Sinusitis can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as facial pain or pressure, a blocked or runny nose, headaches and reduced sense of smell. While many cases improve on their own, treatments like pain relief, nasal sprays, steam inhalation and self-care can help ease symptoms, and medical advice may be needed if symptoms last longer or worsen. Knowing the signs and treatment options can help you manage sinusitis more effectively and understand when to seek help. 🤧💧🩺✨

⚠️ Important baby safety alert ⚠️

Parents and carers are advised not to use baby sleep pillows for babies under 12 months. These products can increase the risk of suffocation, overheating and serious harm and should never be placed in a cot or crib.

For safer sleep, always follow NHS guidance:
✔️ Place babies on their back to sleep
✔️ Use a firm, flat mattress
✔️ Keep the sleep space clear of pillows and soft items

Please share this information to help keep babies safe.
