Do you get sinus headaches?

by

goldenrod.jpgHere’s how to treat them:

Typically, I get sinus headaches with allergies in seasonal changes. With these hints and tips, your sinus headaches will lessen:

*Avoid smoke, other inhaled irritants, and allergens, such as animal dander.
*Add moisture to the air with a humidifier or a vaporizer, unless you have mold allergy (mold may grow in your vaporizer).
* Inhale steam from a basin of hot water or shower to relieve pain.
* Put warm, most washcloths on your face.
* Use decongestants as directed. Never use nonprescription nasal spray decongestants for more than 3 days. After 3 days they may cause your symptoms to get worse.
* Get plenty of rest and drink a lot of water.
* Elevate your head in bed, but only slightly.
* Take all of your medicine as prescribed.
