I used to get sinusitis all the time - it was terrible! Horrible face aches and green snot - YUCK! I used to miss so much school because I was always so ill with a face full of snot :( I went into hospital to have a few sinus washes (they clean out the sinuses for you) and that seems to have cleared it up. I haven't had it since I was a teenager :)

Sinusitis - Sinusitis
I used to suffer from it at certain times but then the Doctor told me to get a nasal wash. It is a plastic type bottle and I fill it with warm salty water and spray in each nostril. Although this is not the most pleasant thing, at least it does clean and I have found that since using it, I haven't had a problem. It was severe before starting on this treatment and I would get awful headaches plus feel like I continually had to blow my nose. Of course a lot of people suffer a lot worse than I did, or else they have surgery to correct the proble, but I found that this works for me. And best of all, I didn't need to have surgery to find relief from a very painful condition.

no i never got it but i kno abt it as a medico The sinuses f the head make mucus, a fluid that cleans bacteria and other particles out of the air you breathe. Tiny hairs called cilia (say: “sill-ee-ah”) sweep mucus out of your sinuses so it can drain out through your nose. Sinusitis (say: “sine-you-site-iss”) is the name for a condition in which the lining of your sinuses becomes inflamed. Anything that causes swelling in your sinuses or keeps the cilia from moving mucus can cause sinusitis. This can occur because of changes in temperature or air pressure. Using decongestant nasal sprays too much, smoking, and swimming or diving can also increase your risk of getting sinusitis
