Impacted Sinus Infection Symptoms


What to Expect

Impacted Sinus Infection Symptoms can develop as a result of a sinusitis infection. There are several pairs of paranasal sinuses. There are the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. The most common sinuses to become impacted are the maxillary sinuses and the sphenoid sinuses. A sinusitis infection is inflammation that develops in the sinus cavities typically as a result of a blockage or bacteria. The sinusitis infection develops commonly when there is existing inflammation in the sinus cavity usually as a result of a cold or an allergy. The increased inflammation in the sinus cavity results in the sinus cavity opening being sealed shut due to the inflammation. A sinus or nasal obstruction will require drainage to return to a functional level. Drainage is the act or process of drawing off fluids from a cavity or wound by means of suction or gravity. When the sinus area is impacted the cilia, small hairs in the nasal passages, can no longer flush out the bacteria and mucus causing pressure to build in the face and head.

Chronic vs Acute Sinusitis

Sinus infections are classified as acute or chronic regardless of the sinuses that are impacted. The distinction between acute and chronic sinus symptoms is that chronic sinusitis symptoms may get better and then worsen. Sinusitis is considered acute sinusitis when it has existed for less than twelve weeks. If the Sinusitis symptoms continue for twelve or more weeks it is then diagnosed as chronic and the symptoms typically include fatigue as well as loss of taste and smell. The normal course of a chronic sinus infection is 12 weeks or longer. The myriad of sinus infection symptoms include:

  • cough
  • fever
  • headache
  • congestion
  • postnasal drip
  • sore throat

Nasal irrigation and nasal sprays are recommended to keep the nasal cavity free of allergens and pathogens. Nasal sprays are also frequently used to alleviate the symptoms of sinusitis. The size of the nasal spray particle is large, making the droplet too big to pass through the inflamed opening of the sinus cavity and then only provide minimal relief to the lower sinus area.

Physicians typically prescribe an oral antibiotic to treat those suffering with an impacted sinus infection symptoms. Oral antibiotics and oral medications work by traveling through the blood stream via the blood vessels to the infected area. An antibiotic is an effective treatment for sinusitis conditions as an antibiotic is compound or substance that eradicates or slows down the growth of bacteria of microorganisms that are antagonistic to the growth of other pathogenic eradicating infectious diseases. However, due to the sinus cavity being designed with few blood vessels, very little medication reaches the sinus cavity as blood vessels are the method of delivering medication to the infected sinus cavity. Sinus surgery is recommended when the standard procedures for treating the infection have failed. Unfortunately, sinus surgery only offers temporary relief as surgery tends to provide a small reduction in the inflammation in the sinus cavity. Sinus surgery typically only removes a portion of the infection resulting in a return of the sinusitis infection.

Treatment Methods

Sinus Dynamics approach to treating impacted sinus symptoms is the most innovative form of treatment on the market. Sinus Dynamics custom compounded antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and anti-fungals are delivered into the infected and inflamed sinus cavity through a nebulizer which emits a 3.2 micron particle into the nasal passage. Sinus Dynamics uses Aerosolized Sinus Therapy which is a topical approach to treating sinus infection symptoms. The medicated mist that is emitted from the nebulizer can travel past the sinus cavity opening and enter the inflamed the sinus cavity, and treat the sinusitis infection. Sinus Dynamics nebulized anti-inflammatories, anti-fungals and antibiotics are much more effective than oral antibiotics since they do not rely on the lack of blood vessels in the sinus cavity to treat inflammation and infection. Sinus Dynamics treatment results in a low systemic absorption rate with little to no side effects. Sinus Dynamics has a 98% success rate in treating patients with sinusitis. Sinus Dynamics offers one of the safest and most successful treatments for a sinusitis infection available.
