Although a stuffy nose can occur in other conditions, like the common cold common cold, many people confuse simple nasal congestion with sinusitis. A cold, however, usually lasts about seven days and disappears without treatment. Acute sinusitis lasts longer than a week and usually does not go away on its own. A doctor can diagnose sinusitis by medical history, physical examination, x-rays, and if necessary, MRIs or CT scans (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography).
Medical treatment involves taking aspirin or acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen sodium for pain. [Note: Do not give aspirin or any medication containing salicylates to anyone 19 years of age or younger, unless directed by a physician, due to its association with Reye's Syndrome, a potentially fatal condition.]
Also commonly prescribed are over-the-counter decongestant pills, or an over-the-counter pill for pain that also has a decongestant such as Tylenol Sinus. [Note: Older men should check with their doctor before taking decongestants. Decongestants that have ephedrine can give older men urinary problems.]
Use nose drops only for the number of days prescribed. Repeated use of them creates a dependency. Your nasal passages "forget" how to work on their own and you have to continue using drops to keep nasal passages clear. To avoid picking up germs, never borrow nose drops from others. Don't let anyone else use yours, either. Throw the drops away after treatment.
The approach in treating any condition with Contact Reflex Analysis is to rehabilitate the body's ability to heal itself. Several reflexes may be active including the sub-reflexes of the left master allergy reflex which are the staph, strep, lung, spleen and parasite reflexes. With an acute attack the virus reflex may be active. In chronic cases the yeast reflex may be active.
The following reflexes will often be active:
These reflexes should be tested and treated with the proper supplementation. A liver/gallbladder flush and intestinal detoxification program may also be recommended.
You should avoid dairy products because these are mucus forming. Avoid refined sugar products and increase your consumption of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
The upper neck is most often involved, however, because of toxic overload to the body the digestive tract may also be involved. This would show up as structural stress to the mid-back and the lower back. Take this preliminary to see if your condition could respond to treatment.
