Ask Yourself, How Deadly can Chronic Sinusitis

[size=4][b]Chronic Sinusitis - Ask Yourself, How Deadly can Chronic Sinusitis be[/b][/size][hr]Chronic sinusitis is one type of sinusitis that rarely occurs to people. It usually takes a longer time to clear up than the other types of sinusitis bloody nose. A combination of numerous factors is said to be responsible for the occurrence of chronic sinusitis one of them being allergic reactions from substances such as pollen, mold and dust. When these allergens (factors that contribute to allergic reactions in the body) are inhaled, they cause a chain of reactions and as a result of this, body compounds which include histamine, are released as products. Histamine on the other hand, is known to inflame the nostril tracts and therefore making the lining of the air pathways to swell and in turn cause an obstruction of air in the air passages. This action makes it conducive for the bacteria present in the nostrils to multiply and infect the sinuses. Another way that this type of sinusitis can come to happen is through structural defects found in the nose. This may include the existence of minute growths commonly known as polyps in the nostrils or at times having a deviated septum (a bony section separating the 2 nasal passages).

People who have health conditions which destroy the body immune system like AIDS, Diabetes and so on, are said to be prone to this type of sinusitis since the body does not have enough white blood cells and necessary antibodies to fight it out with the infectious bacteria. This is why you will always see that the infection takes a long time to heal even when the patient is on medication.

However, in cases whereby structural abnormalities are the main cause of chronic sinusitis, surgery seems to be the best option. For children, the condition is most of the time cured by extracting their adenoids which always prove to be the main obstructors of air in the air passages and in adults, removal of polyps has always been seen as the most suitable way to treat chronic sinusitis once and for all. Reading all this about Nasal Congestion is sure to help you get a better understanding of Nasal Congestion. So make full use of the information we have provided here.

Quote:When you have chronic sinusitis, you always find it hard to breathe because of the air blockage in the air passages. This forces you to breathe with more effort and for this reason, pain is usually felt in places where sinuses are located and this may contribute to headaches. Nasal congestion then follows up due to mucus from the mucous glands being produced in plenty and accumulating in the air passages. As if all this is not enough, coughing catches up with you and then sneezing follows and finally a nasal discharge resembling pus starts coming out of your nose frequently. Moreover, for a severe case of chronic sinusitis, the patient may not be able to smell any kind of smell or odor coming out of substances. However, something different with chronic sinusitis is that, instead of the patient experiencing fever like in many other types of sinusitis conditions, under chronic sinusitis, the patient always feels fatigued instead and this makes the person needing to rest every time they get a chance. :o.

Once your doctor has diagnosed you with chronic sinusitis, he will be able to prescribe a suitable course of treatment for you. This may include medicine such as antibiotics which include Amoxillin antibiotics or suggest other therapeutic measures such as administering nasal sprays which operate by shrinking whatever swelling has taken place in the nostrils. Home remedies like drinking hot liquids throughout the day may also help ease the situation. Hot liquids such as hot tea, help moisturize your cilia (minute hairs found on the surfaces of cells found in the nose which help wipe out any excess mucus in the nostrils) thus making them move with high speed and in the process, removing any content of mucus in the nostril that may cause congestion. Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Sinusitis Patient? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.

Several complications can occur due to the presence of chronic sinusitis in the body. Meningitis is one common complication that may occur because of suffering a severe case of this type of sinusitis. For a person to have meningitis, it will mean that the disease must have spread to the brain. Vision problems are also commonly noticed by people who let the infection spread until it reaches the eye socket where it impairs the person's ability to see properly. Responsibility is what makes a person. So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Sinusitis Patient so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it!

[size=large][b]Modern Living, Complex Health Problems[/b][/size][hr]In our post-modern industrial polluted stress-filled bad-diet culture, no one's health is simple. We are plagued by complex long-term illnesses like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, AIDS, even sinus problems... it may seem weird to you that I include sinus infections, but the root causes of sinus trouble can be quite complicated... Especially if they are long-term.

[size=large][b]Physicians Have Over-Prescribed Antibiotics for Years..[/b][/size][hr]They know it, there have been studies that show it, and as a profession they've moved away from that. But people still want to leave the doctor's office with a prescription, a magic-bullet. Of course, sometimes the issue is which antibiotic is the most appropriate one. They don't all work for everything.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]The classic acute sinusitis symptoms are nasal congestion, green nasal phlegm, facial/dental pain, eye pain, headache, and a cough at night. Some patients also complain of fever, feeling ill, bad breath and a sore throat. Chronic sinusitis is more difficult to diagnose. You can have the same symptoms above in a milder form. Chronic means long-term; it's not usually thought of as chronic unless it's been going on for 2 months or more. Reading all this about Sinusitis Symptoms is sure to help you get a better understanding of Sinusitis Symptoms. So make full use of the information we have provided here.

Brian is the author of "Powerful Body, Peaceful Mind:How to Heal Yourself with Foods, Herbs, and Acupressure." (http://www.pulsemed.org/bookpreview.htm) We did not write too elaborate an article on Allergic Sinusitis as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!

[list][*]This is why, in Chinese Medicine, we always balance an herb with other herbs- if we are drying the phlegm, we also moisten at the same time.[*]Moisture helps the sinuses drain- you remember that Crocodile-Dundee-put-your-head-under-the-steaming-pot-thing?[*]Likewise, there are chinese herbs whose function it is to moisten and transform phlegm.[*]Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Sinus Problems?[*]Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others. [/list]

[size=large][b]Cold and Deficient[/b][/size][hr]If the mucus is clear or white, then it is more likely cold in nature. That fits with a Spleen-system deficiency and dampness. That would fit with the pulse she felt. You would have lowered appetite, feel fatigued, have loose stool, and possibly feel cold easily. Antibiotics wouldn't help here, and could even make things worse.

[list][*]Brian Carter has been making herbs and acupuncture fun and easy to understand since 1999 when he founded the Pulse of Oriental Medicine.[*]For more about sinuses, Sinus Infection Symptoms and Information. [/list]

[size=large][b]Serious Causes of Sinusitis, and Serious Solutions[/b][/size][hr]For those with chronic sinusitis, tests need to be done to rule out the serious things. Sinusitis can be just a simple end-of-your-cold complication, but it can also show up as part of: nasal tumors, fungal infections, and HIV or other immunodeficiency. What about the sinusitis surgery? It works from 50-93% of the time... so it can be a great help if you're sick and tired of it, and nothing else has worked. but it's also a super-painful process! I would see an herbalist first. Responsibility is what makes a person. So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Sinus Problems so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it!

[size=large][b]Mold, Fungus, and Sick Buildings[/b][/size][hr]And we can't forget about mold! While some people appear to be more sensitive than others, fungus can cause fungal sinusitis. This gets into the whole 'sick-building' topic... Mold can grow in the walls of houses and offices, and is not always easy to detect. We find great potential in Sinus Problems. This is the reason we have used this opportunity to let you learn the potential that lies in Sinus Problems.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]When They're Wrong If the sinusitis hasn't responded to antibiotics, then either the wrong ones were prescribed, or you need to try another kind of treatment. Chinese Herbal Medicine can address the full spectrum of complaints and causes; we often treat the conditions which are not responding to conventional treatments like antibiotics. A woman wrote me about how antibiotics weren't solving her diarrhea problem- this can happen when the disease is cold in nature. Antibiotics are cold and bitter; these qualities help it fight the dampness and heat of bacterial infections. But they are more of the same damage when the disease is cold or deficient in nature. Acupuncture and moxibustion (the warming of acupuncture points) can also be effective; some people respond very quickly... results vary depending upon a number of factors (the acupuncturist's education, accuracy of diagnosis, frequency of treatment, and patient compliance with diet and lifestyle suggestions). Failure is the stepping stone to success. So if you do fail to understand this article on Acute Sinusitis, don't fret. Read it again a few times, and you are sure to finally get its meaning.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Overuse Problems[/b][/size][hr]I hate to say it (because antibiotics are so great in some situations, and so popular overall), but antibiotics can complicate things even further - there are conditions that do not respond to them... and there are many situations in which they are not even indicated. Self-praise is no praise. So we don't want to praise ourselves on the effort put in writing on Sinuses. instead, we would like to hear your praise after reading it!

[size=large][b]Decongestant Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]Decongestants are often prescribed. They work by drying you out. Unfortunately, they don't just dry the mucus. Long-term use of decongestants can lead to other problems, like the dry or heat types of sinus inflammation. Developing a basis for this composition on Sinusitis was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.

The Laryngoscope, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, recently published the results of an American study that surveyed 211 patients with different nasal inflammatory conditions, including allergies. The study concluded that the daily use of nasal cleansing with salt water significantly improved many of the parameters of experienced discomfort. It also revealed that nasal irrigation has the potential to improve overall quality of life and is a cost-effective treatment.

[i]Maroney recommends that after using the neti pot, users may like to do the following simple exercise before blowing their nose: lean forward from the hips and waist, head hanging down, and turn your head from side to side.[/i]

Nasaline: The patented silicone tip is designed to fit snugly in most adult nostrils. The tip produces a gentle swirl stream when the saline solution enters the nose washing away harmful, irritating particles. Simply fill the Nasaline syringe with 2-ounces of saline solution and experience drug-free relief from everyday nasal and sinus ailments. A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Nasal Irrigation is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition.

[list][*]Doctors recommend nasal irrigation to treat symptoms associated with colds, the flu, allergies, or other sinus-related infections.[*]So, how are they used?[*]Neti Pot: This is an interesting little pot that looks like a small tea pot.[*]It is used for running a saline solution through nasal passages.[*]It will moisturize, clear nasal passages, and help to prevent infections. :o[/list]

"Users can also enhance the benefits of the nasal wash. For neti pot use, neti pot salts and washes are available," Tom Maroney, CEO of Banner Therapy Products, said. "For Nasaline users, complementing salts are also helpful."

There are several products on the market that profess to clear nasal passages and sinus airways, however, many are prescription drugs or over-the-counter products that are filled with artificial ingredients. Nasaline and neti pots are natural-therapy alternatives. They are gentle and easy-to-use. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Neti Pots to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Neti Pots will enjoy this article.

[list][*]To use the neti pot, simply prepare the saline solution by adding 8-ounces of warm water and a quarter teaspoon of non-iodized salt the pot.[*]Turn your head to the side, and insert the spout into the upper nostril.[*]Raise the neti pot so the saline solution flows into the nose and out of the lower nostril.

The practice of nasal irrigation/rinse has been subjected to clinical testing and has been found to be safe and beneficial, with no apparent side effects. A nasal rinse will: The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on Sinuses as interesting as possible!
