 Nose fungus is medically known as fungal sinusitis or a fungal sinus infection. This fungus can make you to feel congested and leave your sinuses sensitive, and if not treated could make it necessary to have surgery. Nasal irrigation provides an efficient way to get rid of nose fungus. While nasal irrigation is not an easy process, you’d soon notice how clean and clear your sinuses feel and you’d wonder how you ever went without getting nasal irrigation done.

Types of Nose Fungus    

There are 4 categories of fungal sinusitis that include; allergic, fungal ball and acute or chronic invasive sinusitis. Each of these is caused by exposure to certain types of fungus which then grow in the sinus cavities.

Fungal Ball

Fungal ball sinusitis is when a development or ball of fungi grows in the maxillary sinus cavity. This is the sinus which is behind the cheeks adjoining the ethmoid sinuses.

Allergic Fungal Sinusitis   

Allergic fungal sinusitis is similar to fungal ball. However, a mass of fungi is not the cause of symptoms. This fungi cause polyps or inflammation in the sinuses, which results in difficulty draining mucus. It is much difficult to completely heal the fungal ball due to the fungi in the environment which can constantly cause the infection to recur.

Acute and Chronic Invasive Sinusitis  

Chronic and acute invasive sinusitis is more serious and can be fatal. The fungi grow in the sinuses and surrounding bone. The acute form develops very quickly while the chronic develops more slowly.

Instructions to Kill Nose Fungus

1. Mix non iodized salt and hot water in your nasal irrigation pot. The amount and salt would depend on the size of your pot.
2. Stir the mixture in the pot and be careful not to spill the mixture. When the salt becomes invisible, the mixture is ready. Always use a clean spoon when mixing to avoid contaminating your sinuses with outside bacteria.
3. Slant your head to the left over a sink or basin, so that your nose and chin are on the same horizontal line. Gradually place the opening of the pot in your right nostril and let the saline mixture to drain out of the left nostril. Continue this till the mixture completely drains through your sinuses.
4. Breathe out of your nose smoothly to release any remaining fluid and congestion (including fungus). You could also choose to gently blow your nose into a tissue.
5. Repeat the above two steps, but only tilt to the right side this time. Leave the opening of the pot in the left nostril, so the mixture drains through the right one.

Treatment for Nose Fungus 

Nose fungus should be properly treated for healing. Antibiotics and minimally invasive surgery can be used in allergic sinusitis and fungal ball. More invasive surgery and antifungal is used to treat the invasive types.
