Sinusitis

Sinus pressure getting to you?


Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often caused by an infection or allergies, leading to symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, pressure around the eyes or forehead, and a reduced sense of smell. It can be acute or chronic, affecting your daily life. 


Mahalo enables you to consult with healthcare professionals online, providing you with expert advice and treatment strategies to manage and alleviate sinusitis symptoms, ensuring you receive timely and effective care from the comfort of your home.

Precautions


  • Use saline nasal irrigation to help clear nasal passages and reduce congestion. You can use a saline nasal spray or a neti pot to rinse your sinuses with a saline solution.
  • Apply warm compresses to your face to help relieve pain and pressure in your sinuses. You can use a warm, damp towel or a heat pack.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal tea, or clear broth, to help thin mucus and keep your nasal passages moist.

 

Common Medications


  • Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) or phenylephrine (Sudafed PE)
  • Nasal corticosteroids such as fluticasone (Flonase) or mometasone (Nasonex)
  • Antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin) or cetirizine (Zyrtec)
  • Antibiotics, when appropriate
