I have a sinus problem that's affecting my ears, head, and nose?!


Question:

I have a sinus problem that's affecting my ears, head, and nose?

When my nose isn't plugged up, my ears start to and then I hear them plugging up(as if I was in an air plane) I also feel as if something is in my head. I can tell whatever liquid it is, it's moving, because sometimes it's in my nose, and sometimes it isn't. I've tried Sudafed Sinus Pressure tablets they don't work.

Answers:

The first thing you need to do is dilute the mucous in your head by drinking a lot of water (2 to 3 liters a day) and avoiding dairy products (which can thicken mucous).

Also consider trying Saline nasal spray (the commercially available strengths) to keep your nasal passages lubricated to be able to easily get rid of this liquid.

Second, when you cough or sneeze or blow your nose to expel some of the liquid, if it is at all yellow or greenish then you are dealing with a sinus infection that may require medicine to get over.

Tip: Sleep on your side so that you can at least breathe through one side of your nose.
