Sinusitis Sinuses are a part of the upper respiratory system. Adults and older children have four groups of sinus cavities located within the bones surrounding the nose. Very young children have small sinus passages rather than fully formed sinuses. They may be prone to developing sinusitis because their smaller sinus passages become obstructed more easily. To work properly, the sinuses need adequate mucus drainage and a functioning immune system to fight off infections. What is sinusitis? Sinusitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the mucous membranes that line the sinus cavities. This can interfere with normal sinus drainage and cause increased mucus production. Untreated and prolonged sinus inflammation can lead to infection and increased symptoms. The drainage from the nose and sinuses is known as post-nasal drip. Who develops sinusitis? The common cold (viral respiratory illnesses), allergies and factors in the environment are the most common triggers for the development of sinusitis. Other important factors may include tobacco exposure, nasal septal deviation, nasal polyps, dryness and mold sensitivity. Diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, immune deficiencies and immotile cilia syndrome are often associated with sinusitis. What are the symptoms?

Some people suffer from repeated sinusitis while others avoid the problem altogether. We do not know why. Many people develop sinus congestion with a cold, but this rarely develops into a bacterial infection. Symptoms The way sinusitis affects you depends upon which of your sinuses - the hollow bone cavities - is affected. It can feel like severe toothache or like a headache with tenderness under the eyebrows. Generally, your nose feels blocked up and your voice has a nasal sound. It can last for weeks but most will clear up within 7 days. Causes We know that the sinuses fail to drain though their ducts into the back of the nose and that it often follows a cold or allergic attack, but we don't really know why. Complications Serious complications such as infection spreading into the bone are now very rare. Self care Pain relief is important. Take aspirin (not for children under 16 years), paracetamol or ibuprofen.

Go Back Nutrition for a Living Planet - Home Page Sinusitis You’re coughing and sneezing and tired and achy. You think that you might be getting a cold. Later, when the medicines you’ve been taking to relieve the symptoms of the common cold are not working and you’ve now got a terrible headache, you finally drag yourself to the doctor. After listening to your history of symptoms, examining your face and forehead, and perhaps doing a sinus X-ray, the doctor says you have sinusitis. Sinusitis simply means inflammation of the sinuses, but this gives little indication of the misery and pain this condition can cause. Chronic sinusitis, sinusitis that persists for at least 3 weeks, affects an estimated 32 million people in the United States. Americans spend millions of dollars each year for medications that promise relief from their sinus symptoms. Sinuses are hollow air spaces, of which there are many in the human body. These cavities, located within the skull or bones of the head surrounding the nose, include the frontal sinuses over the eyes in the brow area; the maxillary sinuses inside each cheekbone; the ethmoids just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes; and behind them, the sphenoids in the upper region of the nose and behind the eyes. Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, and each is joined with the nasal passages by a continuous mucous membrane lining. Therefore, anything that causes a swelling in the nose - an infection or an allergic reaction - also can affect the sinuses. Air trapped within an obstructed sinus, along with pus or other secretions, may cause pressure on the sinus wall. The result is the sometimes intense pain of a sinus attack. Similarly, when air is prevented from entering a paranasal sinus by a swollen membrane at the opening, a vacuum can be created that also causes pain.

Sinusitis WHAT IS IT? Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of one or more of the sinuses. The sinuses are air cavities in the bones of the skull and face, which connect with the nose through small openings. There are four pairs of sinuses: the frontal sinuses sit above the eyes in the forehead, the maxillary sinuses lie behind the cheekbones, the sphenoid pair rests behind the nose, and the ethmoid sinuses are located between the eyes and the bridge of the nose. WHAT CAUSES IT? Sinusitis can be caused by viral, bacterial or fungal infection, or allergy. Inflammation produces swelling of the mucosal lining; this blocks the small openings into the nose, preventing normal drainage of the sinuses. Accumulation of mucus and secretions within the cavities turns them into an ideal breeding ground for further infection. Sinusitis frequently occurs with or after a cold. WHAT ARE ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS? Pain over the infected sinuses, thick opaque yellow-green nasal discharge, fever, fatigue, and headache that lasts all day. Depending on the sinus involved, there may be swelling around the eyes, increased pain with bending, coughing and throat irritation due to a post-nasal drip, or dizziness. Pain can also occur behind the eyes or around the teeth. IS IT CONTAGIOUS?

Dr. Grossan's Ear, Nose and Throat Consultant Pages Cystic Fibrosis and Sinusitis Medicine has advanced the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) significantly in the past 10 years. Various measures that clear the lungs are becoming standardized. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as other support groups have been contributing not only to uncovering a cure but in helping the patient and their families as well. In 1989 the gene etiology of this condition was recognized and gene therapy is now being actively pursued. The CF patient fails to have normal mucus clearance. Thick tenacious mucus keeps bacteria from being cleared and prevents antibiotics from being effective. Clearance of mucus from the chest therefore is a paramount treatment objective. Various physical therapy methods include chest percussion, forceful exhalation, various dilators, postural drainage. The flutter device uses sound vibration to help reduce the thickness of the mucus. Inhalation of drugs that break down the structure of the mucus are in use. A similar thick fluid causes sinus infections. Nasal polyps are common. This is a type of bag of water where the liquid is maintained within the cell so that the cell expands and blocks the nose. A mucocele can develop, often in the frontal sinus. This is a similar bag of water within a membrane that expands and puts pressure on the sinus wall. Headaches in the frontal sinus area - above the eyes - is a common sign.

By Janice Billingsley HealthDay Reporter From HealthDayNews Oct. 1 Maybe not, say doctors who warn that those symptoms could also signal sinusitis, a potentially painful condition that, left untreated, can become chronic. Sinusitis is characterized by inflammation of the nasal passages that can be caused by a number of factors, from a cold to allergies to an infection. The inflammation shrinks the passages so mucus can't drain properly, causing the discomfort and infection that are hallmarks of sinusitis. The result can be health problems that include headache; pain in the teeth, jaws and cheeks; swelling of the eyelids and tissues around the eyes; and pain between your eyes. Other potential problems include stuffy nose, loss of smell, earaches, neck pain and deep aching at the top of the head, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Left untreated, sinusitis can last anywhere from weeks, to months or even years.

Chronic sinusitis is when symptoms last longer than 12 weeks. (Photodisc) Understanding Sinusitis By Christine Haran We've all had cold symptoms that linger on for weeks, leaving us wondering if we'll ever feel healthy again. Most of the time it's just a bad cold caused by a virus, or allergies. But nasal congestion that prevents the sinuses from draining properly can create a perfect environment for a bacterial infection and the development of sinusitis. More than 31 million Americans have at least on case of acute sinusitis each year, and a small portion of those people will go to develop chronic sinusitis, with symptoms lasting at least 12 weeks. Below, Dr. Jerry Schreibstein, president of the Massachusetts Society of Otolaryngology and a practicing ear, nose and throat physician in Springfield, Mass., reviews the different kinds of sinusitis and how each type can be prevented and treated.

Sinusitis. Some guinea pigs are very susceptible it this condition and one of the main causes for it is bedding them on sawdust and wood shavings. I always bed mine on hay and newspaper but I am very fussy about the quality of the hay I use for old and dusty hay can be as bad as sawdust or shavings. The symptoms of sinusitis are similar to those of a human being with hay fever, sneezing, a running nose and a wheezing noise which come from the nose and can sometime reach back to the throat. There is not a lot that can be done other than putting a dab of Vic ointment on the nose, though I have heard that the use of antihistamines can be used I have had no experience of using them. As I am uncertain of any side effects they may have, and the condition is not life threatening I have not even thought of trying them myself. Obviously, if the bedding is suspect then it has to be removed but sometimes the source of the irritant cannot be traced so it is just a matter of trying to be observant the next time the condition occurs.
