[size=4][b]Medical Symptoms Sinus Infection - Nurse's Easy Guide to Sinusitis, Sinus Symptoms and Causes to Help You Stop Suffering Now![/b][/size][hr]Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses that occurs with either a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull, located behind the forehead, nasal bones, cheeks, and eyes, that are lined with mucus membranes. Healthy sinuses are sterile and contain no bacteria, viruses, fungus or other organisms and are open, allowing the mucus to drain and the air to circulate in them.

Quote:The classic symptoms of acute sinusitis usually follow a cold that does not improve, or one that worsens after 5 - 7 days of symptoms or any of the causes listed above. Symptoms include: bad breath (halitosis) or loss of smell, cough - often worse at night (this can be from sinus drainage or constant irritation in the throat from the drainage), fatigue and generally not feeling well, fever (full blown sinus infections are systemic -affect your whole body accounting for the fatigue and fever)), headache -- pressure-like pain, pain behind the eyes or on the head, toothache, facial tenderness, nasal congestion and discharge, sore throat and postnasal drip. Symptoms of chronic sinusitis are the same as the symptoms of acute sinusitis, but tend to be somewhat milder but last longer than eight weeks. :o.

The following may increase your risk for developing sinusitis: air pollution, smoke, allergies, asthma, changes in the altitude, for example from flying or scuba diving, from dental work such as root canals or extractions, etc., a deviated nasal septum, a nasal bone spur, or nasal polyp, a foreign body in your nose, swimming or diving often, gastroesophageal reflux disease (called GERD or more commonly called acid reflux), having been hospitalized, especially if you're in the hospital because of a head injury or have had a nasogastric tube (intubation) placed into your nose (nasogastric tube), overuse of nasal decongestant sinus medicines and pregnancy.

[list][*]Cystic fibrosis is one of any number of diseases that will prevent the cilia from working properly.[*]Other lesser known diseases that put you at an increased risk for sinusitis include Kartagener syndrome and immotile cilia syndrome. :o[*]When the sinuses become inflamed, the sinuses become blocked with mucus and can get infected.[*]About a quart of fluid has to move through the sinuses every day.[*]Every year, more than 30 million adults and children get sinusitis.[*]Sinusitis can be either acute (lasting from 2 - 8 weeks) or become chronic, with symptoms lasting much longer.

Sinusitis can occur from any one or more of these conditions: the small hairs (called cilia) in the sinuses, which help move the mucus out, are not working properly; the very small openings (called ostia) from the sinuses to the nose become blocked; or too much mucus is produced. When the sinus openings do become blocked and mucus accumulates, this becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, fungus and other organisms. It is of no use thinking that you know everything, when in reality, you don't know anything! It is only because we knew so much about Nasal Irrigation that we got down to writing about it!

Your doctor will be able to give you an examination where he or she can listen to your symptoms and perform a physical examination on you. In some cases it may be necessary to have you undergo an MRI or a CAT Scan or possibly take some X-rays to determine what is happening inside your sinus cavities.

Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Sinus Infection Symptoms. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.

Sinus infections are drugs to relieve sinusitis. Sinusitis is an inflammation or infection of the sinus cavities.
