What Produces Sinus Drainage? A Nurse"s Guide
If you've been wondering what produces sinus drainage there are some surprising facts you'll want to know.
Most people think that drainage is not a good thing, that there must be something not working properly or that the symptom must be bad, but that is generally not the case.
The fact is that about a quart or so of sinus fluid moves through the sinuses every day.
This is a natural process.
However when you're experiencing, sinusitis, which is any inflammation of the sinuses including infection, or a full-blown sinus infection you'll have more drainage especially with plugs of mucous.
Although when your sinuses dry up and get blocked it will be difficult for the drainage to move through the nasal passages and that blockage is actually what compounds the infection.
You want to encourage sinus drainage at all costs.
You can ensure better drainage by reducing your exposure to mold spores, pollen, dust, fumes, smoke, smog, dust mites, household, cosmetic, sunscreen and other chemical sprays and anything that you might breathe in that would clog or block your sinuses.
