Acute Sinus Infection Symptoms
|
Acute Sinus Infection Symptoms develop as a result of a sinusitis infection. Sinusitis is a condition which refers to inflammation in the sinus cavities caused typically by a viral, bacterial or fungal blockage in the sinus cavities. When a person has a cold or allergy, swelling of the sinus cavity lining occurs. The sinus area is an air filled cavity located in the skull located behind the forehead, cheeks, eyes and nasal bones. When bacteria or other pathogens enter the sinus cavity and attack the swollen lining, greater inflammation occurs in the nasal passages. If the sinus openings are blocked or there is an excess build up of mucus, the cilia, small hairs inside the nasal cavity cannot perform their function of flushing out the trapped bacteria and mucus. Acute Sinus Infection Symptoms can develop if there are blocked sinus openings whether it is caused by excess mucus, the cilia not functioning or a deviated septum or nasal polyp is the onset of a sinusitis infection. Symptoms A Sinus infection is considered Acute when the infection has existed for less than twelve weeks; acute sinus infection symptoms last up to four weeks. Acute Sinus Infection Problems are cough, congestion, postnasal drip, green nasal discharge, and facial pain and pressure. 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. Contributing Factors Conditions that predispose a person to an acute sinus infection are allergic rhinitis e.g. hay fever, cystic fibrosis, large adenoids, smoking, change in altitude and diseases that interfere with the cilia. The standard treatment for an Acute Sinus infection is typically an oral antibiotic. The oral antibiotic is absorbed into the blood stream and delivered to the sinus cavity through the blood vessels. The anatomy of the sinus cavity is such that there are a small amount of blood vessels in the nasal cavity. Therefore, treating a sinus infection with an oral antibiotic is problematic as a larger amount of blood vessels is required to deliver the appropriate dose of medication to the infected area. In short, it is difficult for an effective amount of medication to be delivered to the sinusitis infection.
