For sinus headaches, which option is NOT listed as a care/treatment option?

• A. Nasal irrigation
• B. Decongestant nasal sprays
• C. Chiropractic adjustments
• D. Drinking sufficient fluids

Answer: (C)

Managing sinus headaches centers on clearing nasal passages and keeping mucus thin. Saline nasal irrigation physically flushes out mucus and irritants, providing relief from congestion. Drinking plenty of fluids helps keep mucus thin so it drains more easily. Decongestant nasal sprays can offer short-term relief by reducing nasal swelling, though they’re best used briefly to avoid rebound congestion. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are not a standard, evidence-based treatment for sinus headaches since they target the musculoskeletal system rather than the sinus cavities. Therefore, the option not listed among common care/treatment options is chiropractic adjustments.
