Patient discussion about Sinuses.

Q. My 21 year son has chronic sinus issues, I think, due to many high school sports injuries. Help! His ENT has recommended a "nose job" but our insurance will not cover it. Do you know of any holostic, nutritional or homeopathic solutions to keep this under control? When he gets a headache, it shuts him down and normally goes into a migraine.

A. Knows nothing about holystic treatment, but when I think about it, won't it be better to treat it definitely (more or less, I don't really know the situation) than postponing it with intermediate treatment? Have your tried to consult your docotr about that?

Q. sinus infection and Polups and I can't breath through my nose. What can I do?

A. You could also try to rub a little bit of vicks on your chest, throat, and a very small amount on you upper lip.

Q. How to cope with sinus infections during pregnancy as I found the infection. I have developed sinusitis while in middle school. It gets severe during winter.

How to cope with sinus infections during pregnancy as I found the infection difficult to handle before pregnancy…Are there any natural ways of cure?

A. You can manage with simple cold and cough for a day or two with simple procedure like steaming, use of mentholated product, saline drops etc. But if you are ill for more than two days with fever and several symptoms which you think cannot cope up, it is better to seek medical help. Treatment of sinus infection requires the use of medicine. There are medicines safe to be recommended during pregnancy and do follow the medicine with doctor’s advice.
