Every
time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at
least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below
are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph.
Drink
plenty of fluids
Run
a humidifier or vaporizer
Use
saline solution and or a Neti Pot
(make
your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1
pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.)
Steam!
Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use
Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel
over your head and put your head over the pot.
Chicken
Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup
reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and
colds.
Warm
& Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across
your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with
a cold compress for 30 seconds. Do this 2-3 times and you can repeat
2-6 times a day.
