[size=4][b]Getting Sinuses to Drain - Sinus Infection Symptoms - How can I Tell If I Have a Sinus Infection? - Nurse's Guide[/b][/size][hr]Thousands of people suffer from acute or chronic sinus infection symptoms every day and don't know they can do something to relieve their symptoms naturally. The old sinus infection treatment approach of antibiotics is seldom used anymore and likely shouldn't be.

[size=large][b]You Want to Moisten the Sinuses Not Dry Them Out[/b][/size][hr]There are some good natural sinus home remedies that work a lot better than the old sinus medicines and can actually cure you and even help stop sinus infections in the future. Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page? So much stands to gain, and to lose about Sinus Headache through a single page.

[size=large][b]Often People Think They Have a Cold Because the Symptoms are Similar[/b][/size][hr]I've had patients tell me they have a chronic cold. Actually they most likely don't have a cold and are suffering from a sinus infection. It is rather inviting to go on writing on Sinus Headache. however as there is a limitation to the number of words to be written, we have confined ourselves to this. However, do enjoy yourself reading it.

[list][*]Sinus infections are systemic not just localized.[*]You may feel tired or unusually fatigued.[*]It may affect your smell and taste.[*]And you may experience bad breath.[/list]

[size=large][b]This is Kind of a Backward Approach[/b][/size][hr]Treating the symptoms first to see if it's a sinus infection. Another symptom you may have is a sinus headache. Often people will get a sinus headache before they realize they have a sinus infection. The headache can often be confused with a migraine. One should attempt to stop this headache as soon as possible to avoid it getting a grip on you.

[list][*]Most sinus infections are actually fungal infections so antibiotics will do nothing to help them.[*]Home treatments of sinus infections for sinus relief are much better.[/list]

[size=large][b]Lot of Fluid Moves Through the Sinus Cavities Every Day[/b][/size][hr]When sinus blockage happens, the natural mucous hardens and fluid will drain down into the throat. Antihistamines will dry out and harden the mucous so they're generally not a good idea, but check with your doctor if you take them for another reason. As the information we produce in our writing on Sinus Infection Treatment may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

One of the first signs or symptoms of a sinus infection is an irritated throat. You may think you're getting a sore throat. There is one easy way to tell if it's a sinus infection, sinusitis or some other sinus problem. Writing is something that has to be done when one is in the mood to write. So when we got in the mood to write about Sinus Infection, nothing could stop us from writing! Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Another Symptom of Sinusitis is Pain or Pressure Around the Eyes or Forehead[/b][/size][hr]If you bend over it will hurt or throb. A sure sign of a sinus infection will be a yellowish nasal discharge. It can also be greenish but if it's yellow you can pretty well bet that it's a sinus infection. This mucous will drain down your throat and irritate it and you may not be aware of it. It can cause an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach.

[size=large][b]Normally, the Sinuses are Self Cleaning[/b][/size][hr]Once something interferes with this natural process,the system loses the ability to remove bacteria and pollutants due to thickening of the mucus and blockages of the nasal passages. Normal sinus mucus works in conjunction with tiny hairlike structures called cilia to sweep bacteria and other pollutants from the nasal cavities. Once the cilia become hampered by stagnant and dried mucus they can no longer remove debris.

[list][*]The neti pot can be a useful tool in helping you manage bacterial sinusitis and in keeping your sinuses functioning normally.[*]Make the nasal irrigation process a part of your daily hygiene routine and start working to maintain better sinus health.[*]We needed lots of concentration while writing on Neti Pot as the matter we had collected was very specific and important. Wink[/list]

The neti pot can be used up to four times daily and especially after you know you have been exposed to pollutants and allergens that you know can or will cause you problems. A variety of neti pot salt products are available to perform the irrigation process. Nasal rinse additives are also available that use a variety of herbal or mineral mixtures. Neti pot salt is available in different strengths to offer a variety to users. Stronger mixtures tend to produce extra mucus during the rinse process which can help dislodge mucus deposits. The magnitude of information available on Sinus Problems can be found out by reading the following matter on Sinus Problems. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

[size=large][b]There is Hope for Those Who Have Become a Victim to this Condition[/b][/size][hr]A small teapot shaped vessel called a neti pot can be used to help augment the body's own cleaning actions and flush out bacteria and irrigate and moisten the sinuses. The neti pot uses a saline mixture to perform the sinus cleaning process. The process of washing your sinuses with a neti pot is called nasal irrigation. This process can help keep the mucus from drying and thickening. By removing stagnant and dried mucus you are helping to eliminate the conditions that leave you vulnerable to bacterial infections.

[list][*]Nasal irrigation should be a part of your everyday hygiene routine, especially if you are plagued by chronic sinus problems.[*]Keeping the sinuses clean and free of pollutants can prevent the recurring problems associated with a breakdown of the natural cleaning ability.[*]Healthy sinuses mean more that just being disease free...healthy sinuses can prevent disease by essentially doing their job.[*]Writing this composition on Neti Pot was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature.[*]Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.[/list]

Sinus headache symptoms are so common that many people just shorten the phrase to "I have sinus." This can encompass anything from pain around the eyes and nose to runny nose, nasal congestion, watery eyes, sore throat, fever, chills and fatigue. The problem arises when the person has allergies and perhaps even migraine headaches. Then the situation is really muddled! Which is it: sinus infections, sinusitis or migraine?

[list][*]Sinusitis is a term for inflammation of the lining of the sinuses and usually is caused by an allergic reaction of some sort.[*]Common culprits are seasonal pollens, such as grass and ragweed, in addition to dust mites and pet dander.[*]Sinusitis can also be caused by colds (viral), impaired immune systems, and even structural abnormalities of the nose and sinuses. [*]Risk factors for sinusitis and therefore sinus headaches also include asthma, and chronic pulmonary (lung) problems such as cystic fibrosis.[*]So what about the migraine debate?[*]How in the world can you tell the difference and know if it is a migraine?[*]Since 40% of all migraines start around the nose and eye it can be a bit confusing.[*]This is made worse by the fact that pseudofed products will treat the nasal congestion that comes with migraine and relieve the headache a bit.[*]But over the long term this is not a good idea as it can increase blood pressure.[/list]

[size=large][b]Here is How You Might be Able to Tell the Difference[/b][/size][hr]Let's start with sinus infections. This usually is an acute infection of the sinuses with fever, chills and yellow or green discharge from the nose. There is pain in the sinuses over the eyes, beneath the eyes and may even extend to pain in the upper teeth. The pain is constant and somewhat throbbing and usually worsens with bending over. When the discharge is colored then the infection is most probably bacterial but rarely it may be fungal.

[size=medium][b]Fungal Sinus Infection Symptoms Fungal Sinusitis Symptoms can Vary[/b][/size]


Quote:Migraines usually are accompanied by light sensitivity unlike the sinus problems. Another clue is the need to lie down in a quiet dark room and not move around. Many times a migraine is only on one side of the head but sometimes it can be both. The specific medications used to treat migraines, such as triptans will not have an effect on a true sinusitis or sinus infection so that too can help diagnose the headache. Wink

[list][*]Another way to differentiate between the migraines and sinus headaches is through a CT of the sinuses or an MRI.[*]If the results show clear sinuses, then the headaches are most probably migraines.[/list]

Most of the medicines, which are used for sinus, related problems have their own side effects like adversely impacting on mental alertness, rise in blood pressure, increased heart rate, loss of sleep etc. Persistent use of medicines can also lead to thinning of bones, cataract and diabetes. So home remedies for sinus problems should be preferred over medicines till they succeed in lessening the discomfort.

The one very important thing which people over look while going for home remedies for sinus problems is that they do not raise their head while sleeping. While taking rest or sleeping. One should use more than one pillow or should readjust the bedposts. A raised head leads to easy draining of nose and makes breathing easier. If the head is not raised then it makes mucus to pool inside the head. So one should not over look this precaution. The sources used for the information for this article on Sinus Pain are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.

There are home remedies for sinus problems to replace decongestants like menthol as well. For example sniffing an onion produces the same kind of stimulation because of irritation as is produced by menthol etc. and makes the nose to run. To clear a stuffed nose all that one needs to do is to make it run. So it is also advisable to take a lot of spicy stuff. A hot or spicy food makes our body to produce some reflex action like making the nose to run. It was with great relief we ended writing on Sinusitis. There was just too much information to write, that we were starting to lose hopes on it's completion!

[list][*]The most popular among the home remedies for sinus problem is inhaling steam from a pot of hot water or vaporizer.[*]This soothes the inflamed sinus cavities.[*]Salt-based nasal sprays produce a similar effect.[*]Such a spray can be prepared with ' teaspoon each of salt and baking soda in eight to ten ounces of water.[*]This solution can be applied to the nostrils either with a small atomizer or a nose dropper.[*]Taking any hot liquid like soup is also one of the most common home remedies for sinus problems.[*]The steam from the hot liquid helps in unclogging the nasal passages.[*]The liquid dilutes the mucus in the nose and makes breathing a lot easier.[*]Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinusitis Infection.[*]Such is the amount of matter found on Sinusitis Infection.[*]Sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses or cavities near the bone of the nose.[*]This inflammation leads to the trapping of mucus in the sinus and the nasal membrane.[*]Thus, a tremendous pressure is exerted on the sinus walls causing pain and physical discomfort.[*]How to treat sinus infection needs to be discussed in detail.[/list]

All in all, how to treat sinus infection is a question that has multiple answers to it but only one thing, i.e prevention, is the most effective treatment against sinus infection! It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only required information on Sinusitis Inflammation.

Daily intake of vitamin C acts as a preventive measure against the pain caused by sinus. Staying away from pollutants that can cause sinus allergy also acts as a deterrent. In the same light, protecting oneself against cold is also a measure to treat sinus infection as cold can aggravate the sinusitis.

[size=large][b]Treatment of Sinus Infections Differ According to the Type of Infection[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infections can be classified into three categories, depending on the duration of occurrence, namely - acute infection (lasting up to three weeks); chronic infection (lasting 3-8 weeks, or even more); and recurring infection which refers to the frequent sinus attacks in the duration of one year. We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Treating Sinus Infections. We just went on writing and writing to give a long article.

Other remedies include eating jalape'o peppers, intake of ripe grapes' juice, application of a paste of cinnamon with water or dry ginger with water etc. But, while on one hand, these home remedies can help in reducing the pain and discomfort, on the other, these can not cure the infection. We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on Sinusitis through to you. All the matter here is genuine and to the point.

[size=large][b]To Treat Sinus Infection, Some Home Remedies can Also Prove Beneficial[/b][/size][hr]These home remedies range from inhaling steam from a vaporizer to keeping the body hydrated by drinking hot tea and other hot liquids. However, coffee is not that effective in reducing pain, though it is warm, as it contains caffeine. Wink

Cleanliness, perfection, and fragrance are the embodiment of a modern, civilized person. Bad breath ' or halitosis, in medical terminology ' can hinder that image you are trying to project. Not only that, but it can also seriously hamper you from forming social relations with other individuals as you might be too embarrassed to talk to anyone or others are turned off by the offensive odor.

[size=large][b]How Sinus Drainage Bad Breath Occurs[/b][/size][hr]Whenever a person gets sinusitis, the mucus lining of the sinuses become irritated and start to produce excessive amounts of mucus. A normal person regularly produces mucus to keep the nasal passages clean and clear. However, when these mucus linings are irritated, they go on overdrive and produce too much mucus, causing a common sinusitis symptom called postnasal drip, which in turn could lead to sinus drainage bad breath. Patience was exercised in this article on Sinuses. Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinuses.

[size=large][b]How to Solve this Problem?[/b][/size][hr]Well, the only way to really solve this problem is to identify the cause. There are many possible causes of bad breath from the foods that you eat to improper oral hygiene (or lack thereof) and certain underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, periodontal disease (gum disease), among others. We have actually followed a certain pattern while writing on Sinus Drainage. We have used simple words and sentences to facilitate easy understanding for the reader.

Furthermore, the infection causing sinusitis may also cause inflammation of the nasal passages. These nasal passages connect with the nose through your sinuses to let air into the lungs. When these nasal passages are inflamed, the channel is narrowed as a result of congestion, thus adding to the whole problem by blocking the normal drainage of mucus. As a result, the mucus gets trapped within these nasal passages and starts to attract bacteria, which thrive on dark, damp places. Penetration into the world of Sinusitis Mucus proved to be our idea in this article. Read the article and see if we have succeeded in this or not!

[size=large][b]What is Sinus Drainage Bad Breath?[/b][/size][hr]Sinus drainage bad breath is little more than a symptom of sinusitis, a condition where in the sinuses become infected or inflamed. It can be due to a viral infection, as in the case of colds, or to allergens, as in the case of allergies. Sometimes, sinusitis may even be related to asthma attacks. Whatever the cause, sinusitis more often than not leads to sinus drainage bad breath. We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on Symptom Sinusitis. There is still a lot more to be learnt!

[list][*]But perhaps second only to foods and hygiene, the most common factor associated with bad breath is the sinus drainage.[*]Experts say that 85 to 90 % of people with bad breath have this stench coming from their mouths.[*]Rarely do you see cases where bad breath comes out of the nose.[*]When they do, this condition is actually caused by sinus drainage bad breath.[/list]
