A member asked:
Is it safe to fly with a sinus infection or with my sinuses burst from the pressure... if so how do i avoid that from happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinusitis: Use a decongestant, a saline nasal rinse using a neti-pot, possibly a nasal steroid spray. If you are still congested and can avoid flying would suggest that you do so. Good luck.
