Sinusitis Antibiotics


A sinusitis infection is inflammation of the sinus lining, especially the nasal sinuses.  The infection in the sinus area is frequently treated with antibiotics.  An antibiotic is a compound or substance that slows down the growth of bacteria or kills bacteria or any microorganism that is antagonistic to the growth of other microorganisms “in high dilution.”  An antibiotic is a treatment that is prescribed with the purpose of  eliminating the bacteria which are an underlying cause for sinusitis.  Antibiotics are chosen and prescribed due to the presentation of the infection as well as the cultured infection results.  For example, an antimicrobial or macrolide antibiotic is used to treat acute maxillary sinusitis infections as well as pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia and skin structure infections as well many other very serious illnesses.  Sinusitis antibiotics are prescribed for the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, as well as asthma due to anti-inflammatory effects as well as being effective for treating airway infections.  Antibiotics come in oral, liquid and IV form but are most common in oral form.

 

Bacteria, Fungi or Viral?

 

Sinusitis is inflammation caused by pathogens in the sinuses which produce a blockage in the sinus cavity.  The blockage of bacteria, fungi or virus also triggers excess mucus production in the sinus cavities and inflammation due to the pathogens attacking the sinus cavity openings.  When the sinus cavity openings are attacked this leads to a more serious sinus infection.  Sinusitis develops typically as a result when there is existing inflammation from a cold or allergy.  When bacteria get into the sinus cavities, they attack the swelling of the cavity lining, causing more inflammation.  During a sinusitis infection, the cilia which are small hairs in the nasal passageways cannot perform their function of removing the debris that is blocked inside the sinus cavity.   There are a myriad of symptoms that take place with a sinusitis infection.  Common symptoms of a sinusitis infection include: cough, upper respiratory congestion, postnasal drip, nasal discharge, fever, facial pain and facial pressure. 

 

Sinusitis frequently requires medication and there are several different treatment options available.  Some forms of sinusitis are viral and will not respond to an antibiotic.  Chronic sinusitis frequently is viral in nature, however, due to secondary infections that develop from the sinusitis infection will result in the treating physician prescribing an antibiotic at least prophylatically.  The goal of treatment is to reduce the inflammation as well as prevent flare ups while draining the sinus passages.

 

·         Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely on the blood stream and blood vessels exclusively to carry medication to the infected sinus cavity.  Recurrent sinusitis infections are common with the use of oral antibiotics due to the blood vessels inability to provide an effective dose to the site of infection. 

 

The sinus cavities scant supply of blood vessels which are swollen and infected providing all the treatment to the infection results in an ineffective method for treating this area of the body.  

·         Therefore, a sinusitis antibiotic treatment that is not oral would be more effective. 

 

A topical treatment?

Sinus Dynamics offers custom compounded antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories that are delivered topically into the sinus cavities with a state of the art nebulizer.  Sinus Dynamic’s nebulizer emits a fine medicated mist with 1.0 to 3.2 micron sized particle that can easily travel up into the inflamed sinus cavities and make contact with the trapped bacteria as well as reaching the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities.  

 

Sinus Infections require a strong dose of medication, like infections in other parts of the body.  The approach offered by Sinus Dynamics will give your sinus cavities the full dose needed resulting in a more effective treatment by delivering medication directly into the sinus cavity.  A topical treatment also ensures little to no side effect as well as a low systemic absorption rate.  Sinus Dynamics sinus therapy is highly effective, easy to use, and safe with a 98% success rate in the treatment of patients who are suffering with sinusitis infections.  Call Sinus Dynamics (877) 447-4276 to obtain sinusitis antibiotic that can treat your sinusitis infection!
