Question 1

is a sinus infection and chills common?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: Chills can be seen with acute sinusitis, but in my experience, this is quite rare.  If you have a viral infection causing your sinus issues, this could be the cause of the chills.  Feel better!

Question 4

how can i soothe a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Saline rinse: The best treatment for an upper respiratory infection is to rinse your sinuses out with saline. Use either something like'simply saline' that shoots a continuous stream of saline or something like the 'netty pot'  or the 'neil med sinus rinse' .  Twice a day is a good place to start but it is only saline and it can be used a lot more often.  Sleep is really what cures colds,  so rest up.

Question 5

Serious bacterial sinus infections need to be evaluated by a physician and may need scans/cultures to appropriately treat.  See your doctor is you have significant sinus pain, fever, visual changes, dental pain, ear pain, or other concerns.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Meds: If symptoms have been less than a week.. It may just be a cold... Wait it out and treat symptoms. If symptoms longer than a week with facial pain/pressure/ nasal drainage/sore throat... May be a sinus infection... Best to get some antibiotics.

Question 9

i'd like to understand why i keep getting a sinus infection. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible anatomical: There are several possible causes for recurrent sinus infections, including anatomical anomalies (deviated septum, underdeveloped sinus cavities, etc.), perennial  allergies, and immune deficiency.  Sometimes colds or allergic rhinitis is over-diagnosed as being a sinus infection.  I recommend seeing an ENT to help determine if you actually have sinus infections, and if so, the underlying cause.

Question 10

i have sinus infection, what shouldn't i eat and what should i eat ?

Accepted Answer

Eat anything : There is no reason to avoid any food with sinus infection.  Some people find dairy products can make them more mucousy, and by all means if that happens to you it is reasonable to cut back on dairy during such an infection.    While you may not be able to smell as well (and thus not able to taste as well), you can eat anything.
