Is It Just a Cold, Or Do You Have Sinusitis?

The sinuses are pockets of mucous membranes around the face, most notably close to your nose. The exact number of them can vary from one person to the next, without any disadvantages to having fewer. Most of the time, you won't even be aware that your sinuses exist, but sometimes they can become inflamed, a condition known as sinusitis that can occur when you have a cold or the flu. Ordinarily, this isn't something to worry about, as it just causes a bit of discomfort for a week or so before going away on its own.

Ears, Nose and Throat: Preventative Healthcare and Dealing With Illnesses

From infancy to old age, people sometimes struggle with ear, nose and throat issues. Hello, my name is Martha. As a child I had my tonsils out, and I've dealt with various throat infections over the years. My children have also had to see an ENT specialist several times. I decided to start a blog on how to take care of the most common issues and how to prevent ear, nose and throat issues. I plan to write about multiple aspects of ENT healthcare. For instance, did you know that breastfeeding a baby can minimise his or her risk for ear infections? Also, simple things such as washing your hands can reduce the spread of germs. Well, look around. I hope you like these posts.
