Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinus cavities. The sinusitis begins when a person has existing swelling of the sinus cavity lining caused by a cold or an allergy which results in trapped bacteria attacking the sinus cavity opening. When the sinus cavity opening is inflamed the cilia can no longer flush out the bacteria and mucus and the sinusitis infection begins. When the sinusitis infection has been in place for twelve weeks, it is considered an acute sinusitis infection. Some of the problems that a person may have with acute sinusitis are facial pain and pressure, congestion, cough, postnasal drip, and green nasal discharge. When the infection lasts for twelve of more weeks it is considered chronic and a person may have additional symptoms such as loss of sense of taste and smell as well as fatigue. 

·         When the sinusitis infection lasts for less than twelve weeks it is Acute Sinusitis. The most common symptoms of Acute Bacterial Sinusitis Problems are cough, congestion, and postnasal drip. Acute Bacterial Sinusitis Problems can impact daily life and functioning. It is important to effectively treat the infection to avoid further sinus complications. 

A bacterial infection is pathogenic bacteria that under certain conditions allows for entry into the blood or decreasing immune functioning. Antibiotics are prescribed to eradicate pathogenic bacteria. 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 is an underlying cause for sinusitis. Antibiotics that are prescribed are chosen due to the culture and type of infection.

Treatments

There are many treatments for acute bacterial sinusitis problems available and the most common prescription by physicians to treat sinusitis is an oral antibiotic. However, oral antibiotics have difficulty eradicating infection in the sinus cavity. Oral antibiotics work on infections by traveling through the blood stream to the infected area. One of the problems with oral antibiotics being used to treat sinusitis is that there are a relatively small amount of blood vessels located in the sinus cavities. Therefore an effective amount of medication cannot be deposited into the sinus cavity through the small amount of blood vessels. There are other routes available to deliver medication to the sinus cavities during a sinusitis infection that are more effective that are less commonly used. Nasal administration is an effective route of admission that is becoming more widely used due to its effectiveness. The class of medication referred to as aminoglycosides are a potent class of antibiotics that are used specifically for sinus and lung infections and is delivered through a nebulizer, for example. Medication compliance is strongly advised as well as informing your doctor or pharmacist of your medical history and history of allergies. This is an antibiotic that serves to kill the bacterial infections in the sinuses.

 

Course

Frequently, those suffering with sinusitis are prescribed nasal sprays or they are encouraged to purchase over the counter nasal sprays. Over the counter and prescribed nasal sprays are often utilized in the course of a sinusitis infection and due alleviate congestion and inflammation. Nasal sprays can provide relief to the lower part of the sinus cavities and can flush out the lower sinuses. However, due to the large particle size emitted from the nasal spray bottle a nasal spray droplet is unable to make contact with the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities and with the upper sinus regions where the majority of the inflammation exists. Nasal irrigation is also recommended as well for individuals who already have a sinus problem or allergies, as a sinus irrigator can help improve a preexisting condition by clearing out nasal congestion, post nasal drip and other allergens with water and saline solutions. The purpose of a sinus irrigator is to clean out his or her sinus cavities and nasal passages as well as prevent the development of an infection unlike a nasal spray which seeks to flush the sinus passage. A nasal spray deposits medication unlike a nasal irrigator which cleanses the sinuses. 

How to Treat

Sinus Dynamics custom compounded antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories are delivered topically into the sinus cavities with a state of the art nebulizer. The nebulizer emits a fine medicated mist with 3.2-micron sized particle that can rapidly enter the inflamed sinus cavities and fight through the bacteria, reaching the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities. Sinus Dynamics offers the most effective treatment for all types of sinusitis infections by delivering medication directly into the sinus cavity.   The medication reaches the site of infection through the pressurized aerosolized mist that can travel up into the inflamed sinuses. The aerosolized medicated mist is sent up into the actual site of the sinusitis infection, fighting the infection on contact. Sinus Dynamics’ topical approach to treating sinusitis is highly effective as medications that are topically applied result in little to no side effects and ensure 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 today to order your treatment for acute bacterial sinusitis problems (877) 447-4276.
