Sinusitis
sinusitis is a transient inflammation of the lining of the nasal sinuses
(hollow space or cavities) mostly due to the infection of the upper respiratory
tract is termed sinusitis.
This is in most cases, due to infection
of the upper respiratory tract. If the infection is severe and the patient’s
resistance is inadequate, one or more sinuses may become acutely inflamed.
Oedema of the lining membrane narrows the cavity, and the ciliary activity may
fail to clear the sinus of inflammatory exudates. If the cavities become
completely blocked, pus collects under pressure in the sinus.
The disease may also result in bathing
in fresh water, when infected material is driven into a sinus and is often
causes acute and dangerous frontal sinusitis.
Symptoms:
Mild
feelings of heaviness in the face and head, made worse by bending toward sand
copious discharge from the nose.
If
the ostium (mouth of the cavity) is blocked, the pain becomes continuous and
intense,
Signs and Symptoms of Sinusitis
Some
of the signs that someone may have bacterial sinusitis are:
• A stuffy or runny nose with a daytime
cough that lasts for 10 to 14 days or longer without improvement
• Mucus discharge from the nose (this can
occur with both viral and bacterial sinusitis but continuous thick discharge is
more likely to be from bacterial sinusitis)
• Persistent dull pain or swelling around
the eyes
• Tenderness or pain in or around the
cheekbones
• A feeling of pressure in your head
• A headache when you wake up in the
morning or when bending over
• Bad breath, even after brushing your
teeth
• Pain in the upper teeth
• A fever greater than 102° Fahrenheit (39°
Celsius)
Some
people also have dry coughs and find it hard to sleep. Others have upset
stomachs or feel nauseous.
Prevention is
better than cure
·
Colds and flu are spread primarily when an infected person coughs
or sneezes near someone else.
·
A very common method for transmitting a cold is by shaking hands.
·
Everyone should always wash their hands before eating and after
going outside. Ordinary soap is sufficient.
·
Waterless hand cleaners that contain an alcohol-based gel are also
effective for every day use and may even kill cold viruses. (They are less
effective, however, if extreme hygiene is required. In such cases,
alcohol-based rinses are needed.)
·
Antibacterial soaps add little protection, particularly against
viruses.
·
Wiping surfaces with a solution that contains one part bleach to 10
parts water is very effective in killing viruses.
Treatment for Sinusitis
If you have acute sinusitis, you should use over-the-counter(
please note self medication is highly injuries to health) or prescription
decongestant nose drops and sprays only for few days. If you use these
medicines for longer periods, they can lead to even more congestion and
swelling of your nasal passages. If you have an allergic disease along with
sinusitis, you may also need medicine to control allergies.
Symptomatic Homeopathy medicines help to increase the immune
power to act against recurrent infections and allergy. Symptomatic Homeo medicines
act well in sinusitis without any side effect.
