I get sinus infections chronically throughout the year. It's awful! I am in the middle of one now, and feel completely exhausted. I'm having the usual headaches and stuffy/runny nose, along with jaw/tooth pain, stomach pain and ear aches. I have talked to my doctor about it, and am going to have a CT scan of my sinuses to find out how badly damaged they are from all of these infections and hopefully we can do something about it!
Do you get sinus infections often? How do you cope? I've just been trying to sleep as much as possible and drink fluids while I wait for my antibiotics to work! Is there anything else I can do?

Hi there and smile!
Ginger is used for headaches and to get relief from nasal problems. It has anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties. Mostly, ginger extract is used for curing sinus infections. Prepare extract of ginger by grinding raw ginger and take 1-2 teaspoons daily until you get rid of sinusitis. In addition, one can also take ginger tea regularly.
Apart from these herbal remedies, natural therapy like steam bath is an effective cure for sinus infection. It stimulates the immune system that aids in early recovery from the infection. Also, the causal organisms are weakened or get killed at an elevated temperature. Drinking large amount of warm water and juice that is rich in proteins and vitamins also boost the immune system and help to get rid of sinus infection. One should avoid colds as far as possible, as it elevates sinus infection.
Happy mylotting and smile always!
