This Season, Sinus Symptoms Have Met Their Match

(ARA) - After a seemingly endless winter, do you still find yourself battling uncomfortable sinus symptoms and wanting to pull the covers over your head as opposed to basking in the spring sunshine? Does sinus pain keep you from getting out of that musty old gym and shaping up in the great outdoors?

If you experience symptoms such as sinus pain, pressure and congestion, stop worrying because help is here. You can spring into shape while enjoying the warmer temperatures -- and alleviate your sinus symptoms with the help of tennis legend and Olympic gold medalist Serena Williams. Serena's history of sinus problems hasn't kept her from being on top of her game!

With the help of her new doubles partner -- DayQuil Sinus and NyQuil Sinus products -- she's teamed up to announce the launch of the "Vicks Sinus Send-Off" national sweepstakes and to relieve sinus suffering so people can get on with their day and get the sleep they need.

"As I train for the Summer Grand Slams French Open and Wimbledon, it's so hard to play tennis, or do anything I enjoy when I feel sinus pressure, pain and congestion in my head," says Williams. "I can't let my sinus difficulties slow me down -- on or off the court. Vicks products relieve my worst sinus symptoms so I can play hard during the day and sleep well at night."

Serena has a new match to win -- Wimbledon! As part of the "Vicks Sinus Send-Off" sweepstakes on www.vickssinussendoff.com, one lucky grand prize winner will win an all-expense paid trip to Wimbledon 2007 to watch Serena play a match! The winner and a guest will be flown to London, England and experience the once-in-a lifetime chance to meet and take photos with Serena, plus receive VIP tickets to watch Serena compete at Wimbledon. Four first-prize winners will receive prize packets with a Wilson tennis racquet autographed by Serena, Wilson gear, Nike tennis apparel and DayQuil Sinus and NyQuil Sinus products to relieve sinus pain, pressure and congestion -- so they can have more playing time and sleep well.

With her seven Grand Slam victories at the Australian Open and win at the Sony Ericsson Open, the "Queen of Tennis" has found relief for her sinus difficulties and is coming back to reign as the best women's tennis player in the world -- plus she's going to Wimbledon 2007 as the favorite to win! Below Serena offers her favorite tips to help maintain healthy sinuses as the warmer weather lures you outside:

* Use a natural saline spray several times daily to keep the sinuses moist
* Don't drink iced drinks, as they can aggravate sinus problems
* Get plenty of rest, key to being at your best
* If possible, exercise outdoors to increase your circulation and clear sinus passages
* Make sure you are getting enough moisture in your bedroom at night and remember to close your windows: problems occur when the sinuses dry out, use a humidifier if necessary
* Take plenty of hot showers and inhale steam into the sinus passages
