Are you experiencing terrible pain in the forehead, nose and the cheekbones? If yes, it might be a case that you are suffering from sinus pain which is caused due to the inflammation as well as the pressure created in the sinus cavities. The pain becomes a lot more severe with the movements such as bending or lying down. The pain is at its peak in the morning because of the collection of mucus during the night.

Before you turn to antibiotics in order to get the needed relief, have a look at some of the natural and easy remedies to ease the congestion caused by the sinus:

1. Flush the nasal passage

The saline wash and sprays are known for the remedial effect against sinus pain as they help by flushing out the nasal passages. The researches conducted by medical practitioners consider saline washes as the first line of defence against sinus pain. 

2. Hot and cold compresses

This is one of the best remedies for treating the headache caused due to sinus. When you apply the hot compresses on the sinus area, it eases the pressure as well as loosens the collection of thick mucus in the region. On the application of the cold compress, the patient gets relief from the sinus pain as the cold compress constricts the blood vessels in the sinus area. 

3. Ginger

Ginger is one ingredient which is known for having anti-inflammatory properties that help in the reduction of swelling. Also, the pain-relieving properties of ginger help in getting relief from the congestion and pressure created in the sinus region. Include ginger in your regular cooking for the best results. 

4. Drink liquids

Staying hydrated helps in keeping the sinuses moist. Drink a lot of water during the entire day, but stay away from caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. It is advisable to drink at least an eight-ounce glass of water on a daily basis to keep sinus pain at bay. 

5. Sleep with an elevated head

When you experience sinus pain, make sure that your head is elevated at the time you go to sleep. You can put a few pillows for achieving the said elevation. This position will aid in easy breathing by draining out the mucus, which causes pressure in the sinus region. 

6. Take steam regularly

The hot water vapour is known for moistening the sinuses. Use menthol or eucalyptus oil drop in the shower and use steam in the bathroom. The hot steamy bath can help in loosening up the debris and the mucus which is stuck inside the nose.
