Hi Suzy, The scent receptors are high in the nasal cavity, but not in the frontal sinuses. Sinusitis is disease of the sinuses, rhinitis is disease of the nose...
Hi all, I'm off to see the ENT chap this week but in the meantime and grotty pain in my right frontal sinus needed lots of painkillers. Anyone got any...
Karl, I remember some rather excellent information you gave about someone having had a possible virus which was not detected at the time (25% of people don't...

Hi Ruth, Only think I can think of is the Neilmed nasal irrigation which may help. Or if you believe the package - the sinus buster stuff. I made some of my...
Yes Jenny, that is the same for me. It only works if I crank my neck like a contortionist. I'm so glad it works for you. I guess I was lucky discovering it...
I've tried such a homemade pepper solution too. I think it produces a little benefit for me, but I only use it infrequently. Lucky for me, I rarely feel any...
