HOW TO RELIEVE SINUS PRESSURE
If you’re wondering how to relieve sinus pressure, you’re not alone.
Sinus conditions affect countless people in Wesley Chapel, Florida, and beyond, causing dull and disruptive pain behind the eyes, around the forehead, and sometimes even in teeth.
Treatment
Fortunately, this common problem has several solutions, and many can be tried in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few steps you can take to help relieve sinus pressure:
- Take an over-the-counter sinus medication that is formulated to relieve sinus pressure and headaches. Be sure to follow dosage instructions carefully.
- Increase your exposure to humidity by taking plenty of steamy showers and using a humidifier.
- Drink lots of fluids and avoid sinus triggers, such as flying or spending extended periods of time outdoors.
- Relax and alternate placing a warm, wet towel and an ice pack on your forehead to help loosen pain-causing mucus.
Unfortunately, not all cases of sinus pressure can be relieved with home remedies and over-the-counter medication. Some people may require care from a sinus specialist, or an otolaryngologist, if their symptoms persist despite these methods. If you live in the Wesley Chapel, FL, area and want to find meaningful relief from your sinus pressure, turn to board-certified otolaryngologist Dr. Brett Scotch and the rest of our team at Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat. We offer the latest advances in sinus care, including minimally invasive balloon sinuplasty procedures and PolypVac® technology.
