Sphenoid Sinus Ostium
#1
Exclamation 
[size=4][b]Sphenoid Sinus Ostium - Sinus Infection or Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is an infection of the paranasal sinuses. This could be a result of an infection, bacteria, fungus, a virus, an allergy or an autoimmune issue. There are four classifications of sinusitis. They are maxillary sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, ethmoid sinusitis and sphenoid sinusitis. Maxillary sinusitis is pain in the area of the cheek or mouth. This most commonly coincides with a toothache or headache. Frontal sinusitis causes pain in the frontal cavity above and behind the eyes. Ethmoid sinusitis causes pain either behind and/or between the eyes and sphenoid sinusitis causes pain behind the eyes but more so in the vertex of the head.

An acute sinusitis attack will cause a discharge of green fluids without blood and is usually caused by a toothache or sever headache. Sometimes a sinus infection can be a one and done thing. Not all people who suffer from sinus infections suffer from them on a weekly or even yearly basis. Most sufferers of sinus infections have them occur once in a blue moon but when they do suffer from them the pain is almost unbearable because they aren't accustomed to it. We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Sinus Infection. What we have done here is our copyright material! Wink

Sinus infections are difficult to distinguish between because the various stages have relatively the same symptoms. An infection can last less than four weeks (acute), four to twelve weeks (subacute), or for 12 weeks or longer (chronic). All types of sinus infections can be diagnosed by a doctor clinically and can be treated by a doctor. One of the most common treatments is rest and relaxation. Doctors recommend a decongestant and painkiller to relieve a patient of their symptoms and if that doesn't work the doctor will then prescribe an antibiotic called Amoxicillin. It was our decision to write so much on Sinus after finding out that there is still so much to learn on Sinus.

[size=large][b]One Thing that Does Irritate the Senses When Using this Procedure is Plain, Cold Water[/b][/size][hr]Many doctors recommend using a type of warm salt water and a buffering agent such as sodium bicarbonate. This will help the mucus membrane react in a more positive way. For some of the more chronic sufferers of sinusitis, nasal or sinus surgery might be the best and only option to relieve symptoms. One of the more popular and recent surgeries has been balloon sinuplasty. This is where balloons are utilized to widen the openings of the sinuses. Surgery should only be considered for patients that do not experience relief from everyday medications such as nasal decongestant sprays, antibiotics or any over the counter medicines.

[size=large][b]Mucus is Made Out of Interlinked Layers of Protein[/b][/size][hr]When mucus covers the back areas of the throat and tongue, it will create an environment that is oxygen free. This condition is known as post nasal drip and it is a direct cause of bad breath in people suffering from sinusitis. Anaerobic bacteria can feed on it and often that post nasal drip can cover large areas of the mouth allowing bacteria to easily multiply and produce waste products. These result in the foul smell we are familiar with. Patients suffering from sinusitis can also experience a constant need to swallowing because of mucus gathering at the back of the throat.
