sinus

[hquek]

I’m using pure sesame oil on my kid (and myself also). just dab a bit in the nostril. Son hates it, but it seems to work. We used to do it daily, but now cut down to once in a while. Typically we do it before bedtime cos that’s when he starts sniffing and making noise.


I was told by a penangnite to use this brand called Gnee Hong - this is avaiable in JB Giant also. But I feel that perhaps can just use any brand. remember, don’t buy the blended sesame oil - there’s the pure version (never knew got difference until today).

Dear all,

Like to get your advise on my child who just turned 5. He has been on various medication like lung tonic Dhatifen, Zyrtec for his sensitive nose, and recently, during a visit to KK, they noted his sinuses was inflamed and recommended Nasonex, a mild steriod nose spray.
Just wanted to know if anyone has better natural solutions? We sleep in an air con room with a manageable temperature and these are some of the options:

1) No aircon, just ceiling fan
2) Aircon plus humifier
3) Aromatheraphy - Not Belle Aire due to the high alcohol content, but pure essential oils with burner
4)Nasonex or Zyrtec for life
5) Specialist consultation which would most probably diagnose as asthma and to be prescribed with asthma medication
Any advise most welcomed as he has been sleeping poorly, waking up with blocked nose or difficulty breathing. Backdrip seems to come and go while he is sleeping…

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Mike

Hi michael68,

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but may I ask whether was any reason given for your child's inflamed sinuses. I mean was there any probable cause(s) suggested??

Thanks. Will check it out.

Kitty2, if your child has the sinus problem, you may want to consider letting him/her drink goat milk. Heard that you can see improvement within weeks. I heard about this and I had goat milk delivered to my door step 2x a week. I have noticed the difference............her problem became less severe. However, after months we decided to stop coz I could not persuade my younger child to drink the same type of milk and I ended up buying 2 different types of milk and the older one could not finish consuming the 2 bottles within a week.

I was informed that the sinuses was hereditary, as I myself had it while I was a kid. But I guess when I reached my teens, it just went away.

Of course back then, there were not much construction (look at all the MRT works in almost every estate…), and the dust and dirt probably aggravates the condition. Having a Honeywell air purifier may have helped to prevent the environment from getting worse…
