<p><strong>Acute Sinusitis: Home Remedies</strong></p>
<p>Simple home remedies for acute sinusitis include:</p>
<p>1. Apply warm compresses many times in a day to cheeks, around your nose, and eyes to ease facial pain.</p>
<p>2. Drink lots of fluids like water or juice. This dilutes mucous secretions and promotes drainage.</p>
<p>3. Restrict beverages containing caffeine as they dehydrate your body.</p>
<p>4. Do not drink alcohol as it deteriorates swelling of sinus linings and nose.</p>
<p>5. Take a hot shower to ease body pain.</p>
<p>6. Steam your sinus cavities. Breathe in steam from a bowl of hot water keeping head and face covered. Steam should be directed on to your face. This improves sinusitis and relieves headaches. Repeat two to four times a day.</p>
<p>7. Take rest. This helps body fight away infection and you recover fast.</p>
<p>8. Sleep with more cushions and pillows under your head. The elevated position drains your sinus and reduces congestion.</p>
<p>9. Avoid temperature extremes and sudden changes in temperature. Also avoid bending down or forward.</p>
<p>10. Rinse nasal passages with specially designed neti pot, squeeze bottle, or bulb syringe. Clean irrigation device after use and dry it before next use.</p>
