Question By: There are many things you can do to lower your chance of developing sinusitis or to relieve early sinusitis symptoms. It is important to keep nasal passages clear. Here are some suggestions:
1. Bathe your nasal passages daily
Run water gently into the nasal passages to help clear extra mucus and moisten membranes. (See "First line of defense: Nasal irrigation.") Best times to do it are in the morning and at night, when you brush your teeth.
2. Drink plenty of water
Good hydration aid keep the mucus thin and loose. drink a bottle of water at your desk at work or put a glass near the kitchen sink to remind you to drink water throughout the day.
3. Inhale steam
Stay in a hot shower. Or bring water to a boil and cascade it into a pan; place a towel over your head, and carefully bend over the pan to inhale the steam. To avert burns, keep your distance at first and move in gradually to a cozy zone.
4. Avoid dry environments
A humidifier in your home (in particular, by your bed) and where you work can help forbid nasal passages from drying out. Keep humidifiers clean and free of bacteria and mold.
5. Sleep with your head elevated
Mucus pools in your sinuses at night when your head is down, so have your head carry up with pillows or a wedge during sleep.
