[size=4][b]Sinus Infections - What is Sinus Pain?[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Did you ever have this? You go to your doctor and you tell him that you have facial pain and you do not feel fine! In addition, you have nasal discharge and stuffiness, congestion and cough also headache and fever, you loss your smell, bad breath and fatigue.

[i]Recurrent Sinusitis: it may happens several times a year and still for 7-8 weeks or longer, and it is sinus inflammation symptoms Acute Sinusitis: it last no more than ten days with runny and stuffy nose also head ache pressure and facial pain and this will get better with antibiotic[/i]

[size=large][b]Maxillary Sinuses- Located Behind the Cheekbones[/b][/size][hr]To ensure that you body will works fine for a long time, then you have to start live healthy as soon as possible. Perhaps you may not have been interested in this passage on Sinus Inflammation. In that case, please don't spread this feedback around!

[list][*]Hers a list of types of sinuses Sphenoid sinuses- located behind the eyes.[*]Frontal sinuses- located in the forehead.[*]Ethmoid sinuses- located between the eyes.[*]And the doctor tells you that you have "sinus infection", gives you a medicine, and of course you will take all of it![*]However, you will come back to him in less than 7 days; if you want to stop your sinus pain then complete reading.[/list]

[size=large][b]Are There Any Types of It?[/b][/size][hr]Yes! There are many types I will list some of below Chronic Sinusitis: it is unexpected or surprising clod, it has symptoms like headache, facial pain also stuffy nose and runny, this type of sinusitis still usually for 7-14 days. Perfection has been achieved in this article on Control Sinus Infection. There is hardly any matter left from this article that is worth mentioning.Perfection has been achieved in this article on Control Sinus Infection. There is hardly any matter left from this article that is worth mentioning.

[size=large][b]What It is?[/b][/size][hr]The Sinus Infections or sinusitis is inflammation of swelling on your sinuses, This caused by many reasons such as Bacteria, viruses, and fungi which grow and cause an infection and fill the sinus fluid, and this usually caused by colds.

[list][*]Due to the advancements on our technology a lot of sinus infection treatment has already been discovered.[*]And since the symptoms of sinusitis are same as those of colds or allergies, diagnosis can be misleading.[/list]

[size=large][b]Irrigation is One Way of Treating Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Sinus irrigation is to wash your sinuses daily with salt water. However, if done incorrectly, problems may arise. Using too much salt can dry out the sinuses while using a little salt can increase the swelling.

Common symptoms of sinusitis are headache, fever, weakness, tiredness, cough and nasal congestion. Doctors would also likely look for swelling, tenderness and redness of the skin over the cheekbones. Transillumination by shining a bright light in a darkened room against the cheek or forehead, looking for blockages is also one way of detecting sinusitis. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Sinus Cavities. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest!

[size=large][b]But as Most Physicians Would Agree, Prevention is Still Better Than Cure[/b][/size][hr]So while still on early stages of sinus infection, treat it immediately. Prevention can be as simple as avoiding cigarette smoke and other air pollutants if you have allergies. Daily hand washing will surely help prevent colds as well as taking in Vitamin C. Avoid air travel as well if you have a cold or an allergy attack because changes in air pressure can cause a vacuum to form in the sinuses leading to a lot of pain. A rolling stone gathers no moss. So if I just go on writing, and you don't understand, then it is of no use of me writing about Endoscopic Sinus Surgery! Whatever written should be understandable by the reader.

Keeping your sinuses well hydrated would keep the mucus membranes from drying out which prevents your sinuses against bacterial infection. Prescription drugs are also ways of sinus infection treatment like antibiotics to control present bacterial infection, decongestants to reduce congestion, mucolytics, antihistamines and other pain medications to reduce any pain that you may have are some. However, too much relying on drugs could also make you dependent on them. Wink

[size=large][b]Sinusitis can be Very Manageable for Most People[/b][/size][hr]A lot of techniques can be used in treating sinus infection. The following are just some ways of treating a sinus infection. We were actually wondering how to get about to writing about Sinus Infection. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!

Surgery like endoscopic sinus surgery which is less invasive than the conventional sinus surgery, would enlarge the openings of the sinuses to allow drainage. But surgery should be considered only after most of the treatments failed.

For chronic sinusitis sufferers, the discomfort of sinusitis doesn't just come seasonally; it's a constant distress they have to battle all year round. But with today's latest technological breakthroughs, finding cures for ailments and diseases like sinusitis has never been easier. A variety of home-based and medical sinus treatments have been discovered, tested, prescribed and are available in the market. So how do you treat sinusitis? Here are some ways.

[size=large][b]Oral Decongestants[/b][/size][hr]Oral decongestants minimize swelling of the mucus membrane in the nose and sinuses by constricting your blood vessels and reducing the blood flow to nasal mucus membranes. Such treatment primarily helps in the symptoms of stuffy nose. However, the use of decongestants may be accompanied by side effects. See a doctor before taking these.

[size=large][b]Nasal Saline Washes[/b][/size][hr]Washing the nose is highly effective in reducing colonization of the nose by bacteria and fungi. It also cleans dried mucus from the nose. You can do nose washing by using an irrigator or a bulb syringe filled with saline solution. The device is then placed within the nostril without occluding the nose and is directed towards the inner margin of the eye. The head is leaned over a sink so the irrigator could passively drain from the nose or mouth. If done properly, there should be no pain in doing the whole procedure.

[size=large][b]Mucus-Thinning Drugs[/b][/size][hr]As the name suggests, physicians may prescribe this kind of drug for treatment of acute sinusitis. Mucus-thinning drugs, also known as mucolytic agents, work by loosening and clearing up the airways by dissolving thick mucus. These are available in tablet or inhaled form. The inhaled form is taken through a nebulizer. We have actually followed a certain pattern while writing on Chronic Sinusitis Treatment. We have used simple words and sentences to facilitate easy understanding for the reader. Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Nasal Steroids[/b][/size][hr]Nasal steroids are helpful in reducing sinus swelling, mucus production and nasal congestion. An ideal nasal steroid should be easily administered and must be directed into the nose. It should not be harmful to the nasal mucus membrane and it should be compatible with normal nasal functions. As with all the other treatments, patients should always consult their doctors first. Penetration into the world of Sinusitis Mucus proved to be our idea in this article. Read the article and see if we have succeeded in this or not!

Antibiotics If your sinusitis is caused by bacteria or other related infectious organisms like fungi and parasites, doctor-prescribed antibiotics are helpful. It is recommended for you to see a doctor and have your sinusitis checked so that the most appropriate antibiotic may be given. Physicians consider several factors before choosing an antibiotic. These factors include the type of bacteria causing the infection, potential resistance of the bacteria, results of sinus culture (if available) and patient allergies. We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on Sinuses. There is still a lot more to be learnt!

Nasal irrigation or nasal lavage is technique of hydrotherapy whereby one is able to completely and thoroughly wash out the nasal passages and sinuses. It is totally safe and it is very effective. So effective in fact, if you were to do absolutely nothing else for your sinuses, this one technique could still radically alter your health for the better.

You may also choose to produce some saline solution for moistening the nasal passages throughout the day and to rinse away pollen and other irritants. You can purchase small spray bottles for the nose at most drug stores. Simply fill the bottle with the above suggested saline preparation. Be sure to change the mixture out daily as well as to wash your spray bottle so as to prevent bacterial buildup. The development of Sinusitis has been explained in detail in this article on Sinusitis. Read it to find something interesting and surprising!

Regarding appropriate irrigation technique, the head should be tilted forward over a sink such that when you irrigate one nostril the fluid pours from the other nostril. You should keep your mouth open and try not to swallow while irrigating. For specific irrigation instructions, see the package insert of whichever of the above products you choose for your irrigation purposes. We are proud to say we have dominance in the say of Chronic Sinusitis. This is because we have read vastly and extensively on Chronic Sinusitis.

[list][*]Another effective manual method of nasal irrigation is that of irrigation with a bulb syringe (available at any pharmacy).[*]One may take the bulb syringe, draw up into the syringe appropriately salinated water and irrigate.[*]With pulsatile irrigation, one uses a machine designed just for this purpose such as the Grossan Hydro Pulse (shown below).[*]There are other forms of manual irrigation that work quite well also.[*]One is the traditional Neti pot, which has been used by Indian yogis for centuries to keep the nasal passages and sinuses clean.[*]In this method, one takes an implement similar in appearance to a small tea pot (see photo below) and pours salinated water through each nostril.[*]The method is very gentle and recommended in the absence of pulsatile irrigation.[*]Producing such an interesting anecdote on Nasal Irrigation took a lot of time and hard work.[*]So it would be enhancing to us to learn that you have made good use of this hard work! [/list]

The preceding, you were introduced to the methods and implements of nasal irrigation, now we need to discuss just what constitutes an appropriate salinated mixture. Before discussing the preparation that you can make yourself, I highly recommend purchasing premixed saline for solution, which is typically PH balanced for the human body and leaves no room for error as there is no guesswork in measurement. In particular, I recommend a product called Breathe-Ease XL above all else.

[size=large][b]The Most Beneficial Form of Nasal Irrigation is that of Pulsatile Nasal Irrigation[/b][/size][hr]Pulsatile irrigation is a mechanical method of irrigation in which a gentle stream of salinated water is directed through the nasal passages in pulses. This pulsation effectively simulates (and stimulates) ciliary motion, which is often impaired in those with chronic sinusitis.

[b]The absence of the above irrigation implements, one can still irrigate the nose by preparing an appropriate mixture of salinated water into a cupped hand and snorting it into each nostril.[/b]

[list][*]Preferable to utilizing a generic bulb syringe however, is the Nasaline nasal irrigator.[*]The Nasaline irrigator consists of a two ounce syringe with a specialized silicone tip designed specifically for nasal irrigation.[/list]

Nasal irrigation steps in for the damaged cilia and does their job for them by removing the debris. In fact, one form of nasal irrigation actually simulates ciliary movement with its pulsatile action and subsequently this stimulates ciliary function such that it may be encouraged toward improvement. There are several forms of nasal irrigation, not all equally effective, though all beneficial. Choose a method most convenient for you-one that you will stick with and utilize at least once daily (twice is better!) for the long haul.

You see, if you have chronic sinusitis, chances are good that you have damaged cilia from all of the previous infection. (Cilia are the small hairlike structures that move debris and mucous out of the sinuses and nasal passages.) If you have damaged cilia or impaired ciliary function, your sinuses are not able to clean themselves effectively. Thus, mucous and debris (pollen, dust, dander, etc.) buildup in your sinuses and nasal passages and increase the inflammation and block the sinus openings.
