Sinus Infection Symptoms

Sinus Infection Symptoms

Sinus infection symptoms include:
• Headache
• Pain
• Upper jaw and tooth ache
• Tenderness around the nose, forehead and cheeks
• Swelling and pressure around the eyes
• Ear ache and infection
• Fever
• Weakness or fatigue
• A cough, runny nose or nasal congestion

Sinus infection symptoms are caused by inflammation and blockage of the sinus cavities. Sinuses are hollow pockets of air located on either side of the nose, behind and in-between the eyes, and in the forehead. The sinuses produce mucus that cleans and moistens the membranes of the nose and throat. Each sinus has an opening into the nose that allows for free exchange of mucus and air. Sinus infection symptoms result when these openings get plugged. As mucus and pressure build in the sinuses, a perfect breading ground for bacterial growth is produced.
Sinus infection symptoms are usually treated with an antibiotic, various nasal sprays, or other medication. Because sinus infection symptoms are common and chronic for many individuals, preventative measures are often used to avoid the discomfort and pain usually associated with a sinus infection. Simple activities, using a humidifier and regularly cleansing nasal passages, for example, can greatly decrease your chances of experiencing sinus infection symptoms.
Xlear™ Nasal Wash is a patented, non-addictive nasal spray designed to aid in the relief and management of sinus infection caused by pollutants, allergens and infections of the nasal passages. Unlike other nasal sprays that can actually aggravate a sinus infection if overused, Xlear Nasal Wash contains only natural ingredients and is non-habit forming. It is the ONLY nasal wash that combines the unique properties of the natural substance, Xylitol, and the health-promoting practice of a saline nasal spray to help wash, hydrate and moisturize the nasal passages. Xylitol is one of bacteria's natural enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and throat. Unlike most antibiotics which kill the majority of bacteria and leave the resistant, super bacteria behind, Xlear Nasal Wash merely flushes harmful bacteria away.
The makers of Xlear Nasal Wash, Xlear Inc., have also developed a number of other products, based on pure Xylitol, which will greatly improve the quality of your life. To find our more, visit Xlearinc.com. Put the power of Xylitol to work for you and start feeling better today!
