Sinusitis Frontal Problems

A sinus infection in the frontal sinuses can be very serious.  Of the four sets of sinuses that are located in and around the face, the medical complications that can develop from a sinus infection in the frontal sinuses can be life threatening if left untreated.  The four sinuses are:

• Frontal Sinuses
• Sphenoid Sinuses
• Ethmoid Sinuses
• Maxillary Sinuses

Each set of sinuses is located in the face area.  Sinuses are actually air filled hollow cavities that are connected that humidify and heat inhaled air, decrease the relative weight of the front of the skull, insulate sensitive structures, increase voice resonance, and provide a buffer against any blow to the face.  The frontal sinuses are located in the low center of the forehead and form the hard part of the forehead. 

• ·         The frontal sinuses are located above the sphenoid, ethmoid, and maxillary sinuses.  The sinuses are lined with soft pink tissues called mucosa inside of the nasal passages.  The frontal sinuses are not present at birth but develop between age seven and eight years old typically.  The back of the frontal sinuses are the actual bone that overlies the brain. 
• ·         Sinusitis Frontal problems, which are Inflammation in the frontal sinuses, can produce serious complications due to the close proximity to the brain, such as meningitis, orbital cellulitis, epidural and subdural abscesses. 
• ·         A sinusitis infection in the frontal sinuses will likely result in head ache, facial pressure and possible dizziness.

The standard sinus infection

Sinusitis is: inflammation of the sinuses caused by a blockage in the sinus cavity caused by foreign debris.  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, facial pressure, and fatigue. 

Sinusitis generally requires medical attention and there are several different treatment options available.  Many physicians prescribe oral antibiotics to treat sinusitis as the primary course of treatment.  Although oral antibiotics are currently the most common prescription to treat a sinusitis infection they are marginally effective in eradicating this particular infection.  Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely exclusively on the blood stream and blood vessels to carry medication to the infected sinus cavity.  Relying on the sinus cavities to provide the medication through the limited supply of blood vessels is problematic as the blood vessels cannot deliver an effective dose of medication to the actual site of infection.  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.  

Frontal Sinus Infection care

Sinus Dynamics is sinus therapy treatment that exclusively treats sinus infections with a comprehensive sinus therapy program.  Sinus Dynamics custom compounded antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories are delivered with a pressurized aerosolized mist through a state of the art nebulizer into the sinus cavities.  Sinus Dynamics nebulizer emits a fine medicated mist with 3.2-micron particle size that can rapidly enter the inflamed sinus cavities, depositing medication and making contact with the infection directly. The aerosolized medicated mist is sent up into nasal passages reaching the actual site of the sinusitis infection, fighting the infection on contact.  Sinus Dynamics’ topical approach to treating sinusitis is particularly effective as medications that are topically applied result in little to no side effects and ensure a low systemic absorption rate as well as reaching the site of infection unlike the other treatment methods prescribed.  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.  Contact Sinus Dynamics to order the treatment for your sinusitis frontal problems today (877) 447-4276.
