[size=4][b]Frontal Sinusitis Problems - Sinus Infection Symptoms, Antibiotics, and Alternative Medicine[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Modern Living, Complex Health Problems In our post-modern industrial polluted stress-filled bad-diet culture, no one's health is simple. We are plagued by complex long-term illnesses like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, AIDS, even sinus problems... it may seem weird to you that I include sinus infections, but the root causes of sinus trouble can be quite complicated... Especially if they are long-term.

[size=large][b]Physicians Have Over-Prescribed Antibiotics for Years..[/b][/size][hr]They know it, there have been studies that show it, and as a profession they've moved away from that. But people still want to leave the doctor's office with a prescription, a magic-bullet. Of course, sometimes the issue is which antibiotic is the most appropriate one. They don't all work for everything. It is always better to use simple English when writing descriptive articles, like this one on Sinus Infections. It is the layman who may read such articles, and if he can't understand it, what is the point of writing it?

[size=large][b]Decongestant Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]Decongestants are often prescribed. They work by drying you out. Unfortunately, they don't just dry the mucus. Long-term use of decongestants can lead to other problems, like the dry or heat types of sinus inflammation. We have used clear and concise words in this article on Sinus Problems to avoid any misunderstandings and confusions that can be caused due to difficult words.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Overuse Problems[/b][/size][hr]I hate to say it (because antibiotics are so great in some situations, and so popular overall), but antibiotics can complicate things even further - there are conditions that do not respond to them... and there are many situations in which they are not even indicated. Keeping to the point is very important when writing. So we have to stuck to Nasal Congestion, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.

[size=large][b]Cold and Deficient[/b][/size][hr]If the mucus is clear or white, then it is more likely cold in nature. That fits with a Spleen-system deficiency and dampness. That would fit with the pulse she felt. You would have lowered appetite, feel fatigued, have loose stool, and possibly feel cold easily. Antibiotics wouldn't help here, and could even make things worse. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Sinusitis Symptoms. This is to liven the mood when reading about Sinusitis Symptoms.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]When They're Wrong If the sinusitis hasn't responded to antibiotics, then either the wrong ones were prescribed, or you need to try another kind of treatment. Chinese Herbal Medicine can address the full spectrum of complaints and causes; we often treat the conditions which are not responding to conventional treatments like antibiotics. A woman wrote me about how antibiotics weren't solving her diarrhea problem- this can happen when the disease is cold in nature. Antibiotics are cold and bitter; these qualities help it fight the dampness and heat of bacterial infections. But they are more of the same damage when the disease is cold or deficient in nature. Acupuncture and moxibustion (the warming of acupuncture points) can also be effective; some people respond very quickly... results vary depending upon a number of factors (the acupuncturist's education, accuracy of diagnosis, frequency of treatment, and patient compliance with diet and lifestyle suggestions). Quality is better than quantity. It is of no use writing numerous pages of nonsense for the reader. Instead, it is better to write a short, and informative article on specific subjects like Sinus Inflammation. People tend to enjoy it more.

[size=large][b]Mold, Fungus, and Sick Buildings[/b][/size][hr]And we can't forget about mold! While some people appear to be more sensitive than others, fungus can cause fungal sinusitis. This gets into the whole 'sick-building' topic... Mold can grow in the walls of houses and offices, and is not always easy to detect. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Sinus.

Brian is the author of "Powerful Body, Peaceful Mind:How to Heal Yourself with Foods, Herbs, and Acupressure." (http://www.pulsemed.org/bookpreview.htm) Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Nasal Congestion. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection Causes[/b][/size][hr]Sinus problems can be caused by many things- you have to think about environmental and food allergies (allergic sinusitis), chronic sinus infection, and chronic colds. Without more information, it's hard to be specific. Sinusitis often develops after colds, and can become a chronic problem. The sinuses are very small... one of our weak points, especially for people with weakened immune systems or in the presence of irritants (once again, pollution, allergens, etc.)... she probably asked about the farms and pesticides while she was thinking about the cause of your chronic sinusitis. Smile

[size=large][b]Serious Causes of Sinusitis, and Serious Solutions[/b][/size][hr]For those with chronic sinusitis, tests need to be done to rule out the serious things. Sinusitis can be just a simple end-of-your-cold complication, but it can also show up as part of: nasal tumors, fungal infections, and HIV or other immunodeficiency. What about the sinusitis surgery? It works from 50-93% of the time... so it can be a great help if you're sick and tired of it, and nothing else has worked. but it's also a super-painful process! I would see an herbalist first. This article on Sinus Infections was written with the intention of making it very memorable to its reader. Only then is an article considered to have reached it's objective.

[list][*]This is why, in Chinese Medicine, we always balance an herb with other herbs- if we are drying the phlegm, we also moisten at the same time.[*]Moisture helps the sinuses drain- you remember that Crocodile-Dundee-put-your-head-under-the-steaming-pot-thing?[*]Likewise, there are chinese herbs whose function it is to moisten and transform phlegm.[*]Time and tide waits for no man.[*]So once we got an idea for writing on Sinus Inflammation, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately![/list]

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.

[list][*]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.[/list]

Before your treatment for sinusitis, you should have a basic understanding of what sinusitis is. It is the swelling of your nasal sinuses that can be cause by a bacterial, fungal or viral infection or even other factors such as allergic reactions or due to environmental elements. Ethmoid sinus headaches, mainly above your eyes and behind your cheekbones, have mucus secretions that, if blocked from draining can grow thicker and become inflamed.

For non-medicated options of treatment for sinusitis, a salt water nasal spray can aid keep the nasal passageways moistened as well as rinse out bacteria and other irritants that may be lying claim to create an infection. On top of this, a humidifier is also a great way to reduce indoor dryness which can irritate the sinus membranes, causing sinusitis. We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on Sinus Drainage. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.

There are a couple of reasons why it is so important to get an accurate diagnosis from your doctor before using antibiotics for a sinus infection. First, treating conditions with antibiotics that are not true infections will not only be ineffective, it can also be absolute dangerous. By overusing antibiotics, you can make immunity to the effects of the medications, leaving you much more vulnerable to the many bacteria that are in our environment. The other problem with antibiotics is that the widespread use has resulted in a number of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, making it more difficult for doctors to be able to effectively treat some types of infections. This is why an exact diagnosis is so important before using antibiotics for a sinus infection. People have an inclination of bragging on the knowledge they have on any particular project. However, we don't want to brag on what we know on Sinusitis Swelling, so long as it proves useful to you, we are happy.

Sinus infections can be painful as much as necessary to interfere with your daily activities, but the treatment options can prove to be quite effective.

An expectorant can help with the thinning of the mucus secretions so that you may expel them easier and these are often paired with antihistamines which help with inflammation only. When a tougher treatment for sinusitis is required, the doctor may prescribe a nasal steroid which will work harder to help reduce sinus swelling and promote sinus drainage. Get more familiar with Sinusitis once you finish reading this article. Only then will you realize the importance of Sinusitis in your day to day life.

[list][*]Course of antibiotics are frequently prescribed by a doctor as the primary treatment for sinusitis.[*]Anti-fungal medications may be prescribed and in addition, a decongestant may be prescribed as well to help with the swelling of the nasal tissues.[*]You will learn the gravity of Sinus Cavity once you are through reading this matter.[*]Sinus Cavity are very important, so learn its importance.

Other simple methods that can be used for treating sinus infection include eating a proper diets as too is making use of homeopathy which when taken along with antibiotics, will help resolve the inflammation as well as the infection. Another useful method engaged, which is completely natural, is to take herbs that will help in stimulation of the immune system though you need to ensure that you take the correct herbs that act on the body's physiology in the best manner possible, and before choosing a home remedy, you must consult your doctor to get the right advice.

[list][*]Your treatment for sinusitis will very much depend on your risk factors for this inflammatory condition.[*]Infection is usually the major cause of sinusitis and often follows on the tail end of a bad cold or even the flu.[*]Having allergies to pollen, dust, pet dander, cigarette smoke, smog and even excessive dryness due to central air or heat can also trigger sinusitis.[*]We wish to stress on the importance and the necessity of Sinus Cavities through this article.[*]This is because we see the need of propagating its necessity and importance![/list]

Very simple yet very effective means of treating sinus infection is to drink a lot of clear fluids that makes the mucus turn liquid and thus can be drained from the cavities of the sinus. You could also drink herbal teas that include with fenugreek, sage as well as anise that will help drain the mucus, and another useful action would be to give up smoking which will help in reducing the inflammation and also irritation that is caused by smoke when it enters the airways in the sinus, and thus you won't be exacerbating the sinus problem. In any case, smoke from the cigarette in fact increases the production of mucus and therefore you will suffer from prolonged infection which can also not be easily cured.

Less common risk factors of sinusitis comprise immune system deficiencies and even nasal structural abnormalities. Polyps, a deviated septum, tumors or even bone spurs in the sinus cavity can also add to sinusitis. Knowing how you develop this condition will help in result a treatment for the condition.
