Sinus Infection Disease and Symptoms and Cures of Sinus
#1
[size=4][b]Sinus Infection Disease - Symptoms and Cures of Sinus Infection Disease[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection disease is caused by the blockage of the sinus cavities. This blockage is caused by the inflammation of the lining of these cavities. The lining of the sinus cavity can get inflamed due to several reasons. Those reasons could be a pre-existing cold or viral infection, bacteria or allergy. The sinus cavities are tiny air pockets in the skull. They basically reduce the weight of the skull, produce mucous which lines the sinus cavity and provide resonance to the voice.

[size=large][b]Millions of People Across the World Suffer from Sinus Infection Disease[/b][/size][hr]This disease is not a rarity nor is it extremely complex to treat. It is important to take proper medication as soon as the first sign of sinusitis is observed. We have not included any imaginary or false information on Sinusitis here. Everything here is true and up to the mark!

[size=large][b]Another Method of Curing Sinusitis is Nasal Irrigation[/b][/size][hr]Nasal irrigation is normally used in case of children who cannot take very heavy medication. This is a very safe side effect free method of treating sinus infection disease. In this method, saline water is used to wash out the infected mucous from the nasal cavities. Surgery may also be considered in some extreme cases which do not respond to any medical treatment. Apart from medication, inhaling steam and taking a hot compress over the affected parts of the face also gives some relief to people suffering from sinusitis.

[size=large][b]Most Cases of Sinus Infection Disease Respond to a Course of Antibiotics[/b][/size][hr]Anti-allergic medicines and anti inflammatory drugs also help at times. Some doctors may prescribe nasal sprays which are oral decongestants. These sprays help in dislodging the infected mucous from the nasal cavities. Wink

[size=large][b]Homeopathy is Another Way of Curing Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]It is a very safe, symptom based cure to sinusitis. In this method of treatment, the medicine may vary from person to person depending upon the symptoms each person complains of. The condition of the patient is not as important as reporting each and every symptom to the doctor is. Enhancing your vocabulary is our intention with the writing of this article on Sinusitis. We have used new and interesting words to achieve this.

Some of the symptoms of sinus infection disease are slow fever, nasal discharge which may contain a little blood, headaches, cheek pain, pain in the whole face, facial swelling, jaw pain and toothache. Jaw pain and toothache increases while bending. Sinus may also cause temporary blindness, double or blurred vision. Acute cases of sinus may affect the brain too.

[list][*]When the air cavities with in the nasal passage gets inflamed such situation is known as Sinusitis.[*]Sinusitis is one of the most widespread conditions that causes problem to people throughout their lives.[*]It mainly arises when environmental pollutions bother the nasal passages.[*]Sinusitis can also be due to other irritants irritants, such as chemicals or the over use of the nasal sprays.[*]Sinusitis can also be caused by virus or bacterial infection.[*]Sinus infection can be due to anything that obstructs with airflow into the sinuses and the drainage of mucous out of the sinuses.[*]For Sinus infection treatment doctors prescribe Expectorants that helps to push out the thick mucus from the nasal passage.[*]The mucus becomes thin and it can easily flow out from the nose.[*]There are surgical methods for sinus infection treatment.[*]Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the technique used for treatment.[*]Person suffering from the infection should go in for such treatment only if all the other methods fail.[*]Treatment for sinus infection can begin from home just at the onset of it before it becomes chronic.[*]Simple care at home can open the sinus nasal passage and improve their dryness.[*]There should be much intake of hot liquid beverages to keep the dryness away.[*]Inhalation with steamed water with a drop eucalyptus oils helps to a great extent.[*]Time and tide waits for no man.[*]So once we got an idea for writing on Sinus Surgery, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately![/list]

[size=large][b]For Sinusitis Caused by Virus Infection, Antibiotic Cure is Not Necessary[/b][/size][hr]Only acute sinus infection from bacteria is generally taken care of with antibiotic treatment. That is when there is much facial pain pus generation and other self care treatment does not seem to work. Medicines for pain such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen can lessen the pain and inflammation. These medications help to open the nasal passage by reducing inflammation.and must be able to kill the bacterial types. Medications like Amoxicillin (Amoxil) , cefaclor (Ceclor), loracarbef (Lorabid), clarithromycin (Biaxin), azithromycin (Zithromax), sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra) antibiotic may be used as first choices to treat sinus. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Sinuses Treatment. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

[list][*]Sinusitis can be classified according to the location of the sinuses affected.[*]Maxillary sinus problems cause pain and pressure in the cheek area.[*]It may also cause headache and toothache.[/list]

Like other sinusitis, maxillary sinus problems are also treated through anti-biotics and analgesics but one may need to go to a dentist for toothache especially if it has got unbearable. Continued sinusitis may lead to poor development of teeth. Hence be careful and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Sinus. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance.

[size=medium][b]Top 10 Natural Remedies for Sinus Infections - Healthy Holistic Living[/b][/size]


Quote:Initially, to relieve headache and pain on the cheeks analgesics with anti-biotics are prescribed by the general physicians but if the infection has become acute then one may have to go to an ENT clinic and stronger anti-biotics may be needed together with other kinds of treatment besides medicines. This is so not just with maxillary sinus problems but with other kinds of sinusitis as well. We were actually wondering how to get about to writing about Sinusitis. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!

[size=large][b]One of the Most Effective Treatments in Sinusitis is Nasal Irrigation[/b][/size][hr]This applies to all kinds and types of sinusitis in general and is quite effective in dealing with maxillary sinus problems as well. This moistens the nasal area and makes the sinus exit to get unblocked. One should also take hot showers regularly and inhale steam from a pot of hot water for the same purpose. Despite all this treatment if the sinusitis persists or recurs regularly then surgery may be an option. However doctors go for it only as a last resort. Before this zinc treatment and dietary supplements are used for quite a long period and results are observed.

[size=large][b]Everybody, on Each Side of Their Nose Has a Sinus Called Maxillary Sinus[/b][/size][hr]The roots of the back teeth on the upper jaw go into the maxillary sinuses on the left and the right sides. If there is an infection in the sinuses, it gets filled up with fluid and makes the whole of sinus lining to get inflamed. This makes a person to feel pain in his or her back teeth on the upper jaw and brings a kind of persistent metallic taste in the mouth. This is the root cause or basic reason for maxillary sinus problems. It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Sinus if they are presented in an easy and clear way. The presentation of an article too is important for one to entice people to read it!

Your nose is stuffy during the pollen seasons in the spring and fall, check with an allergist. Allergy injections can help control your symptoms. If your stuffy nose started after puberty, you don't have allergies and your nose is stuffy 12 months a year, allergy injections usually are ineffective. Antihistamines and decongestant pills help to control your symptoms a little. Cortisone-type pills are highly effective but have side effects, such as obesity and osteoporosis. Cortisone-type nasal sprays are safer than the pills. So doctors are continuously searching for better ways to treat people with chronically stuffy and running noses.

All day and night, it is normal for you to breathe through one side of your nose and then the other. It is abnormal for the turbinates on both sides to swell at the same time and cause a stuffy nose. If your nose is stuffy in the spring and fall, you probably have an allergy and need allergy tests. If you have thick yellow or green mucous, you probably have an infection and need a culture and antibiotics. If you are exposed to irritants such as hair spray or smoke, that is probably the cause, and if your stuffiness is worse in the winter, the cause is probably breathing dry, cold air. If no cause is found, your doctor usually diagnoses vasomotor rhinitis which means that he doesn't have the foggiest idea what's causing your stuffiness and the only relatively safe and effective treatment offered today is daily use of a cortisone nasal spray such as Vancenase, Beconase or Rhinocort.

[size=large][b]Researchers At the Mayo Clinic Found Fungi in 96 Percent of People With Chronic Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]The most common fungi are alternaria, penicillium, cladosporium, aspergillus, candida and fusarium. A sinus cat scan will tell whether a person has a sinus infection. If the cat scan shows fluid levels indicating a sinus infection, the doctor should order a fungus culture of the nose. If the culture is positive for fungi, the doctor should consider treatment with antifungal medication, even though there are no good studies to show the fungal medicines cure sinusitis, because the present treatment of cortisones works only in the short run, and shortens life by causing osteoporosis, high blood pressure and obesity. If the fungus infection is positive, the person should be treated with the appropriate anti-fungal medication such as Sporanox, Lamisil or Diflucan. In addition to what we had mentioned in the previous paragraph, much more has to be said about Sinusitis Common. If space permits, we will state everything about it.

[size=large][b]Your Nose is Supposed to Clean, Heat and Moisturize the Air that You Breathe[/b][/size][hr]The inside of your nose is covered with a sticky mucous that traps dirt, pollen, mold and other pollutants and prevents them from reaching your lungs. Inside of each nostril are large ridges called turbinates that have large blood vessels in them. When the inner lining of one side of your nose fills up with pollutants, the blood vessels inside the turbinates enlarge and swell the turbinates so they stop air from entering that side of your nose and force you to breathe through the other side of your nose. Then small hairs called cilia in the lining of your nose sweep the mucous and filth toward your mouth where you swallow them and they pass from your body.

[list][*]Sinusitis infection may start off with common cold symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and congestion.[*]But when it is not handled right away, it can lead to much more severe problems.[/list]

There are numerous medications and treatments meant to help relive the problems that the sinusitis brings to the sufferer. One of the most common treatments is oral medications such as antibiotics, decongestants, and anti-fungals. Oral medications work on infections and other problems by traveling through the blood stream to the infected area. In the sinus cavities there are very few blood vessels. Since the oral medications use the blood stream to flow to the area where they are needed, only a small amount of the medication can be delivered to the sinusitis infection which may lead to little or no relief from the treatment. Also since these medications use the blood stream, it then is distributed through out the rest of the body also which can lead to many side effects such as stomach pain, drowsiness, amongst many others depending on which type of medication is being used.

There are many different treatments which are meant to clear up the sinusitis and the problems which occur with it. It is important to find the treatment that works best for you and to treat the sinusitis before it worsens and surgery is then left as the only option.

The problems which may occur with acute sinusitis may include cough, congestion, facial pain and pressure, headache, green nasal discharge, and postnasal drip. When the sinusitis infection lasts for twelve or more weeks it is known as chronic sinusitis and can have added problems such as loss of sense of taste and smell and fatigue may also be experienced. Other symptoms may also occur depending on which sinus cavity that the infection lies in. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Clear Sinusitis worth reading!

[size=large][b]Sinusitis is Generally Caused by a Cold or an Allergy[/b][/size][hr]When a cold or allergy takes place, swelling of the sinus cavity lining occurs. When bacteria enter the sinus cavities, they attack the swollen lining which then causes greater inflammation. The cilia usually flushes out the bacteria and mucus. When this amount of inflammation occurs, the cilia can no longer function as it should and so the bacteria and mucus end up becoming trapped in the cavities and as a result the sinusitis infection begins.

[size=large][b]There are Also Many Treatments Which are Directly Distributed Into the Sinus Cavities[/b][/size][hr]These treatments are generally meant to help moisten the cilia so that it can flush out the trapped mucus and bacteria. Nasal sprays are commonly used and can be prescribed or purchased over the counter. The nasal sprays may offer some relief to the lower part of the sinuses but often times may not help the infection since their particle sizes are too large to make it past the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities and up to the sinusitis infection. The same holds true for a treatment called irrigation which distributes saline up to the sinus cavities. Irrigation is also very messy and generally unsuccessful in offering relief.

[list][*]Question: I AM a 23-year-old female.[*]What is the cure for sinusitis ?[*]I have been taking cod liver oil, vitamin C, and Horseradish and Garlic supplements for the past four month.[*]Will it cure my sinusitis or only lessen the virus ? Wink[/list]

Good immunity is the basic way to fight against sinusitis, and lessen the allergy and virus that contribute to it. Consider taking zinc supplement containing vitamin C as they are useful to boost or strengthen immune system. The recommended daily dosage for the zinc is 15mg. Echinachea is known to enhance body's immune system by stimulating the body's natural defence mechanisms by stimulating the production of macrophages, the white blood cells that eat foreign particles. It also has anti-viral and natural antibiotic properties.

Therefore, infection of sinusitis travels from the mouth, nose and throat along the mucous membrane lining. A person, who is suffering from sinusitis, may experience severe headache over the affected sinus area and the nose may be blocked on the affected side. Wink

Allergy, repeated attacks of acute sinusitis or inadequate treatment of acute sinusitis combined with nasal obstruction cause a chronic sinusitis (long-standing). Acute (short-lived) sinusitis is caused by nasal infection in which the sinuses become blocked by the common cold or by any feverish respiratory illness such as influenza. Other than that, acute sinusitis may also be caused by a dental abscess, a fracture of bone in the face or sudden pressure change.
