Nasal Congestion & Sinus Pressure Relief: Tips & Remedies | Vicks Sinex

Suffering from sinus congestion is no fun at all. Here are some tips on how to alleviate sinus pressure. The sinuses are a system of cavities in your skull that can become inflamed when you have a cold or allergies. The congestion and pressure happens most in the eyes, forehead, and cheeks. There are several things you can do to feel better. Give yourself a sinus relief massage by applying moderate pressure with your fingers. Prep a bowl of medium hot water, then drape a towel over your head as you breathe in the steam, or take a shower. Either will help ease congestion and drain mucus. Some people find that spicy foods like peppers or hot mustard may help to open up their nasal passages, relieving some of the congestion and pressure. Over-the-counter medications, such as Sinex liquid caps, can alleviate sinus congestion, pressure, and pain. Sinex nasal sprays also provides fast congestion and pressure relief. Clear your sinuses and relax, because we all know it's hard to rest when you have too much going on in your head.
