5. Flush the nasal passages
Flushing the nasal passages with a saline solution can be a highly effective treatment for sinus infections. Not only does it alleviate the pain associated with an infection, but it can also help cure it. Saline washes thin the mucus that overfills the sinuses when an infection occurs. These washes also keep the sinuses moist, which provides further relief. They have been extensively studied and proven to be highly effective for afflictions of the sinuses. Fill a neti pot with the saline solution. Tilt your head to one side and pour the solution through the uppermost nostril, allowing the fluid and mucus drain out of the other nostril.
