Sinus Tinnitus Treatment, Some Signs and Symptoms of Sinus
#1
Rainbow 
[size=4][b]Sinus Tinnitus Treatment - Some Signs and Symptoms of Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]Our head has four sinus cavities. They are a very important part of our body. Infection or inflammation in the cavities can cause immense pain and pressure. Sinusitis refers to the infection caused by an inflamed, infected or mucous filled sinus cavity. Signs and symptoms of sinus infection are similar to those of a common cold. The only difference being that these symptoms do not respond to medication normally given for a common cold. Sinus can also be caused due to an allergy of some kind. People living in dusty areas complain of sinus more often.

Quote:[list][*]Is recommended that a person sees a doctor as soon as he recognizes the signs and symptoms of sinus infection.[*]A minor cold or allergy may lead to some extremely painful consequences.[/list]

The signs and symptoms of sinus infection are fairly visible and easy to detect. Some doctors also do tests like x-rays and CT Scans to confirm a sinus infection. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Sinus Headache that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

There are times when a person feels that his/ her cold is not ready to go away. No medication seems to be of any help. Such people should refer to a doctor immediately. Allergies and colds that refuse to go away are sure shot signs and symptoms of sinus infection. The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Sinus Cavities. So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Sinus Cavities.

Sinus infection should be attended to as soon as possible because it can turn chronic which may lead to unnecessary complications and surgery. Other signs and symptoms of sinus infection include inflammation and redness in the nasal passage, redness and swelling in the eyes, tenderness of facial muscles, fever, toothache and headache. The toothache and headache increase on bending. Fever is a symptom which is rarely associated with sinus. But a combination of two or more such symptoms is a sure shot sign of sinus.

All of us have hollow cavities around the nose in the cheek bones called sinuses. They produce and send mucus into the nose through small channels. Inflammation of the lining of sinus blocking the normal drainage of mucus in the sinuses is known as Acute Sinusitis. Sometimes it becomes chronic lasting for months. The infection spreads to the space around the eye, into the blood and bones or even into the brain.

[size=large][b]Symptoms of Acute Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]The common symptoms are blocked nose or and throbbing pain in the infected area. High fever may also develop for some. Difficulty in breathing through the nose and in some cases reduced sense of smell may also occur. Sometimes there is a runny nose with greenish or yellow discharge caused by the infected mucus or pus. When the thick mucus blocks the channels the pain and tenderness may worsen. Headache, cough, pressure in the ears, toothache and bad breath are other symptoms. Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Sinusitis. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance. :o.

[size=large][b]Treating Acute Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Normally there is no need for any treatment of this condition. The immune system will deal with the viral infection and the symptoms disappear within a week. If the symptoms do not clear within a week, antibiotics may be prescribed by doctors. Pain killers may be used for pain relief. Nasal sprays may help in clearing the congestion in the nasal passage. Traditionally acute sinusitis is treated with steam inhalation. A Warm shower is also advised for breathing in the moist and warm air. Applying warm and damp towels can ease facial pain. It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Sinuses 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!

[size=large][b]Causes of Acute Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]They are usually caused by infection; most common of them is frontal sinus, affecting the cheekbones. Allergies may cause inflammation and block the nasal passages. If the wall between the nostrils called septum is corked it may block the sinus passage. Growth of tissues called nasal polyps may restrict the nasal channels. Some other medical conditions like cystic fibrosis, HIV and other diseases may cause nasal blockage.

[size=large][b]Sinusitis Infection May Appear to be a Common Cold When It First Begins[/b][/size][hr]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. Wink

[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. Our objective of this article on Sinuses was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Sinuses, and compare it with what we have printed here. Smile

[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. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Sinuses projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.

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. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Sinus Infection. that was our intention, to astonish you.

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.

The problems which may occur with acute sinusitis may include cough, congestion, facial pain and pressure, headache, green nasal discharge, and postnasal drip. Herbal remedies for sinus 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. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Sinus Cavities. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Sinus Cavities.

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.

[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. There are no boundaries on countries for one to access information about Sinus Treatment through the Internet. All one has to do is to surf, and then the required matter is availed!

[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'.[*]You actually learn more about Sinus Infections only with more reading on matters pertaining to it.[*]So the more articles you read like this, the more you learn about Sinus Infections. [/list]

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. You must have searched high and low for some matter for Sinusitis, isn't it? That is the main reason we compiled this article for you to get that required matter!

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.

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. Big Grin.

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. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Chronic Sinusitis worth reading!

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found fungi in 96 percent of people with chronic sinusitis. 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. When a child shows a flicker of understanding when talking about Sinus, we feel that the objective of the meaning of Sinus being spread, being achieved.

[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. We have to be very flexible when talking to children about Sinus. They seem to interpret things in a different way from the way we see things! Smile
