Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation in the passages behind the cheekbones or forehead which are called sinuses. It is caused by bacteria or a virus. Sinusitis can also be caused by allergens present in the environment. Some of the symptoms associated with sinusitis are headache, stuffy nose and thick nasal secretions that are yellow, green or blood tinged.
Salt particles reach inward and draw out fluid, accelerating the pace of mucus clearance. This reduces swelling of the mucous membrane lining the nasal passages, widening the airway passages in the nose and facilitating sinus drainage.
