Breathing exercises recommended by "hava" have helped my sinus condition. I no longer breath through my mouth.
Thank you for your response. I have recently visited a doctor. She gave me some antibiotics, so I guess I'll wait and see how this works out. She also said that I would need to see a dentist. I guess I will see what's next in line at my follow-up visit. Again, Thanks!
Take one teaspoon of turmeric powder, in hot water or hot milk, everyday. This is a natural antibiotic.Do the pranayam, twice a day, and your symptoms will go down gradually. Come back to report your progress - very important, as there are many in a similar position, like you.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.

The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day. Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.
