Sinus Infection: Sinus Infection Symptoms: What Should You
#1
Exclamation 
[size=4][b]Sinus Infection - Sinus Infection Symptoms - What Should You Look for?[/b][/size][hr]It a sinus infection or a common cold? Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the difference. Infection or inflammation of the sinuses also known as sinusitis affects millions of people every year and in many instances causes serious discomfort or pain. The symptoms of sinus infections actually depend upon which of the four sinuses are affected and whether or not the sinus infection is acute or chronic. Acute sinusitis normally lasts eight weeks or less or occurs no more than three times per year with an average episode lasting less than ten days. Chronic sinusitis on the other hand normally lasts longer than eight weeks or occurs more than four times per year with symptoms usually lasting longer than twenty days.

Quote:[i]Symptoms of chronic sinus infection include chronic soar throat, chronic nasal discharge, bad breath, prolonged facial pain, discomfort below the eyes or across the bridge of the nose, toothaches and low-grade headaches. [/i]

[size=large][b]Is Often Difficult to Determine Whether or Not You Have a Common Cold or a Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]For example, a stuffy nose could be a symptom of a sinus infection or a common cold. Your doctor can diagnose sinusitis using an assortment of methods including listening to your symptoms, doing a physical examination, taking X-rays, and if necessary, an MRI or CT scan (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography). As the information we produce in our writing on Acute Sinus Infection may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

There are many symptoms of acute sinus infection including nasal discharge, post nasal drip whereby mucus drips down the throat behind the nose, facial pain or pressure in the area of the affected sinus cavities, fever and headaches. Time and tide waits for no man. So once we got an idea for writing on Acute Sinusitis, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately!

[i]As part of our efforts to chronicle the experiences of sinusitis sufferers, a gentleman named Carlton contributed a 'Sinusitis Treatment Success' story. :o[/i]

[size=large][b]I'll Let You Know How It Goes, but So Far, I Feel Much Better[/b][/size][hr]Carlton' Huge Implications in the Study Results There are huge implications in this study for those who suffer from recurring sinus infection. This work could lead to treatments that treat the root cause of the problem for the first time. We have included the history of Sinus Infection here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Sinus Infection.

[size=large][b]Asked Carlton in a Follow-Up Email If He Had Tested Positive for Fungi in Previous[/b][/size][hr]Allergy tests, and here is his response: 'Hello Walt: Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Sinus Treatment. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.

Another article in the Health Solutions Newsletter of Sept 2005 also referred to the Mayo Clinic/U. of Buffalo study and adds further clarification. Their article was entitled 'Mayo Clinic Announces Startling New Sinus Discovery' The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Chronic Sinusitis in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

He pointed out a study conducted by the Mayo clinic and the University of Buffalo addressing the issue of recurring sinus infection. It states that "chronic sinusitis is an immune disorder caused by fungus." Having a penchant for Sinus Infection led us to write all that there has been written on Sinus Infection here. Hope you too develop a penchant for Sinus Infection!

Anyone who suffers from recurring sinus infection issues and who cannot find adequate relief after treatment by an otolaryngologist or after unsuccessful surgery are urged to do what Carlton has done: There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Sinus Treatment. Don't try counting it!

'Jens Panikau, sinus researcher at Mayo Clinic, has published a new finding that explains why sinus disease persists despite so many new drugs. Dr Panikau found that the main cause of sinus symptoms was that the eosinophiles ' your special cells that defend your body against infection, - get into the mucus and produce a toxic product called MBP that is made in order to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, among sinus sufferers, there is an excess of this MBP in the mucus that also damages the cells of the nose and impairs its ability to sweep bacteria out of the nose. Dr Panikau shows that it is the MBP that makes the patient sick, with fever, pain, fatigue, and secondary infections.' We would like you to leisurely go through this article on Chronic Sinusitis to get the real impact of the article. Chronic Sinusitis is a topic that has to be read clearly to be understood. :o.

Hopefully the follow-on work of the Mayo Clinic and University of Buffalo will identify antifungal treatments that can finally go after the root cause of recurring sinus infection. Sinus sufferers should be aware of these research efforts and be ready to discuss these findings with their ENT specialists. Maybe serious help is finally on the way.

[list][*]This is leading edge stuff.[*]Mayo received a patent on anti-fungal treatments.[*]I decided to try this approach after everything else failed.[*]I don't want surgery, because I've never heard of one that worked.[/list]

[size=large][b]Had 2 Different Allergy Tests, Both Negative[/b][/size][hr]The Mayo/U. of Buffalo research says this is not an allergic reaction like a pollen allergy, so it wouldn't show up in an allergy test. It's an over reaction to fungus by T-cells that damage the sinus lining and gives bacteria a place to grow. Most people have no reaction, but most people with chronic sinusitis do. Apparently there is a test, but ENT's are skeptical. Mine said the fungus idea was false and suggested surgery. If I was cynical, I might think his opinion was because there's no surgical solution.

[list][*]If the tests are positive for fungus, try to improve your environment to lower the amount of fungus you are exposed to.[*]There are numerous books and articles which address this subject.[/list]
