#1
Bug 
[size=4][b]Severe Sinusitis - How to Get Rid of Sinus Headache?[/b][/size][hr]Sinuses are air pockets in our skull and even small children have these cavities in their skulls. Sinus headache is caused when there is an infection in the sinus cavities either due to some microbes like virus or bacteria or even fungus or because of an allergic attack. How to get rid of sinus headache is all about making the symptoms of the sinusitis to subside!

[list][*]Some of the things in vogue to get rid of sinus headache are applying vaporizers or balms on the fore head, taking painkillers etc.[*]How is it that while sometimes sinus leads to headache but not always is also very important to know?[*]It depends upon the sinuses affected and the kind and the extent of infection and the severity with which the body has responded to it. [*]To get rid of sinus headache one should think how to clear the nasal passage and sinus exits, which get blocked by the mucus.[*]Inhaling steam not only soothes the pain in the nasal passages but also provides humidity that is very much essential to clear the excess mucus.[*]It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about Sinus Relief.[*]We have written this article to let others know more about Sinus Relief through our resources.[/list]

[size=large][b]Three Years Ago, One of My Friends Had Got a Very Severe Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]He went to the doctor and the headache was so appalling that the only thing he could ask the doctor was how to get rid of sinus headache. The doctor smiled and said it depends upon the type of your sinusitis and if it is because of sinusitis at all. We also need to ensure before rushing in for medication and tablets that whether the headache is because of sinusitis or not. Now while reading about Sinusitis, don't you feel that you never knew so much existed about Sinusitis? So much matter you never knew existed.

A preliminary diagnosis suggests that the sinusitis is because of an infection then to get rid of sinus headache, one should start taking some anti-biotics. How to know if it is an infection is not very difficult. All that one needs to do is to examine the color of phlegm and if it is yellow and green then most probably one needs an anti-biotic. Anti-biotics also makes the symptoms of the bodily reaction to the infection to subside, which is the main cause of discomfort to the patient.

Chronic sinusitis is inflammation of the air-filled spaces called sinuses behind the nose, forehead, cheeks, and eyes, which continues for a long time or keeps coming back. The researchers have distinguished chronic sinusitis as sinusitis that lasts three months or longer, from acute sinusitis, which lasts only a month or even less. According to them the cause of acute sinusitis is a bacterial infection. Usually chronic sinus infection symptoms may last for 3 months or even more. Often, the chronic inflammation may lead to, small growths in the nasal passages called polyps which obstruct breathing.

[size=large][b]Treatment for Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Antibiotics and over-the-counter decongestants are widely used fro treating chronic sinus infection symptoms. Antibiotics may not be effective in chronic sinusitis because they target bacteria, not fungi. The antibiotic treatment usually takes 3 - 4 weeks. The over-the-counter medications may offer some relief from pain, but they do not have any effect on the inflammation. Clean and drain sinuses works in some cases. Oral pills may provide relief from stuffy nose and some nasal sprays can help in relieving chronic sinus infection symptoms caused by allergies. Patients of chronic sinus infection symptoms can find relief through Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). This is a noninvasive outpatient procedure. The study results suggest that ESS helps to reduce dependence on antibiotics and antihistamines for managing the symptoms. Deviated septum and nasal obstruction may be repaired surgically to prevent chronic sinus infection symptoms.

[i]The common chronic sinus infection symptoms are: CoughFacial painNasal congestionNasal drainage (yellow, green, thick)HeadachePain in the mouth or teethChronic fatigue[/i]

Tests The health care provider will examine you and tap lightly on your face over your sinuses. This method is called percussion. It may reveal tenderness in the area. Sinuses glow if normal when light shines directly onto them. If there is sinusitis, the sinuses will not glow. Other tests that may be done are Sinus x-rays, CT scan of the sinuses and MRI of the sinuses. It is only because that we are rather fluent on the subject of Acute Sinusitis that we have ventured on writing something so influential on Acute Sinusitis like this!

[size=large][b]An Antibiotic is an Amalgamation of Two Words[/b][/size][hr]'anti' and 'bacterial'. Thus, an antibiotic is an agent that destroys bacteria. The Encarta Web Dictionary defines an antibiotic as 'a naturally produced substance that kills or inactivates bacteria, but has no effect against viruses'. Antibiotics prevent bacteria from multiplying inside the body. Antibiotics for sinus infection are very effective as a treatment.

[size=large][b]The Inbuild Immunity of Our Body Defends Against the Bacterial Diseases[/b][/size][hr]As soon as the symptoms of any illness occur, the antibodies destroy the bacteria. A healthy body is more capable of fending illness than a weak body. In the absence of a strong immune system, the body is incapable of fighting infections and needs an extra push that comes in the form of antibiotics. This is a systematic presentation on the uses and history of Sinusitis. Use it to understand more about Sinusitis and it's functioning.

[size=large][b]A Similar Way, Cephalosporins Also Destroy the Cell Wall Production by the Bacteria[/b][/size][hr]These are effective antibiotics for sinus infection, particulary for people who are allergic to penicillin. Macrolides do not directly kill the bacteria but contain their growth by prohibiting them from multiplying. This speeds up the work of the body's immune system. Among the class of macrolides, common antibiotics for sinus infection are erythromycin and clarithromycin. In addition to what we had mentioned in the previous paragraph, much more has to be said about Sinusitis Infection. If space permits, we will state everything about it. Big Grin.

Quote:[list][*]Some of the common antibiotics include penicillin, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and macrolides.[*]The bacteria in the human body feed on the nutrients, that enable them to grow, and then split.[*]The bacteria generate more cell wall with growth.[*]Pencillin prohibits the bacteria from building cell walls, thereby, leading to the bursting of bacteria.[*]Amoxicillin is a common antibiotic for sinus infections.[/list]

The choice of antibiotic depends on a variety of factors including the ability of body to absorb the drug, the body's resistance to the drug, the nature of infection and cost of the drug, to say a few. The antibiotics prescribed vary from person to person in terms of their effectiveness. Smile

[b]Thus, the antibiotics for sinus infection need to be consumed only after a prescription by the doctor, after a detailed analysis of the severity of illness, allergic reactions and side-effects.[/b]

Any form of relief is usually welcomed by anyone who is suffering from a sinusitis health condition. Sinusitis is a condition whereby, sinuses in the body are subjected to inflammation and in the process the lining covering them swells up. When the swelling takes place, air in the air passages is prevented from reaching the sinuses and immediately, the patient starts experiencing some breathing difficulties. This is usually followed up by severe headaches, fever, nasal congestion due to mucus pilling up inside the nostrils, constant coughing and having a nasal discharge that looks like pus coming out of the nose. All these symptoms make the patient feel uncomfortable most of the time and for this reason sinusitis relief is always sought out by the patient.

While many may consider swimming in the ocean as part of leisure, it may also be used to obtain sinusitis relief. When the sea water enters your nose while swimming, the salt in it comes into contact with the bacteria that cause the sinusitis infection. Bacteria being unicellular, they contain a semi permeable membrane as their outer cell cover. This physiological feature makes it possible for the salt found in the sea water drain all the water molecules inside their bodies through a process known as osmosis. This process ultimately kills the bacteria and in treating sinusitis and nose infections is brought to an end. When this finally happens, all other sinusitis symptoms also cease to exist thus the patient becomes relieved at last. If there is the slightest possibility of you not getting to understand the matter that is written here on Sinuses, we have some advice to be given. Use a dictionary! Big Grin.

Consumption of hot liquids such as hot chicken soup throughout the day also helps the patient to obtain sinusitis relief. Hot liquids usually aid in moisturizing the mucous membranes and in the process help increase cilia movement. Just like when using warm damp towels for sinusitis relief, increase of cilia movement here helps to remove the accumulated mucus in the nostrils. This will again enable your breathing to be easier which will mean that the patient is not forced to breathe with difficulties. Two main things are achieved when you do this. One of them is that the patient enjoys having non congested nose and the second thing is that, pain usually experienced in sinus located areas stops as the breathing process is made easier.Definitely after this, the patient feels relieved from sinusitis symptoms. This article serves as a representative for the meaning of Sinuses in the library of knowledge. Let it represent knowledge well.

[size=large][b]Placing Small Damp Towels on Your Face is One Way to Achieve Sinusitis Relief[/b][/size][hr]The small towel is supposed to be dipped inside hot water and then removed. Once the damp towel is warm enough not to cause blisters on the skin, you are supposed to place it on your face with major emphasis being put on the area below your eyes or between them. This method helps to enhance the circulation inside the sinuses which helps increase cilia movement inside the nostrils. By increasing the movements, the cilia are able to wash out the mucus pilled up in the nostrils. After this happens, air is left to flow without any hindrance inside the air passages. This makes the breathing process much easier for you and in the process, you get to have sinusitis relief. However, for you to realize considerable relief, this procedure need to be undertaken on numerous occasions throughout the day.
