How it works
Adequate hydration maintains thin, free-flowing mucus that drains more easily from sinuses. Rest supports the immune response required to resolve infection.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine which can dehydrate and worsen congestion. Humidifying sleeping environment also helps.
Strong mechanistic rationale and consistent clinical recommendation. While direct RCTs are limited, hydration is universally endorsed in sinusitis management guidelines.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
