All Information About Sinusitis Treatment

By Filipa Castro


Sinusitis is not a rare condition. In fact, a lot of people in the universe has this. This condition is often referred to as nasal congestion since the condition will only emerge whenever an inflammation in the nasal sinuses occurs. This happens when a person has allergies and infections to some bacteria and viruses. The treatment for normal sinuses will last for only about five to ten days but if the symptoms will continue to manifest longer, then most likely, there are some complications that need to be addressed by a medical doctor. There are several sinusitis treatment available for this, both medical and natural, but it is still up to the advice of the physician as to what treatment to take.

The two main type of nasal congestion are acute and chronic. If the condition persists for a month or less, this is said to be acute, but if it lasts longer than that, it means this condition has become chronic. It is kind of hard to differentiate the two when you base from the symptoms since both will have similar symptoms. Mostly, the length of time and some other medical tests become the basis for diagnosis.

The first mentioned type typically emerges when someone experiences an infection in the upper respiratory tract. This could be viral or fungal infection. The latter cause may be life threatening and thus needs to be treated correctly and immediately. This can be seen in patients who have diabetes or those who suffer from chemical irritations such as fumes and smokes from cigarettes.

The other type which is chronic can last more that three months and the basic symptoms include dizziness, facial pain, coughing, aching teeth, and headache. This type normally precipitates from various diseases with sinusitis as a symptom.

Currently, there is a growing debate on the role of a fungus in chronic nasal congestion. Fungi are found in the nasal cavities of both healthy people and people with sinuses. This is the why, up to present, it is still unclear if fungus is really one factor that helps in the development of chronic sinusitis.

As mentioned, it is not so easy to determine what type of congestion the patient has. The very reason for this is that the symptoms are very similar to both types. Facial pain, headache, tooth ache, and dizziness, can manifest in both conditions. Thus, medical tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Other infections include infection in the eye socket that can lead to blindness. This will be accompanied by severe fever and other diseases and illnesses. It is also possible to have infections in the bone of the forehead and the bones in the face. It may also cause inner ear infections because there is nasal congestion. This is manifested through dizziness.

Sinusitis treatment can be made using antibiotics and antiviral since the main causes of this disease are virus and bacteria. If the symptoms will continue to persist after ten days after taking antibiotics, you now have to use both aerobic and anaerobic antibiotics. The natural way is to quit eating or drinking dairy products. After this, you can take in one table spoon of apple cider vinegar in one glass of water. After one week, you will observe that your sinus drainage will drop down.
