Use Sinus Cones at the First Hint of Sinus Congestion to Prevent Sinus Infection Recurrance
The most common cause of sinusitis, recurring sinus infections, is lingering swelling and congestion from the common cold.
Whether
congestion is due to the common cold, or nasal obstruction, by
using Sinus Cones at the first hint of stuffiness, nasal
passages are clear and open so that healthy sinus ventilation
and airflow is maintained.
The swelling and congestion that
accompany a viral upper respiratory infection may block the relatively
small sinus openings. Once these sinus openings are blocked,
normal sinus ventilation and sinus drainage is not possible.
When this happens, mucuous backs up and triggers the development of the sinus infection.
In many sinus sufferers, especially those with repeated infection,
there may be one of more preexisting conditions that contribute
to the problem - a deviated septum, nasal polyps,
or allergies. All of these cause narrowing of the nasal passages,
and blockage of the sinus openings, which increase the chances
of a viral cold progressing to a full-blown sinus infection.
Flying and Sinus
Cones-
Some people get severe sinus attacks following airplane flights
because of underlying problems with nasal drainage. When you
fly, you experience changes in air pressure. Pressure changes
can cause swelling of the sinus membranes and lead to inflammation
and, at times, to infection. If you have a cold, these problems
become worse. If you are restricted from using decongestants
or sprays, Sinus Cones™ relieve
the stuffiness by opening the nasal passages, so that airflow is
unhindered.
