Flying Makes Your Sinus Pain

Whether you're a flight attendant or frequent flyer or a family heading for a vacation, we've got the solution to your sinus problems, which We call either Barrel traumas are Barrow sinusitis. 

Let me show you what's going on inside. So here the shows are sign is maxillary sinuses, ethmoid sinuses frontal sinuses. And all of these sinuses are lined with these little hair cells silly at what they do. They work their way to keep mucus out to keep those sinuses open and full of air. 

But when you're flying what can happen those little openings can shut down because of swelling if you have allergies if you have a cold now, they closed down as you see in the animation sinuses collect with fluid pressure and a sinusitis condition. That can hurt you, can actually get sick. 

If you have sinusitis or if you have congestion in your nose going into a flight, maybe think twice about flying in general. You can rinse your sinuses out with the old Neti Pot which I know you two are aficionados of the Neti Pot absolutely love. 

Just using either oral or spray the congestions inside your nose will open up those openings to your sinus so that everything can pass back and forth and it'll prevent that pressure build up inside your sinus. It's also important. Those spray decongestants to never use them more than two or three days at a time but going on a flight is one reason to make him use it for that day.
