A member asked:

How can i avoid my sinus cavities getting stuffy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several ways: Control allergies, use a sinus rinse, occasionally may need a decongestant, but keeping the openings from the sinuses into the nose open will help prevent both congestion and infection.

Dr Nguyen and another doctor agreed
