Signs And Symptoms Of Sinus Infection

Sinusitis 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. A sinusitis infection is recognized by a blockage which causes inflammation or swelling of the lining in the sinus passages and cavities. 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. There are many signs and symptoms of sinus infection. Treatments that result in drainage will produce symptom relief as well as alleviate the blockage and severe congestion.

As a result of the inflammation, drainage is needed to experience symptom relief. Drainage is the act or process of drawing off fluids from a cavity or wound by means of suction or gravity. Signs and symptoms of sinusitis infection are:

  • headache
  • facial pain
  • pressure in the face that is dull or constant
  • aching over the affected sinuses
  • cough

Pain is likely to increase when laying down or bending over. The pain in the head typically starts on one side of the head and progresses to both sides. Sinus infections can also cause inner ear problems as a result of the nasal passages being clogged. As a result of the nasal inflammation the affected person may feel dizzy or heavy head or a vibrating sensation in the head. The nasal congestion from a sinus infection can induce a migraine.

A sinusitis infection is often due to a cold or an allergy that results in a blockage of foreign debris of bacteria, fungi or virus triggering 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.

Sinusitis can be classified into three categories:

  • acute lasting less than four weeks
  • sub-acute lasting four to eight weeks
  • chronic with a duration of eight 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. 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.

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.
