When I said that in this job as a journalist you have no business with math, geometry, etc., a topic like this comes along and stirs up your childhood trauma: sines. And cosines. And theses, and extemporaries, and all the headaches that math gave you. God, how good it is that I'm a grown man and that I'm no longer in school! And that today, not me, but Laur, our therapist, will come out to the blackboard... And he'll show you how to do a drainage massage for your inflamed sinuses. What are the sinuses? They are four pairs of... little air-filled sacs, whose walls are lined with a mucous membrane. Their role is to protect the airways from allergens, pollutants and other substances, to make sure that the air you breathe in has the right temperature and humidity before entering your lungs and to contribute to oxygenating the brain. Most people think they only have two sinuses. Here. We have more. We have four pairs, as I said, that is, 8 sinuses: two above the eyes (frontal sinuses), the ones that the donkey always falls on, two between the nose and the eyes, under the arch of the frontal bone (sphenoid sinuses), two under the eyeball (ethmoid sinuses), two at the Prefecture and two at the Girls' School. No. And two in the jaw bone, near the nose (maxillary sinuses). What happens in sinusitis? Due to a cold or an allergy, the lining of the sinuses, the mucosa, becomes inflamed, the narrow channels through which the mucus drains to the outside become blocked and pressure is created on the tissues of the face. Pressure that is painful. This blockage is only good for germs and bacteria, which multiply and cause infection. I'm going to tell you a few things you can do to calm down a sinus infection a little, and then Big Laur will show you some… karate moves. Lots of karate. Like the most expensive gold. That's how useful the massage, the drainage that you learn from Laur is, which gets that mucus out of you one by one. Write to us in the comments if your sinusitis is holding you back, and have a little patience and listen to me too: Drink fluids - because it helps dilute secretions and promotes drainage. Moisten your sinus cavities - put a towel over your head while inhaling the steam from a bowl of hot water. Or take a hot shower, inhaling the warm, humid air. It also helps relieve pain and drain the mucus. Apply warm compresses to your face - place warm, damp towels around your nose, cheeks and eyes to relieve facial pain. Do a nasal irrigation - use a nasal irrigator to do a rinse to clear your sinuses. Use distilled water or boiled and cooled water. Get some rest - this will help your body fight off infections and speed up recovery. Sleep with your head elevated - it helps drain mucus and reduce congestion. To minimize your risk of acute sinusitis, avoid upper respiratory infections, manage your allergies, avoid cigarette smoke and polluted air, and use a humidifier in your room if the air is dry, but be sure to clean it regularly and keep it clean and free of mold. Otherwise, see if it's a big bathroom. If the symptoms of sinusitis do not improve within a few days or worsen and you also have a persistent fever, go to the doctor, do not treat the situation with sictir.
