SINUS INFECTION
Sinusitis or sinus infection caused by a bacterial infection that can occur as a late complication of a cold. Nasal congestion produces swelling in the sinus cavities, preventing drainage and causing mucus to stagnate. Unfortunately, it provides a breeding ground for infections. Sinusitis becomes chronic when it lasts more than three months. Chronic sinusitis ( sinus infection ) can be caused by a bacterial infection, but is more often a chronic inflammatory disorder. Other causes of chronic sinusitis is immune problems or structural abnormalities in the nasal cavity.
In each year, 37 million Americans suffer from sinusitis (sinus inflammation or infection ), where nearly 12 million doctor visits. Symptoms associated with sinus conditions can be debilitating for many patients. Indeed, in a recent survey of 1,008 consumers and 127 physicians, over half (54 percent) of consumers said they lost sleep at least twice during allergy season last year because of symptoms the sinuses, causing them to be less alert at work the next day. Twenty-five percent of consumers also reported missing at least three days after work or school due to illness during allergy season last year.
Experts say it is important to know that patients although the symptoms may seem similar, there are some differences in between allergies, viral infections such as colds and sinus bacterial infection because treatment options vary. Fifty-one percent of physicians surveyed said they believe that patients with sinus-related symptoms, wait too long before coming to them for treatment. With a cold, runny nose and other typical symptoms tend to disappear or decrease after about a week. But a bacterial sinus infection lasts longer. mucus tends to thicken and discolor, and it is usually pain associated with it.
Although rhinitis is the most frequent sinusitis or sinus infection, allergy sufferers may also have a tendency to develop sinusitis. Interestingly, this study has confirmed the American Academy of Ear and Throat Diseases, Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) and supported by Bayer Corporation, 39 percent of consumers reported their sinus infections began with a simple allergies. According to an expert, as a cold, allergies can cause irritation and inflammation of the sinuses and full of mucus, which is vital clog the nasal drainage can also cause inflammation. Breast infections usually requires a combination of drugs. Some medicines treat symptoms and other infections. Furthermore, appropriate antibiotic treatment, if the sinus infection is bacterial, the doctor may also prescribe medicine to open the sinus points and reducing barriers to control the allergy.
