How to Treat Nasal Infection

Sinusitis is an inflammation of your sinuses, which are cavities in your forehead and face that serve various purposes. One of these purposes is to produce mucus to trap and get rid of pathogens and other foreign bodies. Sometimes your sinuses become inflamed, often due to an infection, and this inflammation can keep mucus from draining as it’s supposed to. This condition is sinusitis.

Nasal polyps, changes in atmospheric pressure, or dental infection may also cause sinusitis. While natural remedies are somewhat limited in efficacy (particularly against bacterial infections), they may be able to reduce your symptoms or prevent the sinusitis from worsening.
