Narrator:

It sounds like a bad joke...

Laura Holroyd:

And Dr. Josephson said, 'Well I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is, it can't get any worse.'

Narrator:

But for Laura Holroyd sinus problems were no laughing matter.

Laura Holroyd:

Pretty much after a while it was ‘round the, ‘round the entire course of the year, four seasons, I had head infections.

Narrator:

Laura is one of the 40-million Americans who suffer from sinus infections every year.

Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.:

If you're congested and you're not breathing right, that's not normal. I know you've been doing it for 30 or 40 or 50 years, but it's not normal.

Narrator:

Doctor Jordan Josephson knows his stuff… he’s a sinus specialist who says on-going sinus problems aggravate other conditions.

Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.:

Sinus problems can be connected to asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux, which is GERD, and allergies.

Narrator:

Start by cleaning up your breathing environment, controlling nasal aggravators like dust and mold. Then, pay attention to what you eat.

Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.:

If you’re eating food that’s making your nose congested, don’t eat that food.

Narrator:

The congestion creates an environment that bacteria and viruses thrive in. The doctor also recommends an age-old treatment to clean the sinuses - nasal irrigation.

Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.:

Washing your sinuses out just makes you feel refreshed and gets your allergies out of your nose, gets dust particles and dirt particles out of your nose, and gets infection out of your nose.

Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.:

And by following medical and practical therapies, Laura's breathing easier. For WebMD, I'm Damon Meharg.
