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
