users know, there is also an effect called rebound congestion, so after using it you might end up just as congested as when you started. Thus, people are tempted to continue using it, and it is said to become addictive. Dr. Grossan simply recommends that you throw your afrin into the garbage and stay away from it. I have not used it for years now and am glad to be rid of it.

[size=large][b]Tried Various Approaches for Years[/b][/size][hr]Throughout my years with significant sinus problems, I had read a number of books and tried different products and approaches. One author I read early-on was not very encouraging. He said that certain things aggravated sinus problems, and one should simply stop eating chocolate, cheese and other dairy products. Also, he said that in order to be cured there could simply be no drinking of alcoholic beverages either. Sorry, he said, but that's the way it has to be. For a person who lived in France and who has come to enjoy the excellent wine and numerous cheese varieties, this was awful. What kind of a life would I have without drinking wine and eating cheese? At that point I did have to stop drinking, as even one glass of wine could be enough to trigger an infection almost every time. After six months of this I got sick of drinking soda and non-alcoholic beer, which tastes pretty bad. In fact I was ridiculed in a restaurant in France when I ordered a Buckler's , which is Heineken's nonalcoholic beer. The French owner asked my why I would order such a ridiculous beverage with his excellent meal, and I explained I had sinus problems. He replied that he bad sinus problems too, and he got headaches every day, but nothing would stop him from drinking red wine! I actually admired his attitude, but the headaches were too painful, and I felt like I was on the search for "Lorenzo's oil", like the father in the movie of the same title that needed a certain rare oil to cure his son. It was also through this author, an ENT specialist, that I first heard about nasal irrigation, but the system suggested did not work well. He sold a saline solution, but it was too strong and caused a burning sensation in my nose. He suggested a sort of long-nosed pot called a Neti pot to use to pour the solution into each nostril. This approach did not work nearly as well as the system suggested by Dr. Grossan (see below), and I was wrongly convinced that nasal irrigation was not effective. It makes a big difference how the irrigation is done and with what kind of equipment and saline solution. :o.

[size=large][b]Best of Luck to All Sinusitis Sufferers[/b][/size][hr]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. Writing about Sinusitis Cure is an interesting writing assignment. There is no end to it, as there is so much to write about it! Wink

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.

[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.

[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. Keep your mind open to anything when reading about Sinus Problems. Opinions may differ, but it is the base of Sinus Problems that is important.

[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. Accept the way things are in life. Only then will you be able to accept these points on Sinusitis. Sinusitis can be considered to be part and parcel of life.

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. Ignorance is bliss they say. However, do you find this practical when you read so much about Sinuses?
