    Sinusitis is an infection of the lining of the sinus cavities, which are the hollow spaces in the cheeks and around the eyes. The general symptoms include facial pain/pressure, headache, bad breath, cough, fever, pain in the teeth, and a reduced sense of taste or smell.

    Tips to treat sinusitis

    * Avoid cold drinks and ice cream.

    * Drink plenty of fluids.

    * Try to breathe warm moist air.

    * Use saltwater nose drops or sprays as prescribed, to keep the nasal passage open and wash them out.

    * Consult an ENT specialist, if necessary.
