signs and caused of sinusitis you should know


 Sinusitis is considered trivial by many people experiencing symptoms. Although very annoying, many people assume that the symptoms of sinusitis are just symptoms of the common cold. And if not handled properly, sinusitis can cause a variety of other diseases around the ENT (ear, nose, throat) even up to cause meningitis. For that, you need to understand the symptoms and causes of sinusitis in order to conduct appropriate treatment.

Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the sinuses. Sinus itself is an air cavity in the facial area that is connected to the nose. Inflammation of the sinuses is caused by the accumulation of mucus in the sinus cavity and into the growth of bacteria. Normally, sinuses are filled with air, so when the sinus is blocked and filled with fluid or mucus, the bacteria and viruses can grow well, causing inflammation to infection.

In addition to viruses and bacteria, there are several other risk factors that can lead to sinusitis. For example, air pollution, smoke and chemicals such as pesticides, disinfectants and detergents. Allergies such as asthma and hay fever can also cause sinusitis.

Some of the symptoms of sinusitis is pain around the face, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, sneezing and coughing. A person can be suspected of suffering from sinusitis when showing two or more symptoms of sinusitis is more than seven days. While the treatment of sinusitis can be done by looking at the level of severity.

  
1.Light Sinusitis

In simple sinusitis or new symptoms less than two weeks, you can be cured with a given liquid dripped into the nose or evaporation alone. Nose drops are effective in controlling the symptoms and usually can be used for four to five days as directed by your doctor.


2. Heavy Sinusitis

If you are already undergoing treatment above and sinusitis symptoms do not get better until eight weeks, then you have to undergo other treatments. Corticosteroid drug delivery is one of them. These drugs are usually given by injection and is only given when you have nasal polyps. Nose drops and antibiotics can still be used but must be the dose recommended by the doctor.

When various treatments have been carried out but the symptoms of sinusitis does not go away then surgery may be an option. In this surgery the doctor will explore parts of your sinuses. Then the doctor will take action based on the results of exploration. For example, if there are polyps in the nose, the doctor will remove tissue polyps that cause blockages.
