If you’re looking for sinus medication, you’ll be glad to know that there are lots of options for you. The most important thing is to alleviate the symptoms that are most bothersome.

There are different types of sinus problems with different sets of symptoms. Some common symptoms include: sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, headache, cough, halitosis (bad breath)... the list goes on. You may be experiencing a few of these, or you may be suffering from all of them. Whichever the case may be, the most effective sinus medication will be the one that targets and gets rid of the specific symptoms that are bothering you.

Another crucial factor is the cause of your sinus problem. You can do your own research, or you can consult with your physician or pharmacist. Once that is determined, it will be easier to narrow down your options when it comes to curing your sinus problem. It is possible that only minor adjustments will be required so that you could prevent future problems with your sinuses. For example, if your current sinus problem is caused by allergies, then we can infer that avoiding that allergen (or those allergens) would solve your sinus problem. If you might be allergic to cat or dog fur and would hate to give your pet away, perhaps the best sinus medication option for you would be allergy medicine. If you’re lucky, this would solve all your sinus problems.

If you’re not quite so lucky as to have allergies as the sole cause of your sinus problems, then consider the other possible causes of sinusitis. Infection is also another common sinus problem. In this case, your sinus medication options include nasal sprays that target the area where the infection is spreading. Various nasal sprays are available over the counter at your neighborhood convenience store, drug store, or grocery store.

An excellent option to consider is the nebulizer. It can come equipped with the latest pharmaceutical technology. Moreover, whatever your symptoms, whatever the cause, whatever the infection that you are suffering from, pharmacists can help you personalize your sinus medication for you, to ensure that the nebulizer does its job as best that it can.

If nasal sprays are not for you, then there are other sinus medication options for you, available at the places mentioned above: grocery store, convenience stores, pharmacies, etc. Over the counter medication such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, antihistamine, and decongestants can help alleviate the symptoms that you are experiencing.

If sinus medication is not enough, there is yet even more that you can do to help yourself. Adjusting your diet is one option. Eating citrus fruits, spicy foods, chicken soup, etc., can help clear your sinus passages. And, as always, drinking lots of fluids—water, juice, tea—is very common advice. That’s because it’s a particularly useful and effective piece of advice. Fluids help with thinning out the mucous that is clogging up your sinuses and/or your nasal passages. Another tip: garlic is another food item that is particularly helpful in getting rid of mucous.
