Added advice
Pass on the following advice to help customers stay congestion-free and breathe easy:
- Keep nasal passages moist by using sea water or saline sprays or washes
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Use steam inhalation. A hot steamy shower or a vaporiser may help
- Do not smoke and avoid smoky atmospheres
- Be scrupulous about personal hygiene. Cover the nose and mouth when sneezing; wash hands regularly; discard used tissues immediately
- Raise the head of the bed a few inches or use extra pillows to ease any breathing difficulties.
Don't forget!
Sinusitis is normally caused by a viral infection, so most people with the condition won't need to see their GP as it will clear up on its own. However, if symptoms are severe, don't improve within seven to 10 days, or are getting worse, additional treatment from a GP may be necessary.
