Chronic sinusitis treatment available online today

Some common causes of chronic sinusitis are listed below.

• Allergies or asthma: Asthma or allergies can cause inflammation and block sinuses.

• Underlying medical conditions: Cystic fibrosis and diseases that weaken the the immune system, e.g., HIV, can lead to nasal blockage.

• Nasal polyps: Abnormal growths in the nasal passages can caused blocked sinuses.

• Deviated nasal septum: The wall between the nostrils, i.e., nasal septum, can become deviated. The deviated septum can restrict air flow in one of the nostrils, causing blocked sinus.

• Respiratory infections: Bacterial infections, viral infections, or fungal infections can cause swelling and block mucus drainage.

Symptoms of chronic sinusitis may include:

• Congested nose / nasal inflammation

• Facial pressure or pain

• Postnasal drip

• Thick yellow or green discharge from nose

• Pain in other parts of the face, such as the ear, head and/or tooth

• Infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, or fungal)

• Allergens

• Underlying medical conditions, including cystic fibrosis and diseases that weaken the the immune system, e.g., HIV, which can lead to nasal blockage

• Nasal polyps, which are abnormal growths in the nasal passages can caused blocked sinus

Sinusitis generally refers to the condition in which the sinuses are infected and become inflamed and swollen. There are different types of sinusitis: acute, subacute, chronic, and recurrent. Acute sinusitis last only a few days and can go away on its own with little to no treatment. In recurrent sinusitis, a patient suffers episodes of sinusitis, remaining symptom-free between the episodes.

The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Several known cold viruses can cause inflammation of the membranes that line the nose and throat. During the common cold, the virus can infect the sinuses and cause inflammation in the sinus membranes - viral sinusitis. When sinusitis is caused by a bacterial infection, it is known as bacterial sinusitis.

Migraine headaches are neurological disorders with different symptoms. Common symptoms may include:

• Moderate to severe headaches

• One-sided or double-sided pain

• Nausea and/or vomiting

• Sensitivity to light and noise

• Episodes lasting for hours to days

Sinus headaches are due to sinus infections. The sinus infection causes inflammation, swelling and congestion in the sinuses. Sinus headaches can often be confused with migraines.
