When Sinus Attack !!!



What Are Sinuses?

"The sinuses are air-filled spaces found in the bones of the head and face. Sinuses start developing before you are born and some of them keep growing until you're about 20. There are four pairs of sinuses, or eight in all. They are located on either side of the nose in your cheeks, behind and between the eyes, in the forehead, and at the back of the nasal cavity.
Like the inside of the nose, the sinuses are lined with a moist, thin layer of tissue called a mucous membrane. The mucous membranes help moisten the air as you breathe it in. The mucous membrane also makes mucus, that sticky stuff in your nose you might call snot. The mucus traps dust and germs that are in the air we breathe. On the surface of the cells of the mucous membrane are microscopic hairs called cilia.
The cilia beat back and forth in waves to clear mucus from the sinuses through a narrow opening in the nose and then move the mucus toward the back of the nose to be swallowed. Gross, huh? If you have a cold or allergies, the membrane gets irritated and swollen and produces even more mucus."

   Ok, I'm not this brilliant to know all this fact, I found this when I am Google-ing. Cause I have sinus ! YES. It's pretty bad and di tengah bulan puasa yang mulia ni juga sedang menghadapinya, sekarang ! Jangan lah Raya nanti pun kena !! Nak Raya dengan seronok ! Ni dah macam Blog kesihatan dah. hahah. To get rid of it, saya makan pil resdung, takut la pulak nak buat bekam, rawatan ulat amenda tu ! pil lah senang. hahha.
