Where can I find a graphical image of the human sinus cavity and throat?

---

My sinuses have been dramatically draining during the past two weeks so I have had a tickled throat all this time.
Rather than continuing to take antihistamine tabs (which do dry things out) I want to SEE what all is happening inside my nose / throat that cause this irritation.
I'm seeking images of the human sinus cavity and throat.
Thanks for images or links.
I google searched and have posted the link below.

Are sinus headaches more common based on a particular geographic location?

I have lived in St. Louis all my life, and have not been out of the region too much. I get a sinus headache or infection about four to six times a year, either to getting a cold or a weird change in weather (as St. Louis is). For those who have lived in various locations in their lifetime, are headaches more common in certain areas such as St. Louis, and occur less often in other locations?
some times it happens when the air pressure changes.
when u go up and down the mountains you will feel it  (+ info)

What are some fast ways to get rid of a sinus headache?

I have had a big sinus headache all day. I have took tylenol and a sinus rinse. Are there any good fast acting ways to get rid of my headache?
I kind of already drink coffee regularly anyways so I'm not sure if that makes a difference
If you're diagnosed with sinusitis, your doctor may recommend antibiotics. Be sure to finish the entire course of medication you are prescribed- even if your signs and symptoms disappear before all the pills or capsules are gone. This is the only way to eradicate the germs causing the infection. If the sinusitis is related to inflammation or allergies, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid nasal sprays or pills.

As the sinus infection clears up, the sinus headaches should disappear. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers, decongestants and saline nasal spray might help you feel better. Use these products only as directed. It may help to drink plenty of fluids as well.

If a structural problem in your nasal cavity is contributing to sinusitis or sinus headaches, surgical correction may be recommended.  (+ info)

I've been taking sinus medication every 4 hours and nothing is relieving the pain.
Boil a pot of water on the stove and put your head over the steam and inhale the steam for awhile. I've tried it and it works.
You have to get a decongestant also to reduce the reason you have the pain. You can buy it " over the counter". You have to take care of the problem first.  (+ info)

TOP 5 HOME REMEDIES FOR SINUS INFECTION

You should inhale steam vapors periodically. This is a very simple yet effective home remedy for sinus infection. All you have to do is bow your head over a hot water bowl so that the steam can reach your face directly. Start inhaling the steam vapors. Repeat this for 2-3 mins as many times as it is convenient to do so. The main purpose is to thin the usually thick mucus so that drainage is enhanced.

Consumption of garlic juice or garlic capsules. It has been said that garlic has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Since a sinus infection could be either bacterial or fungal in nature, the properties of garlic should be an effective natural cure. Another option is to put some chopped fresh garlic in a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam 2-3 times a day. This is another effective home remedy for sinus infection.

Another natural cure and home remedy for sinus infection is to use Apple Cider Vinegar, which contains potassium. This helps decrease mucus production and have shown to be beneficial as a natural home remedy of sinus infection, runny nose and the common cold. Mix 2 teaspoonfuls of organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a full glass of warm water and drink it up. Do this 3 times a day.

Food allergy is one of the major causes of sinus infection. It may sound preposterous, but many people have found that avoiding certain food groups totally cured them of this condition! For chronic sinus infection sufferers, you need to avoid taking dairy products, wheat, eggs, chickens, ducks, chocolates, peanuts, bananas and corn. To be absolutely sure which food group you may be allergic to, a diagnostic blood test is highly recommended. Therefore, avoiding certain food groups which are known to cause allergic reactions can be a simple and yet effective home remedy for sinus infection.

Nasal irrigation. This is a highly touted and extremely effective natural cure and proven home remedy for sinus infection.

Aside from these natural cure to fight sinus infection, you should endeavor to improve your general health and build up a strong immune system.

By doing so, you will be less susceptible to fungal, viral and bacterial infections which could subsequently lead to sinus infection. Viruses are around us all the time and a healthy immune system is developed by eating right, staying in shape and exercise frequently.

You should also set a goal of drinking around 10 glasses of water everyday. This helps to thin out the mucus which is naturally produced by the body and allows easy drainage through the nasal passages. Besides, if your system is well hydrated it can also help prevent ill health since the body's immune system deteriorates if there is insufficient water in the body.

Adopting a home remedy to fight sinus infection, both mild and recurrent, may save you a few trips to the doctor! However, if you suspect that you have sinus infection and the symptoms remain even after trying out these home remedies, it could well mean that your body's immune system is weakened. In this case, it is advisable to consult a physician as soon as possible.  (+ info)

How can I get rid of a sinus infection if it does not respond to medication?

---

It's making me feel sickly and tired to where I don't want to do anything, and the other day I even vomited because of it. I've tried everything there is over the counter and I also got prescribed antibiotics and a decongestant. However nothing works. I still feel tired and sickly and I have this intense pressure all over my head. Do I need to have sinus surgery?
No to surgery-- Its a typical acute sinus infection probably in which antibiotics won;t work because most are cause by fungus not bacteria. Sinus medications will just make you feel worse and won;t do anything for the sinus infection symptoms. Without doing anything it can take up to 3 weeks to get rid of a sinus infection if yo do nothing for it, that's the normal course. Nasal irrigation will help flush it out FAST. There is more info at the websites below. You will get better..Nurse Sue.  (+ info)
