Sinusitis Infection
|
A sinusitis infection is inflammation of the sinuses caused by a blockage in the sinus cavity that stem from the presence of foreign debris in the sinus passages. “Sinus Infection or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. Sinus infections can cause headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head. A person with a sinus infection may also have a cough, a fever, bad breath, and nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions. Sinusitis is categorized as acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long term, the most common type).” Blocked sinuses Blocked sinuses are very uncomfortable as pressure builds in the swollen sinus cavities. There are various methods used to treat a sinusitis infection and experience symptom relief. The need to drain the sinuses is vital to return quality of life and functional breathing as well as to reduce inflammation. Treatments that result in drainage will produce symptom relief as well as alleviate the blockage and severe congestion. Drainage is the act or process of drawing off fluids from a cavity or wound by means of suction or gravity. During a sinusitis infection it is experienced as a cold that won’t go away, nasal pressure, pain, postnasal drip, headache, pressure in the face and cheeks. The blockage of foreign debris 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 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. Classifications of sinus infection Sinusitis can be classified into three categories: acute lasting less than four weeks, subacute lasting 4–8 weeks, or chronic with a duration of 8 weeks or more with additional symptoms that develop such as fatigue, dental pain, loss of smell and loss of taste. All sinusitis classifications share similar symptoms, which make it difficult to distinguish between the three classes. An acute sinusitis is the most common classification experienced with approximately 90% of adults experiencing sinusitis at some point in their life. A sinusitis infection is a blockage, inflammation or swelling of the lining in the sinus passages and cavities. There are many conditions that contribute to the onset of a sinusitis infection such as the common cold, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps as well as a deviated septum. During the course of an infection or immune system reaction in the sinus passages the open airways can become filled with germs. In addition, the sinuses can fill with mucus as a histamine reaction or white blood cell response. It is during the course of an infection in the sinus passages that sinusitis infection develops. The sinus infection necessarily causes swelling and inflammation in the sinus cavity lining. In addition, when the bacteria or other pathogens attack the sinus cavity opening to the extent that the sinus cavity is sealed shut this is the onset of a sinusitis infection. The existing swelling of the sinus cavity walls caused by a cold or allergy set the stage for the bacteria in the infection to further attack the already swollen cavity walls, causing greater inflammation. Most physicians prescribe an oral antibiotic to treat sinusitis. However, oral antibiotics are known to be marginally effective in treating a sinusitis infection. Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely on the blood stream and blood vessels exclusively to carry medication to the infected sinus cavity. Relying on the sinus cavities to provide the medication through the limited supply of blood vessels in the sinus cavity 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 scant amount of blood vessels that are thus unable to deliver an effective dose to the site of infection. The sinus cavities blood vessels which are swollen and infected providing all the treatment to the sinusitis infection results in an ineffective method for treating this area of the body. In short, it is difficult to effectively treat any sinusitis infection with oral antibiotics.
Sinus Dynamics offers the most innovative treatment for sinusitis infection currently on the market with custom compounded antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories that are delivered directly into the sinus cavities with a state of the art nebulizer that produces a pressurized aerosolized mist. 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. Call Sinus Dynamics today to order your treatment for your sinusitis infection (877) 447-4276.
