Are your allergy sypmtoms driving you crazy? After a while the constant sneezing, sniffling, runny nose and itchy eyes tend to take a toll. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help reduce the irritation and annoyance that are allergy symptoms. Check them out below.

Eat an orange. Oranges are naturally rich in vitamin C, a natural antihistamine. Studies have also linked low levels of vitamin C with allergies. So, if your allergies are acting up, consider taking a vitamin C supplement.

Wash bedding regularly. Washing your bed sheets and blankets every week in hot water is the best way to kill microscopic dust mites that love to make your bed their home.

Keep pets out of your bedroom. We know this one can be extremely tough, however, keeping your bedroom free of pet dander is extremely important (as it can cause allergies). Let the barking and meowing ensue!

Double check dryer vent. Did you know for every load of laundry you do, 19 pounds of moisture has to go somewhere? Crazy! Be sure that your dryer vent is going outside and not to your garage or basement. If it's in fact indoors, this could lead to mould build-up in your home leading to more discomfort.

Clean and declutter. Upkeeping your home is an integral part in dealing with allergies. Be sure to vacuum every room of the house once per week, declutter, keep bathroom free of mold and don't use scented detergents or cleaners.

If you can't seem to get a handle on your allergies, give Dr. Wade Han a call at Florida Ear Nose Throat and Facial Plastic Suery Center. We would be more than happy to setup and appointment for you and have you feeling better in no time! To learn more, visit www.floridaent.com.

Sinusitis, the painful inflammation of the membranes lining the sinus cavities in the skull, affects more than 37 million people each year. If you're one of the individuals suffering from this issue, we're sure you're well aware of how uncomfortable it can be. Along with natural remedies, there are a few dietary measures you can take that may help alleviate pain before visiting the doctor. Check them out below.
  • Drinking fluids is a great way to keep your sinuses moist and aid in drainage. Aim to drink 8 to 10 cups of water daily. You can also incorporate broth, tea and juice.
  • Increasing the amount of vitamin C in your diet is another great way to help keep sinus pain to a minimum. Stock up on fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C like oranges, red and green bell peppers, kale, broccoli and strawberries.
  • Did you know there are some food out there that are natural decongestants? If your sinuses are acting up, it's a perfect time to include ginger, thyme, cumin, cloves or cinnamon into your meals!
  • Along with vitamin C, vitamin E has many anti-inflammatory benefits. Vitamin E can be found in many foods including dark leafy greens such as spinach, almonds, avocados, shellfish, squash and kiwi.
If none of your at-home remedies seem to be helping, we encourage you to give our Sinus & Facial Plastics Institute a call to schedule an appointment. Our facility, located in central Florida, is dedicated to the complete medical care of the nose, both cosmetic and functional. To learn more about our sinus institute, please visit our website or call 407-944-3340.

Natural Remedies for Sinus Pain

If you've ever suffered from sinus pain or pressure, you're probably aware of how uncomfortable it can be. Pain around your eyes, forehead and teeth, post-nasal drip and coughing are just a few symptoms that you may have experienced if you are in fact suffering from sinus pain.

Luckily, there are a few remedies you can try out at home to help relieve symptoms before making an appointment to visit the doctor. Check them out below.

Clear nasal cavity.
One of the most popular remedies to help relieve sinus pain and pressure is to use a neti pot twice a day. The saline solution helps to flush your nasal passage of unwanted mucus and keep it moist. Neti pots can be purchased in your local drugstore.

Hydrate.
Drinking water throughout the day is something you should always be doing, however, when your sinuses are acting up it's extremely important. Staying hydrated will help keep your sinuses moist, thin out mucus and drain plugged sinuses. Try to avoid sugary drinks, caffeine and alcohol.

Pump up the steam.
Humidifiers and hot steamy showers can help break up mucus and temporarily help to relieve sinus pain and pressure. Try adding a bit of eucalyptus or menthol to the water to help keep your nasal passage clear.

Eat spicy.
This one may seem silly but simply adding a little bit of horseradish, wasabi or spicy mustard to your soup may help clear your sinuses right out!

We're the first and only facility in central Florida that is dedicated to the complete medical care of the nose, both cosmetic and functional.
