How To Treat Sinusitis: Nebulizer Therapy


Nebulizer therapy which is also known as aerosol therapy is a topical approach to treating sinus infections. A nebulizer can change medication from a liquid into an aerosol form. Aerosol therapy was originally primarily used for asthmatics due to the aerosol mist reaching the bronchi. Nebulizers are also able to propel medications deep into the sinus passages. There are many advantages in using aerosol therapy which involve the medications taking effect immediately. A nebulized medication is an alternative to using an oral administration; using the nasal route. The nasal route also allows for low systemic absorption, unlike an oral antibiotic. However, nebulized therapy is fast becoming a first line treatment method by ENT’s due to the statistical research that is coming out and patient response to this method.

Why is it called a topical treatment?

Aerosol therapy is referred to as a topical treatment since the aerosol mist actually makes contact with the membranes inside the nasal cavity. Medications cannot be delivered into the nasal passage, for example, through a nasal spray due to the clumsy design of the nasal spray which produces a particle that is too large in comparison to the sinus passages. The actual nozzle of a nasal spray prohibits the delivery of medications which result in “squirting medication” onto the peripheral membranes, and not delivering medication into the sinus cavities. With a nebulizer, the mist is so fine that it can actually enter into the sinus cavity. Treatment time is 3-5 minutes. The patient takes the device which is hand held, light weight and portable and inhales the mist gently. The aerosolized medication can travel into the sinus cavity. It is easy to do. Medications are poured into the medication chamber, and the device is plugged in or used with batteries. The patient sits with the nebulizer inhaling until the medication is dispensed. It is recommended that the user wash the device after usage. The nebulizer can be carried easily and discretely, and does not interfere with daily life.

If you have acute sinusitis or chronic sinusitis which affects more than 35 million people each year and you do not have time to waste waiting to feel better, consider a state of the art approach. Oral antibiotics are really very ineffective and cause real problems when taken orally and cannot treat the actual infection. Over prescription of oral antibiotics is always in the news due to creating drug resistant bacteria. Consider an antibiotic that is topical and can actually treat your sinus infection.

Acute sinusitis is a very common diagnosis found in the adult population with postnasal drip being a signature symptom. Sinusitis that is chronic can be very serious, the infection can cause severe pain as well as enter the adjacent structures, the brain, eyes, and ears. This is no joke. Sinusitis is recognized as inflammation of the sinuses caused by a blockage in the sinus cavity caused by foreign debris.

Symptoms:

  • Thick yellow-green nasal drainage
  • Congestion
  • Head ache
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Sore throat
  • Fatigue
