Sinusitis - a fairly common disease, which is accompanied by inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. Often, it occurs with ARVI, flu, scarlet fever and measles. Infectious diseases are the most frequent pathogens of sinusitis, therefore, its treatment is aimed primarily at relieving inflammation and strengthening immunity.
Traditional methods of treatment of sinusitis
Sinusitis is equally characteristic for different ages, but its treatment differs depending on the age of the person.
Treatment of sinusitis in children
If the child has caught a cold and has been diagnosed with sinusitis, it is better to use a combination treatment: taking medications and folk remedies. The fact that the child's immunity differs from an adult in its vulnerability, so rely only on the protective functions of the body and the strength of herbs can not.
To facilitate the state of the child will help tea from the hips. To do this, take 2 handfuls of fruit and pour them 2 liters of water, and then cook for 1.5 hours. This drink is rich in vitamin C, and if it is sweetened with sugar or honey, it will become a source of glucose, which gives the body extra energy.
Another good remedy for sinusitis is inhalation. Brew chamomile and calendula in a small container, and after boiling put in a cool place for 5 minutes so that the inhalation is not excessively intense: the mucous membranes are very sensitive, and if they are overheated, you can achieve the opposite effect. Inhalation should be carried out for 10 minutes, but it is not recommended for children under 4 years. If a child has acute sinusitis with fever, then treatment with folk remedies should not include inhalation.
Treatment of sinusitis in adults
Unlike children, adults can tolerate sharp odors, so for their treatment you can use a powerful antibacterial agent - garlic.
Treatment of sinusitis with garlic and vinegar. Take the head of garlic, chop it through a meat grinder and pour boiling water (0.5 liters). Add 1 dessert spoon of apple cider vinegar and mix well. Then, covering your head with a towel, inhale the steam for 10 minutes. If the water is cold, you need to add boiling water (the remedy should warm up the nasal sinuses). Carry out this procedure several times a day, and the last before going to bed, after which immediately go to bed.
Treatment of sinusitis with propolis. Propolis is an effective remedy for many diseases, because its substances contribute to strengthening the immune system. Eat every day up to 15-20 g of propolis, to strengthen the protective functions of the body.
Treatment of sinusitis in pregnancy
Pregnant women do not want high temperatures and use of products that cause allergies. Therefore, when pregnant for the treatment of sinusitis, it is recommended to use aloe juice: clean the plant leaf from the needles and squeeze out the juice from the pulp. Bury the product in the nose several times a day: aloe juice removes inflammation and has a slight antibacterial property, so it is recommended to use it together with medications.
Treatment of chronic sinusitis with folk remedies
One of the most effective means for treating chronic sinusitis is onion juice. Take half the bulb, grind it and squeeze out the juice. Then dilute it with 1 tbsp. warm water and drip into your nose.
From chronic sinusitis, inhalations with potatoes, if conducted daily at night, wrapped in a warm blanket, will certainly help. Cook potatoes, drain and rastolkite it. Cover your head with a wide towel and gently inhale hot vapors so as not to burn yourself, but warm the sinuses well.
All thermal procedures can not be carried out with purulent inflammation and fever.
