[size=4][b]Ethmoid Sinus Inflammation - Sinus Pressure Relief and Air Travel - 4 Steps to Take[/b][/size][hr]Many people have a tendency to come down with sinus infections during or after air travel. The four steps discussed in this article can help provide sinus pressure relief for those who travel by air on a regular basis.

[size=large][b]Use Saline Solution Often During the Flight[/b][/size][hr]It is wise to bring a small bottle of saline solution along and use it every hour or so to help keep the nose moist. Over the counter saline solutions all contain preservatives, and some people are bothered by these. It is possible to mix a solution yourself without preservatives and avoid this problem. One-half of a teaspoon of salt added to 8 oz. of water is a proper mixture. I personally use a product called Breathe-ease XL' for both nasal irrigation and for making a spray bottle without preservative, and this will be good to use for about a week. These saline sprays offer sinus pressure relief by keeping the nasal membranes irrigated and maintaining proper drainage. Our objective of this article on Chronic Sinus was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Chronic Sinus, and compare it with what we have printed here.

By realizing that the air in airplane cabins is stale, dry and often polluted, one can obtain sinus pressure relief by drinking lots of water before and during flights, using a saline spray, doing the Modified Valsalva maneuver as described above, and taking a decongestant prior to takeoff, especially on long trips. You should also try to simply avoid air travel if you have a cold and stuffiness prior to a trip. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Chronic Sinus projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.

[size=large][b]Consider Taking a Decongestant Before the Flight[/b][/size][hr]I generally use flonase spray each night as part of my regular regime to combat sinus problems. I'll also use it about an hour or two before any flight. On long flights to Europe, I'll also take 5 mg of prednisone. I find this keeps my nasal passages clear and functioning well, even though flights to Europe from the U.S. are long. Prednisone should be used very sparingly, however, as it can cause damage to the immune system, so this should be taken only in consultation with your doctor. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Sinus Treatment. that was our intention, to astonish you.

[size=large][b]Use the Modified Valsalva Maneuver[/b][/size][hr]Dr. M. Lee Williams describes the maneuver in his book 'The Sinusitis Help Book'. To do this one clamps the nose between the thumb and forefinger, swallows, and then immediately blows into the nose without letting go. One should not blow forcefully into the nose, a gentle pressure will suffice. Dr. Williams says that this should be done several times per minute during ascent and especially descent as cabin pressure is changing during those times. It should also be done several times per hour while the plane is at altitude. It is important not to forget to swallow just before blowing gently into the nose.

[size=large][b]Drink Lots of Water[/b][/size][hr]The air intake that occurs at very high altitudes to ventilate plane cabins contains very dry air. Drinking water prior to and during flights can help retain moisture in the body and keep the nasal system as moist as possible. In addition, alcohol and caffeine are often consumed by people on long flights, and these also tend to dehydrate people. Making an effort to drink water regularly on long flights can help avoid dryness of the nasal passages. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Sinus Pressure Relief. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Sinus Pressure Relief.

Quote:[i]Four suggestions to obtain sinus pressure relief in conjunction with air travel include: drinking lots of water before and during long flights; using a saline solution during the flight; doing the Modified Valsalva maneuver; and taking a decongestant before air travel.[/i]

[size=large][b]Someone Who Gets Sinusitis Really Wonders How to Get Rid of Sinus Pressure[/b][/size][hr]The blocking of sinus exits causes this pressure and can lead to pain. We have four pairs of sinus cavities in our skull and these are: maxillary which are located below the eyes, frontal these are located above the eyes, ethmoid they are located between the eyes and sphenoid sinuses which are located between the eyes. Every sinus has an opening into the nose.

[list][*]You should tell anybody who asks you how to get rid of sinus pressure to make his or her nose to run![*]This is the most important step towards clearing the unnecessary amount of mucus.[*]And unless and until this is not done, there can be no relief.[/list]

The answer to the question of how to get rid of sinus pressure is very simple to guess if one knows what causes it. If the sinus exits get unclogged and clear then the pressure will go. For this there are some very simple remedies, which are without side effects. The first one is that one should take as much liquid as he needs. Things like hot soups not only not only brings soothing feeling but also provide the body with enough amount of water to keep the nasal passages wet so that mucus gets regularly out through it. Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Sinusitis. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance.

How to get rid of sinus pressure becomes clear if one tries to discern the link between the blockages in the sinus exits as it feels to the patient and the pressure that is felt. The more severe the blockage, the more severe will be the pressure. It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Sinus Pressure if they are presented in an easy and clear way. The presentation of an article too is important for one to entice people to read it!

As sinusitis results from some infections, so before asking the question how to get rid of sinus pressure, one should ask how to get rid of the sinusitis itself. This is because the pressure is the symptom and not the malaise itself. Zinc treatment and nasal irrigation are two recent entrants into the field of sinusitis. Besides these, earlier remedies like steam inhalation and vaporizers are also too important to be not taken note of. We were actually wondering how to get about to writing about Sinus Disease. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!
