My daughter has extremely troublesome sinuses and chronic infection. Her eent has advised her for years to irrigate regularly with a saline solution, and it certainly has minimized her problem. Another, medically suggested approach is to use a solution of hydrogen peroxide, which is as excellent topical antibacterial. You might want to ask your eent about that one!
my daughter had the worst case of ongoing cyclic sinus infections. It even seemed to cause knee aches for her sometimes, ear aches.

Stated using the cheap little nasal aspirator for babies,about 5 times per day, for starters, when infection is bad.
The repeating cycle of infections went away , giving her some very slight difficulty only once or twice a year.

the best way is to never force the water, or you may get a banging headache.

Important: body temp water, so the cilia are not impaired in function by hot or cold water.

also, keep rinsing until the water can run in one nostril and out the other. it helps ease discomfort during flushing if you keep your mouth open, I think

best of success ! we're now at 8 years free of trouble !

So.

Try a nasal steroid (nasonex or flonase). As a person who has idiosyncratic reactions to some common medicines (not allergies), I've never had a problem with this med. It reduces sinus inflammation.

Saline irrigation of sinuses can clear them out, but it does nothing to deal with the underlying problem.




Yes I have tried generic equivalent of flonase. It really helped me you can find it at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is a public section on nervous circulation here
http://books.google.com/books?id=p8IsAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA239&ots=LW624OWDEt&dq=nervous%20circulation&pg=PA653#v=onepage&q=nervous%20circulation&f=true

Ever since I reached my teens I get an annual headache or 5 from hell either durring the Winter to Spring transition or the Fall to winter transition. Whenever this happens I get a bottle of Nasacort from my doc and use it for about a month and have no problem again till next term. I've recieved facial xrays and the doctor's found nothing. However durring my wisdom teeth 360 X-ray it was discovered that my nasal passages are extraordinarily small. Nasacort is a nasal steroid and reduces the swelling theoretically, I find it works very well, within a few minutes even and I dont need to use it all year.

Additionally, these episodes of intense pressure that even show up as red on my face where my nasal cavities are have been diagnosed as chronic sinus infections.
