Sinus infection or sinusitis is primarily an inflammation of your nasal passage lining that can develop into acute sinus infections. The pressure that the bacterial mucus builds up may assert itself on the dental nerve endings and can cause a severe toothache.

Here are 5 tooth pain relief techniques that can alleviate the discomfort in your mouth due to sinus infection:

• Fluid intake and the inhalation of steam:  This helps to stay hydrated as well as hydrates the mucous membranes and decreases the level of mucus that has built up inside the nasal cavity. Drinking coconut water, which is rich in electrolytes and contains magnesium, helps in hydrating your body quicker.
• Spicy food: Spicy food such as chilies and pepper have mucus thinning properties and thus give you instant tooth pain relief. Consultation with a doctor is imperative because not every spicy food is effective in treating sinusitis and relieving toothache.
• Sleeping over the sinus pain: This may sound like an excuse, but only a few people are aware of the fact that the resistance system of one’s body is more active when the body is at rest. While a person is asleep, there is an ample production of white blood cells which enhances the immunity of the body. Humming has also been reported to be effective in lowering tooth pain because air flow increases during humming and clears the mucus buildup.
• Use an expectorant: Expectorants are known to melt the mucus buildup. The decongestants dry out the passage and thus relieve the pressure to provide tooth pain relief.
• Positioning your head for the best drainage: While one is suffering from sinus pain, it is advisable to rest by keeping the head propped up or in a tilted position. This is a better way to drain the nasal passage, as lying flat on one’s back can lead to continued pressure on the nasal cavity.

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that affects the functioning of the large intestine. The large intestine is located at the end of the digestive tract. In majority of the cases, colon cancer begins as small, non-cancerous clumps of cells called polyps, which later turn into malignant cells.

The three signs of colon cancer that must not be ignored are rectal bleeding, dark stools, and changes in bowel habits. During the initial stages of colon cancer, the symptoms are not pronounced. The symptoms of colon cancer start showing up only in later stages, which is when the benign cells turn malignant.

Symptoms of colon cancer
People with a family history of colon cancer should watch out for the three signs of colon cancer. Among all the symptoms of colon cancer, symptoms of marked changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, and dark stools should be reported immediately. The warning signs of colon cancer are: as follows:

• Marked changes in bowel habit is a typical symptom of colon cancer. Some may have severe constipation, while others may have diarrhea
• Dark stools are another warning sign of colon cancer. Dark patches of blood in your stool or long, thin, pencil-like stools are often seen in people affected by colon cancer
• Rectal bleeding and cramping is another symptom of colon cancer
• The feeling of incomplete emptying of bowels or urgency in bowel movement is a warning sign associated with colon cancer
• Abdominal pain or cramping due to cancerous cell growth in the colon is another symptom you need to pay heed to. As cancerous cells multiply these symptoms become more pronounced
• Pelvic pain occurs in the last stages of colon cancer
• Bloated feeling or discomfort may be experienced in colon cancer
• Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite is a symptom in most type of cancers

You should consult your physician immediately if one or more of these symptoms appear for a long duration.

The significance of regular screening for colon cancer
Since colon cancer symptoms do not show up during the initial stages; periodic screening helps to detect the disease at the early stages. The American Cancer Society recommends regular screening for colon cancer from ages as early as 45 years.

Early screening of colon cancer helps in the timely detection and effective treatment of the three signs of colon cancer. When you experience the 3 signs of colon cancer, you should seek immediate medical help. 9 out of 10 people at early stages of colon cancer have 5 years of survival.

The much-awaited iPhones of 2019 were released by Apple at their flagship event in California on September 10. While the iPhone 11 is an upgrade of the earlier iPhone XR, iPhone Pro has been called as the successor of the iPhone XS. The iPhone Pro Max is a slightly bigger version of iPhone Pro.

The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max have been slated to deliver advanced performance to pro users and those who want the best from their smartphones. The new iPhones have a stunning display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, and cutting-edge three-camera system, a very first for the iPhone. Plus, the iPhones look quite sleek in a fresh palette of colors and are powered by longer battery life.

The iPhones are available for pre-order from September 13, and available in stores from September 20. Here are some of the notable features of iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max you must know before you buy the latest smartphone from Apple.

Display
The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch LCD display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, True Tone, 1792×828 pixels, 1400:1 contrast ratio, 79.0% screen-to-body ratio, and Dolby Vision / HDR10. Comparatively, the iPhone 11 Pro has a slightly smaller screen size with 5.8-inch OLED display. Similar to iPhone 11, the Pro also has True Tone, Dolby Vision / HDR10, and the same aspect ratio. The screen resolution, however, is more at 2436 x 1125 pixels with 2,000000:1 contrast ratio. Thus, the Pro has double the aspect ratio with 15% more efficiency. Additionally, the screen-to-body ratio is 82.1%. The iPhone Pro Max is bigger than the other two with a display size of 6.5 inches. The resolution is also higher at 2688 x 1242 pixels with a screen-to-body ratio of 84.4%. With a larger screen size, the iPhone Pro Max will be a good choice for those who prefer a phablet.

Design
Compared to their earlier versions, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are heavier. The iPhone 11 Pro measures 144 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm (5.67 x 2.81 x 0.32 in) and weighs 188 g (6.63 oz). The earlier version, iPhone XS measured 5.7×2.79×0.3 in and weighed 174 g (6.14 oz). The Pro Max measures 158 x 77.8 x 8.1 mm (6.22 x 3.06 x 0.32 inches) and weighs 226 grams (7.97 oz.). The earlier version iPhone XS Max measured nearly the same but at a lower weight of 7.3 oz. or 208 g. However, the iPhone 11 is nearly the same as iPhone XR at 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 in and weighs 194 g (6.84 oz).

Another difference between iPhone 11 and the Pro is that the former has an aluminum chassis and the latter has a stainless-steel chassis. Also, the iPhone 11 has retained the glass back of the earlier versions, while the Pro and Pro Max have a matte finish. Furthermore, the color palette of the finishes is far more interesting. The iPhone 11 is available in six colors— Product (Red), black, white, yellow, green, and purple. The iPhone Pro and Pro Max are available in sober shades of space grey, silver, midnight green, and gold. All the three phones have screens with a rating of IP68 for water resistance for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 4 meters.

Camera
With an ultra-new camera system, Apple has stepped up their game. Although the rectangular camera humps may look bulky, the phones promise to deliver high-definition and high-intensity photos whether they are shot in daylight or at night. Also, the phones have a brighter True Tone flash. On the back, the iPhone 11 sports a two-camera system with a primary camera and an ultrawide camera, while iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max has a three-camera system with primary, ultrawide, and telephoto camera. The specs of the cameras are as follows:

• Front Camera: 12MP ‘TrueDepth’ module, f/2.2 aperture
• Primary Camera: 12 MP, f/1.8 aperture, 26mm, 4K 60fps video
• Ultrawide Camera: 12 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 13mm
• Telephoto Camera : 12 MP, f/2.0 aperture, 52mm (telephoto), 2x optical zoom

A significant feature is the ability of the ultrawide camera to shoot action videos. What’s more, is that users can shoot 4K videos! Additionally, the phones have the feature of easily zooming between each of the cameras. Another first for the latest iPhones is that they let users record videos without switching out of Photo Mode with a simple feature known as QuickTake.

Performance
The new iPhones come loaded with Apple’s new A13 Bionic chipset. It has supposedly the fastest CPU and GPU ever in a smartphone making the iPhones powerfully efficient. Additionally, the A13 chip is far more efficient than the previous A12, at nearly 40%. This gives a big boost to battery life.

Battery life

One of the biggest USPs of Apple’s 2019 iPhones is their long-lasting battery. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max reportedly last “4 hours” more than the previous version, that is iPhone XS, while the iPhone 11 runs 1 hour longer than the iPhone XS. The battery specs are as follows:

• iPhone 11 – 3110 mAh
