Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rest and a room humidifier can help to relieve symptoms of a sinus infection by reducing irritation and promoting drainage from the sinuses. Pursed-lip breathing and coughing and deep breathing are respiratory techniques used for other conditions such as COPD, and percussion and postural drainage are primarily used for respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis. While antibiotics may be necessary for bacterial sinus infections, the nurse cannot recommend specific medications without a physician's order.
