How to quickly cure sinusitis at home

Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses located in the maxillary region is accompanied by thick green-yellow purulent discharge, headaches, fever and general weakness. The patient is tormented by nasal congestion and a feeling of fullness in the area where the soft tissues swell. You need to stop an acute attack with antibiotics and antiseptics, and you can treat the remaining symptoms of sinusitis at home.

Otolaryngologist: to go or not to go

People without a medical education are not able to make the correct diagnosis. Even if all signs indicate inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, the disease should be confirmed by an otolaryngologist. The doctor collects an anamnesis and sends the patient to an x-ray to check if the pus is stagnating. If the sinuses are clogged and their contents cannot go outside, the patient is sent a direction to the physiotherapy room, where the discharge is sucked off with a special apparatus. In addition, antibiotics and antiseptic washing solutions are prescribed to remove inflammation, antifungal or antiseptic if an infection is detected in the maxillary sinuses.

An allergy-related disease is treated with antihistamines. If necessary, the patient is prescribed painkillers. Alternative methods can alleviate the symptoms of sinusitis, but decoctions and other recipes should be combined with antibiotics and physiotherapy.

Heat against inflammation

When the disease is in an acute stage, you can not use bags of salt or eggs. Purulent discharge in the sinuses stagnates because the swelling does not allow them to go outside. Heat worsens the well-being of the patient and contributes to the spread of infection to neighboring organs: ears, brain or membrane. The patient risks becoming the owner of otitis media, encephalitis, or even meningitis.

You can warm up the maxillary sinuses when the swelling subsides, and the pus will flow out without obstacles. Heat treatment is recommended at the initial stage, or when the feeling of fullness disappears and the temperature normalizes. There are several options for warming up:

• quartz blue lamps;
• hot boiled eggs;
• sand, buckwheat or salt;
• warm compresses;
• clay or paraffin.

Black radish also has disinfecting and warming properties. Depending on the method, it will take from 10 or more procedures so that the disease recedes, and health improves.

Eggs and salt

The dry ingredient should be enough for two small bags the size of the maxillary sinus. Do not grease the pan with oil or water, heat it, and then pour sand or buckwheat into it. Stir until the product is hot. Salt should turn brownish, and buckwheat should be almost black.

Pour filler into bags or pieces of cloth that are pulled together with ropes so that the dry substance does not spill out. If the salt is too hot, wrap it in a terry towel. Apply to nose and hold for at least 15 minutes.

In a similar way, the maxillary sinuses are heated with boiled eggs. They are pulled out of the pan, wrapped in a towel and applied. You can also cool the product a bit, peel and roll over the problem areas until they cool. Any of the two options gives a good result.

Paraffin and Radish
If after normal warming up your health does not improve, it is recommended to try the option with paraffin. Melt the substance in a water bath and apply with a cooking brush to the maxillary sinuses. You should get a centimeter layer, which is covered with wax paper on top to make it easier to peel off and wrap with a woolen scarf. Lie with such a mask for about an hour, repeat daily.

An excellent remedy for inflammation in the maxillary sinuses is sold on the market - black radish. The root crop is not cleaned, they just wash away the dirt under running water. Grate the product to get a uniform mass. Take two small pieces of cotton fabric and put on them 2 tablespoons of porridge from radish. Tie in the form of bags and attach to the maxillary sinuses. Pre-lubricate the skin with vegetable oil or baby cream, because the juice burns strongly and causes irritation. Cover the bags with parchment paper and a woolen shawl. It will be hard to breathe, but you need to pat about 10-15 minutes.

The procedure is carried out before bedtime, because after the radish you can not go out into the cold and drafts. It is impossible for the juice to fall on the mucous membrane of the eye.

Flushing and compresses

Nasal passages must be cleaned before warming. The most common recipe consisting of a glass of boiled water, a teaspoon of table or sea salt, 3 drops of iodine and the same amount of propolis or calendula tincture.

• St. John's wort or yarrow;
• mint and lemon balm will do;

In the morning, remove the pulp, boil several potatoes in their uniforms and breathe over the steam. Repeat the procedure for 3 consecutive days, take a break for 4 days, and repeat if necessary.

To stimulate the discharge of pus, it is advised to try an ointment from a tablespoon of honey, in which 10 g of small table salt is added.
