[size=4][b]Sinus Cavity - Sinusitis: Sinus Infection Deals a Corporate KO[/b][/size][hr]Sinusitis and Sinus Infection Starts with a Little Sniffle Yes, I hear it too. A simple sniffle in a distant cubical. No big deal. But wait. There went another. Before long the office uproars in a virtual canon of sniffing, and it is more alarming then musical. Little do they know that a little sniffle might indicate the onset of one of the most expensive corporate costs common to most businesses - sinus infection and sinusitis 'unless the business is prepared to nip it in the bud early that is. Wink

[size=large][b]Sinusitis and Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]Sinusitis is an advanced sinus infection, usually beginning with the post-nasal drip from sniffing during cold season, when weather changes, or during allergy attacks. The head has four nasal cavities which, if blocked by inflammation or mucous, will breed bacterial growth and eventual sinus infection and sinusitis. It was with great optimism that we started out on writing this composition on Sinus Problems. Please don't let us lose this optimism.

[size=large][b]Corporate Cost of Sinus Infection and Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]$5.8 billion a year is not what the American businesses want as an annual expense. But most businesses might as well add sinusitis or sinus infection to its balance sheet, they have been paying for it in recent years and it will keep coming back - kind of reminds you of Rocky Balboa. Wink

Not convinced yet? This may not seem like that much of a business expense until you add the expense of sinusitis and sinus infection performing a virtual KO of your office. Sinusitis and sinus infection knocks out professionals for an average of 4 days per year. Not to mention the affect sinusitis and sinus infection have on the productivity of those who come to work affected by sinusitis and sinus infection. The affect is similar to those suffering from sinus allergies in that about one-third of affected employees feel that these sinus problems make them less effective at work. That is a costly corporate hit. Patience was exercised in this article on Sinus Problems. Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinus Problems. :o.

Tips to Preventing a Corporate KO. You may not be surprised that these preventions are simpler and cheaper than just letting sinus infection and sinusitis take their course in your office.

Quote:Why should businesses be so concerned about sinusitis and sinus infection? Here are a few numbers they might want to analyze. Reports indicate that between 31 and 32 million Americans are affected by sinusitis or sinus infection each year, resulting in about 18 million healthcare visits. These visits, of course, are part of company health plans. We have actually followed a certain pattern while writing on Sinusitis. We have used simple words and sentences to facilitate easy understanding for the reader.

Major symptoms of sinus infection and Sinusitis Corporations should keep their guard up, other wise one sniff could turn out to be a fatal financial blow. Here are symptoms to be mindful of: Penetration into the world of Sinus proved to be our idea in this article. Read the article and see if we have succeeded in this or not!

Signs of congestion (sniffing, nose-blowing)Soreness anywhere in the head, including the face and neckSneezing, ear ache, throat pain, coughingHeadachesGeneral fatigue, weakness, soreness We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on Sinus Allergies. There is still a lot more to be learnt!

Depending upon the severity of the blow, a sinus infection or sinusitis could affect your employees for periods ranging between 3 weeks and several months. Many attacks occur several times a year. Because a sinus infection may develop and lead to sinusitis at any time, businesses must not overlook the corporate cost. Be prepared. Perhaps you may not have been interested in this passage on Sinus Allergies. In that case, please don't spread this feedback around!

While in Europe recently, I found that I didn't need to use nasal irrigation to prevent nasal congestion. I did bring along a travel WaterPik device which I often use for this purpose when away from home, but I didn't feel the need to use it even once for the entire month we were gone. I attribute this to the higher humidity levels in Europe compared to those in Colorado where we live.

Upon returning from this latest trip I decided to purchase an inexpensive humidity gauge and put it in our bedroom to deep a closer eye on the actual levels in our sleeping environment. Right now the levels are in the 50% range, which is pretty good. We live at over 7,000 feet of elevation, and we have several windows open at night at this time of year to cool off the room. During most of the year we do use a humidifier, especially in the winter months. When the furnace is on the humidity drops quite a bit, and I will now be able to monitor the levels and make better use of a humidifier with the humidity gauge. Air conditioning will also dry out the air in a room or in an automobile, so keeping close watch of this is important for people like me who continually battle nasal congestion problems. If you find anything extra mentioning about Sinus Treatment, do inform us. It is only through the exchange of views and information will we learn more about Sinus Treatment.

[size=large][b]Normally Use Nasal Irrigation With a Saline Solution Once or Twice Per Day[/b][/size][hr]It would be unthinkable to go for a month in Colorado without doing this. I would almost certainly come down with a sinus infection during this length of time, even while continuing to take my normal medication. We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on Sinus Infection. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.

[size=large][b]The Device I Purchased Was an Inexpensive Combination Thermometer and Humidity Gauge[/b][/size][hr]It was only about $4, but one can find digital devices with more functionality in the $20-40 range in stores like Kmart or Walmart. I would strongly recommend that people who suffer from chronic sinusitis make this small investment and keep a device to measure relative humidity in their sleep and also possibly their work environments. This simple item can be a significant tool in the regimen of all sinus sufferers to help prevent nasal congestion, especially while sleeping.

[size=large][b]According to Dr[/b][/size][hr]Robert Ivker, D.O., former President of the American Holistic Medical Association, the ideal level of relative humidity for sinus health is between 35-45%. I noticed in one of the hotels we stayed at in France that the humidity was in the low 70% range, and I'm sure it was at least that high at other times as well during the month. For whatever reason, this level of humidity seems to work better for my particular nasal congestion problems, and I have noticed before the general tendency of having fewer sinus problems while in Europe. We travel there fairly often as we operate tours in France. Dr. Ivker prefers to use a warm mist room humidifier which requires no filters and kills bacteria. He claims to have had good luck with Bionaire Clear Mist units. Get more familiar with Sinus Infection once you finish reading this article. Only then will you realize the importance of Sinus Infection in your day to day life.

[size=large][b]Inflammation of the Sinuses is Known as Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]This is usually caused by an infection viral, bacterial, or fungal. The sinuses are air-filled cavities around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes that are lined with mucous membranes. Healthy sinuses are germ-free and open, allowing mucus to drain and air to circulate in the nasal passages. When inflamed, the sinuses become blocked with mucus and can become infected.

[list][*]Sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head.[*]A person with a sinus infection can have cough, fever, bad breath, and nasal congestion with thick nasal discharges.[*]Sinusitis is classified as acute or chronic.[*]Acute sinus lasts for less than 8 weeks and chronic one can last for more than 8 weeks.[*]You must have searched high and low for some matter for Acute Sinusitis, isn't it?[*]That is the main reason we compiled this article for you to get that required matter![/list]

[size=large][b]Viral Infection in the Upper Respiratory Tract Leads to an Acute Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]An acute sinus infection can also be caused by allergens and pollutants in the air. When a person has a viral sinus infection then cells of the sinus lining are damaged. This in turn leads to inflammation and swelling and prevents the proper discharge of nasal mucus. This in turn becomes a play ground for organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungus to live and grow quickly. It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about Nasal Polyps. We have written this article to let others know more about Nasal Polyps through our resources.

Other causes of sinus includes allergies like dry air, tobacco smoke, hay fever, change in weather temperature or atmospheric pressure like when swimming or climbing high altitudes. Sinus can also be due to dental infection, physical injury to sinus, Disease or an abnormal structure in the sinus area such as nasal polyps, deviated septum, or nasal bone spur. Many bacteria also cause acute sinusitis like Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. Now while reading about Sinus, don't you feel that you never knew so much existed about Sinus? So much matter you never knew existed.

[size=large][b]Recurrent Cases Sinusitis is Not Treated Properly It can Cause Chronic Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Acute sinus causing bacteria along with Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobes causes chronic sinus. Fungi have become a rising cause of chronic sinusitis, especially in people with diseases like AIDS, leukemia, and diabetes, where the immune system is very weak. Writing about Sinusitis is an interesting writing assignment. There is no end to it, as there is so much to write about it!
