There are two types of sinusitis. Acute
sinusitis is often caused by a bacterial infection and usually develops
as a complication of a viral respiratory infection such as the common
cold. Chronic sinusitis may also be caused by bacterial infection, but
is more often a chronic inflammatory disorder similar to bronchial
asthma.
Symptoms of sinusitis include :
- Thick yellow or green mucous that
runs from the nose or down the throat
- Unusual bad taste or bad breadth
- Nasal stuffiness
- Facial pain or pressure
- Cough
- Headache
- Toothache
- Fever and chills
- Fatigue
- Swelling around the eyes or cheeks
You should consult your doctor is
you develop sinusitis, and the common treatment for sinusitis
involves one or more of the following :
- Between 10 and 14 days of
antibiotics for acute sinusitis. No antibiotics are needed for
chronic sinusitis
- Decongestants
- Steroid nasal sprays
- A seawater or saline nasal
wash
- Treating underlying allergies
(if there are any) with medications and/ or allergy shots.
- Surgery should be considered
only if treatment from your doctor does not work, or if there is
something blocking the sinuses, that cannot be treated with
medicine.
