Sinus Flush, How Sinusitis May Appear as a Cold
#1
Thumbs Up 
[size=4][b]Sinus Flush - How Sinusitis May Appear as a Cold[/b][/size][hr]Sinusitis infection may appear to be a common cold when it first begins. Cold symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and congestion generally exist. Sinusitis cannot be treated with cold medication and if it is in fact sinusitis, it needs to be treated quickly before more severe symptoms occur.

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 becomes chronic and lasts for twelve or more weeks, a person can have added problems such as loss of sense of taste and smell and fatigue may also take place. Other symptoms may also occur depending on which sinus cavity that the infection lies in. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Sinusitis Therapy, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.

Quote:Aerosolized medications are a newer treatment which also distributes the medications directly into the nasal cavities. Aerosolized medications are used similar to nebulized asthma medications. These antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories are broken down into a small particle size so that it can pass the inflammation and make its way up to the sinusitis infection. Generally a small amount of these medications are used which results in little to no side effects in the rest of the body.

[size=large][b]Treatments Such as Nasal Sprays and Irrigation are Also Frequently Used[/b][/size][hr]These treatments are distributed directly into the nasal cavities. These treatments are used to 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 is for irrigation which usually uses a water pick to distribute saline up to the sinus cavities. Irrigation is also very messy and generally unsuccessful in treating the sinusitis infection. Writing something about Sinus Infection seemed to be something illogical in the beginning. However, with the progress of matter, it seemed logical. Matter just started pouring in, to give you this finished product.

There are several medications and other treatments that are meant to help offer relief for the symptoms that occur with a sinusitis infection. Oral medications such as antibiotics, decongestants, and anti-fungals are commonly used treatments for sinusitis. Oral medications work on infections and by traveling through the blood stream to the area where the infection lies. Oral medications use the blood stream to travel to the area where they are needed, but in the sinus cavities there are only a small amount of blood vessels so only a small amount of the medication can be delivered to the sinusitis infection which generally leads to little or no relief from the treatment. These medications can also cause side effects throughout the rest of the body since they travel through the blood stream and through the whole body. We had at first written a rough assignment on Treating Sinusitis. Then after a few improvisions and enhancements here and there, we have ended up with this end product.

[size=large][b]There are Many Treatment Options for Sinusitis Suffers[/b][/size][hr]Treatments will work different for each person because our bodies are so different and react differently. It's important to know the difference between when you are getting a cold and getting a sinusitis infection and to know what treatments work best for you. Opportunity knocks once. So when we got the opportunity to write on Acute Sinusitis, we did not let the opportunity slip from our hands, and got down to writing on Acute Sinusitis.

Order to get rid of sinusitis the patient must follow the doctor's treatment along with applying easy home remedies. When giving a patient a prescription the doctor thinks of medicines which will reduce the pressure in the sinuses by draining the mucus out, by killing the bacteria which produced the infection, and will also consider a treatment which will protect the nasal tissues from any damage.

[list][*]The acute sinusitis generally lasts in a person for three weeks and can disappear even without a proper treatment.[*]Sometimes these sinus infections are caused by viruses so they do not need antibiotic treatment.[*]The best treatment for one person is to be decided by the doctor who will know exactly what type of sinusitis that patient has. [/list]

[b]Those who sinusitis has been present for a long time the period of recovery will be longer than in those who have had sinusitis only for a few days so the might need a longer antibiotic treatment.[/b]

The drug therapy can least three days or a week depending on what drugs have been used and of the severity of the infection in the sinuses. The treatment is generally based on anti-biotherapy along with decongestants, analgesics, corticosteroids and mucolytics. Nowadays doctors prescribe antibiotic drugs which are to be inhaled by the patient and so will create a better contact between the antibiotic and the affected sinus, clearing up the infection faster.

[list][*]The chronic sinusitis is known to be when the symptoms have been present for more than 3 weeks in a person.[*]This form of disease is a lot more difficult to treat than the acute one.[*]The period of anti-biotherapy might last from 3 to 4 weeks and needs to be associated with corticosteroid therapy.[/list]

At home, the patient can use steam inhalation or warm compresses applied on the face in order to reduce the symptoms and get better faster. Most people will get from their doctor an antibiotic drug prescription and they must follow the treatment as their doctor told them to and for the recommended period of time otherwise the treatment might be inefficient and not all the infection will be cleared out. Self-praise is no praise. So we don't want to praise ourselves on the effort put in writing on Www Sinus. instead, we would like to hear your praise after reading it!

Sometimes the treatment with antibiotic does not give any result and this only happens when the sinus infection is produced by fungus or viruses and not by bacteria. Therefore, antifungal therapy along with corticosteroid or even surgery is needed. Surgery is the last option of treatment but it is necessary when complications like the infection of the facial bones had occurred. Smile

[size=4][b]Mr Sinus - Sinus Headache Symptoms, Knowing is the First Step to Prevention[/b][/size][hr]The pain can be almost indescribable at times. Whenever a sinus headache appears, most people have nothing on their mind but making it go away. Sinus headaches can flare up for any number of reasons but once they appear they tend to stick around for awhile. If you suffer from sinus headaches than I'm sure that you can tell when one is about to appear, even well in advance. At times, however, it may be difficult to separate a sinus headache from a migraine headache without knowing the sinus headache symptoms. Here's how you can tell the difference.

[size=large][b]The Sinuses are Amazing Part of the Human Body[/b][/size][hr]The cavities themselves actually are behind our cheeks and stretch way up into your forehead. They help to give our face its unique shape and protect our brain from blunt force trauma. All that is of little consolation, however, if you are suffering as a result of your sinuses. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Sinus Headache, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.

[list][*]Sinus headache symptoms tend to be steady in nature, such as the pressure that you are feeling in your nasal passages.[*]A migraine headache will be throbbing or pounding, as it is often described, and typically gets worse whenever you bend forward.[*]Sinus headache pain also tends to stay steady, unlike a migraine headache, whenever exposed to light conditions and loud noises.[/list]

Understanding what the sinus headache symptoms are can help you to get to the bottom of your problem. Treating a sinus headache as if it were a migraine would do you little good as it is really necessary for you to get to the bottom of the problem in order to cure it. Once you know that you have a sinus headache, you can treat it like a sinus headache. Writing something about Sinus seemed to be something illogical in the beginning. However, with the progress of matter, it seemed logical. Matter just started pouring in, to give you this finished product.

[size=large][b]Most Sinus Headaches Come on as a Result of a Sinus Infection, or Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]The following are sinus headache symptoms that accompany this particular type of infection. It's interesting to note, before we get into actually giving you the symptoms, that they do tend to come on in the morning when you first get up. The symptoms include a nasal discharge that is yellow or green in color, fever, persistent cough, a sore throat and fatigue. It is not surprising that the symptoms are actually often mistaken for a migraine headache all there are a few notable differences. We had at first written a rough assignment on Sinus Headache. Then after a few improvisions and enhancements here and there, we have ended up with this end product.

Many people suffer from an excess of candida in their bodies, and sinus problems are among the effects. The yeast (a form of fungus), is called candida and the disease is referred to as candidiasis. If you feel listless, achy, or even light-headed or 'spacy', in addition to having sinus and other health problems, you many have an excess of candida.

Sinus problems are only one of the many issues that are confronted with candida. When candida spread throughout the body they tend to congregate in moist mucous tissue in the lungs and nasal areas, so sinus problems are often a result of candida. Other symptoms include sluggishness and a feeling of being 'spaced out', irritability, depression, mood swings, as well as itching and burning sensations when urinating. Diarrhea, cramping or constipation, and of course stuffy or runny nose and sinus infections are also experienced by candidiasis sufferers. Also noted as symptoms are cravings for certain foods, such as breads, sugars, cheeses, and alcohol. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Nose Sinus. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

Unfortunately there is no easy test that can be used to determine if one has the disease, and many people tend to diagnose the problem themselves after numerous visits to a doctor, who cannot diagnose exactly what is wrong with them. Many candida sufferers are told 'it's all in your head'. There is a simple test of spitting into a glass and observing the mucus and how it dissipates. This seems rather folkloric, but there are usually grains of truth in folklore. Certainly this would not constitute a definitive diagnosis, but it might give some people an indication. This test is easily found on an internet search with the keyword, candida. Oftentimes the best diagnosis is to set out on a course of treatment to see if there is improvement in the patient's conditions. Background questionnaires are also commonly used to determine probability of the presence of candida. If this seems possible and one has a number of the symptoms, it would make sense to seek out a physician or specialist who has extensive experience in treating fungal diseases.

[size=large][b]Treatment is Not Simple and Generally Consists of a 'Candida' Diet[/b][/size][hr]This diet is high in protein and vegetables and low on carbohydrates. It must be difficult to maintain this type of diet for extended periods. The diet aims to take away the fuel needed by candida to thrive. There are products available on the internet that claim to help candida patients, and one should research these thoroughly before taking them. Certainly one should obtain a doctor's opinion before taking some sort of supplement. One could even try to personally contact people who have given endorsements for the product. Some of these are not very expensive, however, and the cost of trying them, given approval by a doctor, might be worth the cost and effort.

[size=large][b]Candida can Flourish in the Body When the Immune System is Impaired[/b][/size][hr]The disease is often a result of taking too many courses of antibiotics or other medications that can harm the immune system. Dr. Robert Ivker, in his book 'Sinus Survival' states 'What I have repeatedly observed in my practice is that the vast majority of people with chronic sinusitis, who have taken three or more ten-day to two-week courses of antibiotics within a six month period, probably have some degree of candidiasis.' Certain hormones can also contribute to the disease, including those in birth control pills, as can cortisone medications such as prednisone. A high-sugar diet can also help the growth of candida, which uses sugar as a food. Diabetics have a higher than normal propensity for having candidiasis. Sinus Survival are versatile as they are found in all parts and walks of life. It all depends on the way you take it.

[list][*]Sinusitis in itself is a difficult problem to live with as is well documented at ***** but candida sufferers must endure other health issues as well.[*]Many of these supplement products and more information can be found easily by doing an internet search for 'candida' or 'candidiasis'.[/list]

About 32 million people are estimated to be suffering from chronic sinusitis. Millions of dollars are being spent on medications to get relief from sinus symptoms. Generally sinusitis is caused by allergies, cold or infections of the sinus area. Even though many over the counter sinus drugs are available it is better to seek medical advice for better treatment and prevention. The usual bacterial sinus infection symptoms are swelling in the area around the nose and blockage of sinus passages and headache.

[list][*]Treatment Expectorants thin the mucus and expel it from the lungs and respiratory passages.[*]They also enhance the drainage of the mucus from sinuses.[*]Over the counter antibiotic medications can also help in reducing the bacterial sinus infection symptoms.[*]Acetaminophen can also help in reducing pain and fever.[*]Antibodies can continue till 21 days in certain cases.[*]If the patient does not respond to this then surgical procedure needs to be done.[*]We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on Acute Sinusitis Fatigue.[*]There is still a lot more to be learnt![/list]

[size=large][b]Bacterial Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]If sinusitis persists for less than a month it is acute sinusitis. If it continues for more than three months, it becomes chronic sinusitis. Most of the infections are caused by viruses. A few cases of infections are caused by bacteria also. Allergies and environmental irritations cause non infectious sinusitis. The patient may respond with over the counter medications or a longer course and in some cases need physical draining which requires hospitalization. Severe headache, red eyes or painful eyes or even double vision or temporary vision loss are some of the symptoms of acute sinusitis. There may be fatigue, fever or lack of response to decongestants in some others. Perhaps you may not have been interested in this passage on Sinusitis. In that case, please don't spread this feedback around!

[size=large][b]Causes of Bacterial Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Polluted air, allergens, food allergy and smoke that block the nasal passages can cause sinusitis. A growth or tumor may cause the blockage which can be removed by surgery. Cocaine and such drugs taken through the nasal channels can also cause the infection. Sinus sprays can kill the bacteria and the microbes that cause the bacterial sinus infection symptoms. The sprays have the risk of becoming addictive. Lack of humidity can damage the small hairs called cilia in the nasal passage resulting in the mucus stagnating in that area and allowing bacteria to grow and start an infection.
