Use a neti pot or nasal spray to gently rinse each nostril.

Helps flush out mucus, allergens, and bacteria.

3. Warm Compress

Soak a clean cloth in warm water and apply it over your nose, forehead, and cheeks.

The warmth helps loosen mucus and relieve sinus pressure.

4. Hydration

Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, or clear broths to thin mucus and promote drainage.

Warm liquids, like ginger or chamomile tea, can also soothe inflamed sinuses.

5. Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

Mix 1–2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water with honey (optional).

Drink 1–2 times a day to help thin mucus and boost immune function.

6. Spicy Foods

Eating foods with chili, horseradish, or ginger can temporarily open nasal passages.

Use moderately if you have a sensitive stomach.

7. Elevate Your Head While Sleeping

Sleeping with your head slightly elevated helps sinuses drain naturally and reduces congestion.

8. Essential Oils for Relief

Peppermint, eucalyptus, or tea tree oil can be inhaled via steam or added to a diffuser.

These oils have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties to relieve sinus pressure.

Extra Tips

Avoid allergens and irritants like smoke, strong perfumes, and dust.

Use a humidifier in dry environments to prevent sinus irritation.

If symptoms persist more than 10 days, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, consult a healthcare professional.
