The area experiences four seasons with temperatures reaching the low 20s in winter and summer highs in the low 80s. If the change of seasons has your sinuses acting up and you need to see a local ear, nose and throat doctor, choose Dr. Stephen Salzer, M.D. of Greenwich ENT.

Remedies for Sinus Infections

Take a Decongestant: Over-the-counter decongestant medication can help relieve sinus pressure. They can also help shrink the swollen sinus tissue which will allow your sinuses to drain mucus. 


Sinus Rinse: Sinus rinses can help loosen up the mucus that is clogged in your nasal passage when you have a sinus infection. 


Antibiotics: It only makes sense for a doctor to give you antibiotics if you have a bacterial sinus infection, otherwise antibiotics will not help clear up your infection. 


Drink Lots of Fluids: Ingesting extra fluids helps loosen up the mucus causing your sinus infection. So be sure to drink plenty of water as you are fighting off the infection to help you be less congested. 


Use a Humidifier: Humidifiers will moisten the air around you which will also help with loosening up the mucus that is causing you to have a sinus infection. Another way to mimic a humidifier is to turn the shower on hot and shut the bathroom door to create a steam room.
