Question 1

My sinuses are killing me and the pain is unbearable, especially when I lie down it feels like someone's smashing my nose with a hammer. My throat hurts too and there's so much pressure building up. I really don't want to go straight to surgery or antibiotics, are there any natural remedies that can help with this?

Accepted Answer

Sinus pressure occurs when the membranes that line your nasal passages become irritated or inflamed. Mucus may also build up and stop draining, leading to pain and pressure. Causes include colds, allergies and sinus infections. Taking over-the-counter medications and keeping your sinuses moist can help ease discomfort.

My sinuses hurt a lot, and sometimes there's discharge. I'm worried should I go for the surgery or are there other treatments? Some relatives say the surgery might cause future issues like more headaches is that possible? Could you advise?
