Saline Irrigation
Saline irrigations are an effective way to relieve sinusitis and its symptoms. It is one of the most common methods doctors recommend to their patients. It is important to note that saline irrigations are not a substitute for antibiotics. But this method might be your solution if you have tried all medications available over-the-counter and nothing seems to work.
Sniffling and running nose are two of the most common symptoms of sinusitis. Medical history shows that people suffering from this condition usually present with these two symptoms: a lot of mucus, even without inducing any effort, and a sensation of facial pressure that hinders breathing and makes swallowing difficult.
Saline irrigations help relieve these symptoms by draining out the mucus, which is either trapped inside the sinuses or accumulated in the throat. For this reason, saline solutions are also recommended to treat diseases like asthma and bronchitis, with excessive mucus build-up in the respiratory tract.
