Problem: Article: These medications block histamine, a substance your body makes as a response to allergens. Histamine is responsible for the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (sneezing, itchy eyes, and itchy, runny nose). Several antihistamines can be purchased over-the-counter and are taken once a day. Second-generation antihistamines, like loratadine, fexofenadine, and cetirizine are all designed to minimize drowsiness, a problem with first- generation antihistamines (like diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine). If seasonal allergies are the cause of your sinus headaches, try taking intranasal corticosteroids. These over-the-counter medications are the most effective at treating the allergies. Take fluticasone or triamcinolone spray daily, using one to two sprays in each nostril. You can take these medications topically (as nose sprays like oxymetazoline) or orally (as pseudoephedrine) to relieve nasal congestion. Topical decongestants can be used every 12 hours, but not for more than three to five days or you may develop rebound nasal congestion from decongestant overuse. Oral decongestants can be taken once or twice a day. These can be combined with antihistamines like loratadine, fexofenadine, and cetirizine. Because it a major ingredient of methamphetamine, or speed, pseudoephedrine, alone and in combination with antihistamines, is highly regulated and kept behind the pharmacy counter to prevent stockpiling by methamphetamine manufacturers. You can take aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen for short-term relief of sinus headaches. Even though over-the-counter pain relievers will not treat the underlying cause of a sinus headache, they can help reduce or remove the head pain associated with sinus trouble. Be sure to take them as directed on the packaging or by your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection that can accompany or cause sinus headaches. Symptoms of a bacterial sinus infection include a sore throat, yellow or green discharge from your nose, nasal congestion, fever, and fatigue. Acute bacterial sinusitis is treated with 10 to 14 days of antibiotics while chronic bacterial sinusitis needs three to four weeks of antibiotic treatment. Your doctor may also prescribe triptans, medications used to treat migraines. Research has shown that the majority of patients with sinus headaches had significant improvement in symptoms with triptans. Examples of triptans include sumatriptan, rizatriptan, zolmitriptan, almotriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan, and eletriptan. Your doctor may recommend allergy injections if you don't respond well to medication, have significant side effects from medication, or have allergen exposure that's unavoidable. An allergy specialist (allergist) will typically administer the injections. You'll meet with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist who can determine if you need surgery to prevent sinus headaches. Nasal polyps or bone spurs that might cause sinus infections can be surgically removed or your sinuses can be opened. For example, balloon rhinoplasty involves inserting a balloon into the nasal cavity and inflating it to enlarge the sinus cavity.
Summary: Take antihistamines. Use nasal decongestants. Take pain relievers. Take prescription medications. Consider getting allergy injections (immunotherapy). Find out about surgical options.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This method is much easier to do with an artificial tree as you can disassemble it and get at the "roots" of the branches. However, if you want a more illuminated tree and you have a real tree, it's possible it's just more work. Put all the branches in front of you, categorized by where they go on the tree. You'll be starting with the branches that line the bottom. Putting in only the bottom row makes it easier to line each branch with lights. Start at the base of one branch, wrap up to its tip, and back down to its root. Keep doing this around each branch on the bottom. Make sure the lights stay on the sides of the branch by really nestling them in there, or taking the strand and forming into a loop that you can place around the greens. Make sure the strands are snug on the tree and press them together if need be. The beauty of the artificial tree is that it's totally mold-able. Once every branch on the bottom is lined up and down, assemble the next level of the tree. Then, take your strand and move it up to the next set of branches, weaving back and forth like you just did, up and down, moving around and around. If you notice the lights are coming loose, you can wrap them around the branch, too. However, this takes a bit more of the length of the set, and you may be short at the top (unless you have plenty of lights to spare). As the tree gets smaller and smaller, you'll need fewer lights. Unless you want it brighter at the top, make sure you're using the same ratio of lights as you did on the bottom. As the tree gets thinner and thinner, your lighting work will be more and more visible. Take extra time toward the top to make sure your tree is as beautiful as possible. If some branches seem dimmer or brighter than others, adjust the lights as necessary, bringing them out to pop or nestling them in to be a bit dimmer. You may need to adjust the placement of the branches, too the one obstacle of the artificial tree. Make sure to test your lights in all different forms of lighting. Turn your house lights off and look at the tree; then, turn the house lights on. Experiment with all the settings on your strands if applicable, and take a minute to refine it to your tastes. It'll be worth it this is the centerpiece of Christmas after all.

SUMMARY: If you have an artificial tree, take it apart. Put in the very bottom row of branches and light them up and down on each branch. Assemble the middle of the tree, using the same method. Keep moving up to the top, lighting up and down and back and forth to illuminate the tree. Step back, take a look, and modify as necessary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set the food dehydrator to between 100 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit (38 to 52 degrees Celsius) and leave the corn inside to dry. You want the corn to be at 10 percent moisture before you increase the temperature in the food dehydrator. You'll know the corn is at ten percent moisture when it weighs .5 ounces (14.2 grams) less per pound (.45 kilograms) than it did before you started the malting process. Raise it to between 140 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (60 to 71 degrees Celsius). The corn will be finished drying when it's between three and six percent moisture content, or when it's lost three ounces (85 grams) per pound (.45 kilograms) of its original weight. The entire drying and process can take between six to eight hours. Set the oven between 176 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit (80 to 85 degrees Celsius). After four hours, the corn will be finished kilning and malting.
Summary:
Dry the corn in a food dehydrator to stop the germination process. Weigh the corn after several hours to check the moisture content. Increase the temperature when the corn is at ten percent moisture. Transfer the corn to a baking sheet and put it in the oven for four hours.
