I have sinusitus – any remedies? Constantly losing my sense of smell/taste. Could it be smoking isnt helping?

Q:

A: smoking narrows blood vessels so it slows down healing. Plus, smoking does something to decrease your body’s ability to absorb Vitamin C, another healing source your body needs. A sinus infection is hard enough to shake, once I get one they just seem to keep re-emerging and never quite go away. Give your body every opportunity to heal itself and try and not smoke for a while. Good luck!
