The Truth About Continuous Stuffy Nose and Sinus Medications
The majority of the time, the medications do not give them the relief they desire.
Let's get to the bottom of your symptoms before you waste another dime! Is your nose sealed so completely shut that you can only breathe out of your mouth? This is not only very uncomfortable but leads to chapped lips and a dry, sore throat.
Are you experiencing unbearable sinus pressure and sinus headaches? Is the discharge from your nose green or yellow instead of clear? Allergies and colds usually will not cause this kind of chronic nasal congestion.
That's why your over the counter medications, such as Tylenol Cold, Sudafed, Benadryl, etc are not working.
I'm sure you are aware that you shouldn't use Afrin and other nasal decongestant sprays.
They are harmful, not to mention habit forming.
But having a continuous stuffy nose is like dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean.
Everyone knows not to drink salt water, but it is so hard not to when you are that miserable! The neti pot has become very popular in recent years, but it is mainly beneficial for people with allergies.
It will not open your stuffy nose.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you probably have an infection in your sinus cavities around your nose and eyes.
Sinus infections are usually a result of an allergy or cold virus that was allowed to linger and fester too long.
The result is a severe stuffed up nose that will not go away.
In some cases, this could last for months.
