The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healing Your Sinuses

The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healing Your Sinuses

Pounding headaches, congestion pressure, a constant runny nose—not to mention sleepless nights. If you have chronic sinusitis, these symptoms can be a nightmare. Instead of just dreaming of clearer passages, one of the world’s leading authorities on sinus pain provides a treatment plan to relieve your aching head for good. Ralph B. Metson, M.D.—a third-generation ear, nose, and throat specialist with over twenty years of experience—explains the anatomy of your sinuses, symptoms, and how to accurately diagnose problems including: • A range of treatments, from saltwater irrigation to laser surgery—and if it’s right for you • The pros and cons of decongestants, antibiotics, and steroids (faster drainage products can be overdrying) • How changes in diet and lifestyle may improve symptoms (milk and wheat sensitivities may cause reactions) With The Harvard Medical Guide to Healing Your Sinuses, you can develop a total sinus management plan tailored to your needs and reduce courses of antibiotics, restore freer breathing, and finally kick that pesky post-nasal drip.
