Hi, is there a permanent cure for sinusitis? My wife suffers considerably from this problem, and I am looking for a more permanent solution, even alternative treatments. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Sinusitis is due to inflammation of nasal passage making it difficult for you breathe in. The best cure would be decongestants, nasal inhalers which are available over the counter or prescription inhalers. All these do offer immediate but temporary relief. So if you want a permanent cure you should identify the cause - it could be pollutants, pollen grains, stuffy or dusty environment etc. Try and avoid these - for after all prevention is the best cure ever!

Thanks Busy Bee, it is not the breathing that is the problem, it is the terrible headaches. Decongestants and other medications help, but are temporary. We are doing our best at the prevention level, but not much success.

As busy bee says ….if your wife is suffering from sinusitis then she should be having breathing problem and heaviness of the head……If she is getting severe headaches then she might be suffering from migraine…. And as u know there is no know cure for migraine in allopathic treatment……..You can try out ayurveda or homeopathy……it might help.

Hi,
I agree with Island Hopper. The worst part of sinusitis is the headaches, and the general irritation. Compared to this, the breathing problem is minor, though it does play its part in the general discomfort.
Rather than a try this or try that, I would like to get feedback about treatments that really work, from those who have tried it. I am a sufferer, and I am tired of all the pills I have to take.

A migraine headache occurs on side of the head - very often every migraine suffered knows that this happens alternately. If you had a migraine attack that affected your right side, the next attack would most probably occur on the left side. It is easy to distinguish between migraine head aches and head aches due sinusitis. In sinusitis it is not merely the head that aches - it is also accompanied by facial pain especially across the cheek. While head ache is a mere symptom - a complete cure could be had only after the problem of sinusitis is resolved for which one has to maintain a diary of such attacks to know whether it is allergic sinusitis or due to any internal causes. A physician should be able to advice you on this.
