If you start to feel a stuffy nose, you likely know what lies ahead. Before long, you feel a lot of sinus pressure and you cannot drain them properly. Perhaps you feel a headache from either the intense nose blowing or general congestion<\/a>. You most likely have a sinus infection<\/strong>, or one has begun to brew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is A Sinus Infection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A sinus infection<\/a>, or sinusitis, is the inflammation of tissues in the sinuses. Your sinuses are the spaces in your forehead, cheeks, and nose typically filled with air. A sinus infection can cause facial pain, stuffy or runny nose, and occasional fever. More often than not, you can attribute a sinus infection to the common cold, but other viruses, fungi, bacteria, and allergies<\/a> can cause sinusitis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience long-term sinus infections, then you may have forgotten what it\u2019s like to breathe properly. Is one nostril always clogged? There is no need to live with blocked sinuses, especially when there are many natural remedies<\/strong> that can relieve sinus pressure<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is It Sinusitis, COVID-19, A Cold, Or An Allergy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Colds, allergies, sinus infections, and COVID-19 have very similar symptoms<\/a>. The common cold typically builds, peaks, and then slowly disappears. It can last anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. Nasal allergies cause itchy eyes and nose, sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and postnasal drip<\/a>. Allergies don\u2019t tend to cause the same facial pain the sinus infections do. Additionally, COVID-19 tends to cause symptoms like shortness of breath and fever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to avoid over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and experiment with natural remedies to help promote healthy sinuses<\/a>, experiment with essential oils. The following remedies can help with nasal decongestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
