Tips To Help Fight Your Allergies

Do you suffer from sinus problems, or allergies?

Your sinuses are located behind your forehead, and on both sides of your nose. Mucus is created in your sinuses to remove harmful bacteria from your nose. However, colds, flu, and hay fever can all cause inflammation to the lining of your nasal passages. This causes discomfort, among other side effects.
Common ailments from allergies and sinusitis are:
  • Stuffy nose
  • Sore or scratchy throat
  • Coughing
  • Headaches
  • Facial pressure

When bacteria are introduced, this can lead to a sinus infection. If you have symptoms such as; thick congestion, cold symptoms lasting more than 10 days, high fever, tooth pain, you should contact your doctor. Sinus infection can be treated with antibiotics.

Fight Allergies
  • Healthy Diet
Eating fruits and veggies loaded with antioxidants, and vitamin C, can help combat allergies, and also make symptoms less severe. Eliminate sugars and processed foods to boost your immune system. 

  • Exercise
A simple walk can help circulate the blood, and boost your immune system. This can help lessen the allergy symptoms. Drink plenty of water before and after exercise. Be sure to shower before bed to remove any air pollutants, and wash your sheets weekly. 

  • Nasal Spray and/or Neti Pot
Saline nasal spray is a good way to keep your nose clean, and clear out harmful bacteria. Nasal irrigation can be done with a Neti Pot filled with water and salt, and is poured in one nostril and drains out the other. The flow of salt water through the nasal passage flushes the dirt, airborne allergens (dust and pollen), pollutants and bacteria-filled mucus. For more on Neti Pot.

  • Cool mist humidifier
Keep the air at about 40-50 % humidity. Low humidity levels help ensure that dust mites and mold cannot thrive, and is linked to reduced indoor air pollution, but high humidity is far more comfortable for the tissues of the throat and nasal passages. 

  • Get plenty of liquids; stay hydrated with water, herbal tea, and thin broth.

For pain: use heating pads or hot towels along eyebrows and in between eyes.

Get Minty- Some people say popping a Mentos or Altoid can relieve sinus pressure immediately.


If you are still suffering, see an allergist. You may be suffering from food allergies. You may also benefit from allergy shots, or medication.
