Frequently Asked Questions

Can sinus infection cure itself?

Yes, a sinus infection (sinusitis) can sometimes resolve on its own, especially if it’s caused by a viral infection, which is the most common type. Viral sinus infections often improve within 7-10 days without the need for medical treatment. However, there are a few factors to consider:
When Sinus Infections Resolve Naturally:
Viral Sinusitis: Most cases of sinus infections are viral and tend to resolve as the immune system fights off the virus.
Mild Symptoms: If symptoms are mild and do not worsen over time, the body can typically heal itself.

How long does a sinus infection last?

Sinusitis, or a sinus infection, can last anywhere from a few days to months depending on the type of infection.

How does sinus pain stop immediately?

There’s no quick fix for sinus pain, but there are things you can try to relieve it:
Rest: Getting extra rest helps your body fight infection and speed up recovery.
Drink fluids: Drinking lots of fluids, including hot drinks like tea or water with lemon, helps keep mucus thin and loose.
Use a warm compress: Applying a warm compress to your forehead and nose can help reduce sinus pressure.
