Sinusitis Signs And Symptoms


What are the signs of sinusitis infection?

There are a myriad of sinusitis signs & symptoms. 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 the 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. Treatments that result in reducing the inflammation in the sinus cavities as well as draining the nasal passages that are impacted by excess mucus will provide relief.

Signs and symptoms of sinusitis infection are:

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

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; vertigo. 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 primarily recognized by nasal pressure, pain, postnasal drip, headache, pressure in the face and cheeks. The blockage of foreign debris of bacteria, fungi or virus also triggers excess mucus production in the sinus cavities and inflammation due to the pathogens attacking the sinus cavity openings. Sinusitis develops typically when there is existing inflammation from a cold or allergy. 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. 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.

Treatment - How does an oral antibiotic reach the sinus cavities?

Oral antibiotics are the most common method utilized by physicians to treat sinusitis. However, oral antibiotics are often overprescribed and with a sinus infection considered to be marginally effective due to the lack of blood vessels in the sinus cavity. Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely on the blood stream and blood vessels exclusively in the sinus cavity to carry medication to the sinus infection. Relying on the sinus cavities to provide the medication through the limited supply of blood vessels in the sinus cavity is problematic as the blood vessels cannot deliver an effective dose of medication to the actual site of infection. The swollen and infected blood vessels providing all the treatment to the sinusitis infection results in recurrent sinusitis infections which is due to the dearth of blood vessels in the sinus cavity. The other treatment options for sinusitis signs & symptoms include:

  • over the counter decongestants
  • antihistamines
  • expectorants
  • nasal sprays
  • aerosolized therapy

What is Aerosolized Therapy?

Aerosol drug administration also known as Inhalation Therapy is a therapy that can be used effectively to treat sinusitis. It is a method by which drugs are dispersed into the lungs, bronchial or sinus airways in tiny droplets through a nebulizer. Sinusitis aerosolized treatment or inhalation therapy typically includes the use of one of two types of nebulizers which are mechanical pumps. Nebulizers disperse the drug in a pressurized mist or gas to create a fine mist when inhaled and are a common method of delivering medications for those with sinusitis, respiratory issues, asthma, as well as other conditions. Sinusitis aerosolized treatment therapy is very effective when used correctly due to the longer period of time dispersed, allowing the airways to stay open longer. Aerosolized therapy is considered a topical treatment due to the medication making actual contact with the infection directly.

Sinus Dynamics offers a sinusitis treatment method using aerosolized therapy and it is currently the most innovative treatment for sinusitis infection currently on the market. Sinus Dynamics incorporates 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. The purpose of aerosolized medications is to administer medication where rapid absorption and localization is an appropriate response and is safe practice. 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 a safe, novel, and effective method of treating sinusitis infections with a 98% success rate in the treatment of patients who are suffering with sinusitis. Contact Sinus Dynamics (877) 447-4276 today if you have the sinusitis signs and symptoms.
