[size=4][b]Sinusitis Post Nasal Drip - Sinus Pressure - the Allergy Connection[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:How many times have you heard somebody say: "I think I'm coming down with a cold."? No doubt many times. In reality, the majority of us have'stated that'or made'a similar statement, ourselves. Now a days when somebody I know tells me that I normally respond: "Could it be allergic reactions?" Because many of those "colds" are probably allergic reaction reactions to the environment. As I recall to my childhood the first days can not, but doubt the strong possibility that those tablespoons of cod liver oil my mother consistently administered-- in their full natural taste, as typically carried out in those days-- to prevent my getting a "cold," although not a bad concept'were probably unneeded considering that'my frequent runny nose, coughing and'post nasal drip'were most likely 'cause d by allergens.'Even, possibly, by'the thick smog'that'had actually developed in the large city I matured in.

Several years went by and we moved further North where carpets are more frequently used than in the Southwest and I began to as soon as again have "cold" symptoms. At least that's exactly what we thought in the beginning. Because I was hardly using cow's milk and had resumed the allergy injections my wife'and I wondered, what might the cause of'the post nasal drip, and so on,'be this time. So I returned to an allergic reaction specialist in our new location.'After doing some testing'he discovered'I was extremely allergic to house dust.'In the process of being offered the allergy tests I found that not all home dust'is'produced equivalent. Sinuses congestion large quantities of allergen droppings. This sort of'mites grow in a damp and warm environment, like the one produced by the human body while depending on bed,'where the mites'eat mainly tiny particles of human skin that rubs off there and on the carpet. The tests'did show'I was extremely allergic to that type of house dust. Thereupon I was provided minute guidelines by my medical professional'on how to shield my bed'from the'little varmints and their'droppings. The terrible allergic results I was having'began to go away, specifically when to my allergy injections was added the dust mite droppings antigen. Often, what we hear about Sinus Issue can prove to be rather funny and illogical. This is why we have actually presented this side of Sinus Issue to you.

[size=large][b]There can Definitely be an Allergy Connection to'sinus Pressure and Other Sinus Problems[/b][/size][hr]My case is not special. If one is experiencing ongoing sinus issues it might not be a bad idea to think about screening for allergies to the environment and possibly foods, especially if your health insurance covers these tests. There is a great deal of jargon connected with Sinus Pressure. Nevertheless, we have eliminated the hard ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

Then came spring time and as weeds and their flowers, and trees and their own flowers made their appearance when again in our location, the same allergy I had actually needed to the foods currently pointed out, above,'started to come back, except that' I wasn't utilizing them. So, it ended up being obvious that I disliked specific pollens and probably other irritants. I had pollen allergic reaction tests made and sure enough there were a variety of pollens I was very allergic to. With these outcomes on hand the only alternative I had was:'transfer to a place where there were not pollens I was allergic to-- probably something rather impossible-- or start to receive allergic reaction injections on a regular basis. I went with the latter.

[size=4][b]Sinus Infection - can Yeast Infection be Caused by Antibiotics?[/b][/size][hr]Yeast infection is one of the most common health problems. It can happen to all range of population including men, women, children or even babies. Yeast Infection, however, is found to be more annoying in women, since it causes rash and itch in the vaginal area. Many people may have interest to know if there is an involvement in using antibiotics and the occurrence of yeast infection. This article will talk about the relationship between antibiotics and yeast infection. Smile

[list][*]Antibiotics and yeast infection are related.[*]This article reveals what are the relation and how you can use this knowledge to apply to your life.[*]When you take antibiotics for example to treat the sore throat or sinus infection, the antibiotics you take can disturb your body system.[*]Do you notice that when you have that, you get the softer stools when you go to the bathroom?[*]Some even got the mild diarrhea due to the taking of antibiotics.[*]This is because the antibiotics disturb the condition in your bowel.[*]They kill some of the germs, which is called "normal flora" when the body is normal, in the bowel.[*]And that makes some of the germs grow faster and cause you the diarrhea.[*]In medical study, this is the mild site effect that you could have when taking antibiotics.[*]It is acceptable if the symptom do not go beyond what the patient can bear.[*]We have not included any imaginary or false information on Sinus here.[*]Everything here is true and up to the mark![/list]

[size=large][b]Yeast Infection can be Caused by the Same Scenario[/b][/size][hr]When you take antibiotic to cure your sinusitis, sinus infection, it kills unwanted bacteria in your sinus. However, it also kills the good bacteria in your vagina. This upsets the balance of vaginal ecological system. The condition allows yeast to take over the area. This causes the yeast infection in the vagina. Therefore, antibiotics can cause yeast infection to a certain person. But not every person will have the condition. Some people are more tolerant than the others. And not every type of antibiotics can cause yeast infection problem. This again depends on the person. Some get it every time they take antibiotics and others don't. Some people get it by just using antibacterial deodorant soap. This applies to the same principle.

Quote:[list][*]When there is an inflammation of the cavities around the bone of the nose the condition is called Sinusitis or sinus infection disease.[*]Blockage in the nasal passage results in the trapping of mucus in the nasal passage.[*]The sinus walls feel tremendous pressure causing pain and discomfort.[*]The treatments may vary depending upon the cause of the sinus infection.[*]From the symptoms it is possible to decide about the appropriate treatment to provide relief and also prevent recurrence. [/list]

Nasal steroid sprays and oral steroids in severe cases work well in fighting the sinus infection disease.Nasal saline, decongestants and mucus-thinnersAntibiotics should be taken for a full course of 14 days. Longer course may be needed in chronic cases.If nothing of the above works in alleviating sinus infection disease Endoscopic Sinus surgery is recommended. Maintaining the value of Sinus was the main reason for writing this article. Only in this way will the future know more about Sinus.

[size=large][b]Causes of Sinus Infection Disease[/b][/size][hr]Allergies may cause inflammation and block the nasal passages obstructing the drainage of mucus. Growth of tissues called nasal polyps may restrict the nasal channels. The wall between the nostrils called septum when deviated may block the sinus passage. Conditions like cystic fibrosis, HIV are other causes.

[size=large][b]Home Remedies[/b][/size][hr]There are plenty of proven home remedies to get rid of mild sinus infection disease and the early stage of sinusitis. Steaming the sinus cavities has been found very effective in numerous cases providing relief from blockage. Mentholated preparation can be added to aid the opening of the clogged passage ways. You can inhale steam using lemon or peppermint leaves from a bowl of hot water draping a towel around your head. Taking a hot shower and breathing the warm and moist air can help in diluting the mucus. Fomentation with a hot damp towel around the sinus areas can also relieve facial pain. Drinking lots of hot tea or beverages helps in diluting the mucus secretions. Avoiding alcohol can help in reducing the swelling in the nasal areas. Give yourself a momentary pause while reading what there is to read here on Sinusitis. Use this pause to reflect on what you have so far written on Sinusitis.

[list][*]Stay in environments devoid of allergens and pollutants.[*]Drinking plenty of water and hot fluids provides some relief in irrigating the nasal passages.[*]Taking Vitamin C daily can also help. [/list]

[size=large][b]Am Worn Out[/b][/size][hr]I'm not worth much today. I cannot seem to get it together. This spot on my sinus is hurting again and I cannot breathe through my nostril. The smell of her perfume is getting to me. Wow, I sure could use a break from these fluorescent lights. Now my sinuses are throbbing. Finally, it's time to go home. I know it's dinner time, but I really don't feel like eating. I wonder if I will need to go to the doctor again and take another round of antibiotics. I hate that, because I always have to treat the yeast infection that follows.'

Regrettably this presentation of migraine usually receives a prescription of antibiotics rather than appropriate care. Just as bad, the patient gives up on seeking medical care and resorts to self-medicating which can lead to complications, such as, rebound headaches or chronic daily headaches. Proper diagnosis is essential to beginning appropriate care. Unfortunately many patients have even had multiple sinus surgeries without success. I am pleased to report that the efforts of headache experts are starting to be realized. I have found ENT surgeons in my area of the country are now more aware of migraines presentations and are more alert to recommend their patients to receive appropriate care.

[size=large][b]This Person Falls Into the Migraine Syndrome Profile[/b][/size][hr]Let me explain what I mean by the migraine syndrome. It is the outward expression of the body's sensitivity to light, sound, smell, food, and/or stress. Some people are more sensitive than others; therefore, their reactions to different stimuli are greater. This sensitivity can be manifested in the body as migraines, sinus headaches, neck aches, palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, motion sickness or vertigo, reactive hypoglycemia, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), panic attacks, and/or fibromyalgia. Now that's a mouthful! Understanding what is going on with you is very important in the healing process.

While in Europe recently, I found that I didn't need to use nasal irrigation to prevent nasal congestion. I did bring along a travel WaterPik device which I often use for this purpose when away from home, but I didn't feel the need to use it even once for the entire month we were gone. I attribute this to the higher humidity levels in Europe compared to those in Colorado where we live.

[size=large][b]According to Dr[/b][/size][hr]Robert Ivker, D.O., former President of the American Holistic Medical Association, the ideal level of relative humidity for sinus health is between 35-45%. I noticed in one of the hotels we stayed at in France that the humidity was in the low 70% range, and I'm sure it was at least that high at other times as well during the month. For whatever reason, this level of humidity seems to work better for my particular nasal congestion problems, and I have noticed before the general tendency of having fewer sinus problems while in Europe. We travel there fairly often as we operate tours in France. Dr. Ivker prefers to use a warm mist room humidifier which requires no filters and kills bacteria. He claims to have had good luck with Bionaire Clear Mist units.

Normally use nasal irrigation with a saline solution once or twice per day. It would be unthinkable to go for a month in Colorado without doing this. I would almost certainly come down with a sinus infection during this length of time, even while continuing to take my normal medication.

The device I purchased was an inexpensive combination thermometer and humidity gauge. It was only about $4, but one can find digital devices with more functionality in the $20-40 range in stores like Kmart or Walmart. I would strongly recommend that people who suffer from chronic sinusitis make this small investment and keep a device to measure relative humidity in their sleep and also possibly their work environments. This simple item can be a significant tool in the regimen of all sinus sufferers to help prevent nasal congestion, especially while sleeping. Nasal Irrigation came into being some time back. However, would you believe that there are some people who still don't know what a Nasal Irrigation is? Big Grin.

Upon returning from this latest trip I decided to purchase an inexpensive humidity gauge and put it in our bedroom to deep a closer eye on the actual levels in our sleeping environment. Right now the levels are in the 50% range, which is pretty good. We live at over 7,000 feet of elevation, and we have several windows open at night at this time of year to cool off the room. During most of the year we do use a humidifier, especially in the winter months. When the furnace is on the humidity drops quite a bit, and I will now be able to monitor the levels and make better use of a humidifier with the humidity gauge. Air conditioning will also dry out the air in a room or in an automobile, so keeping close watch of this is important for people like me who continually battle nasal congestion problems. Smile

[list][*]Many a times the person suffering from a cold and running nose need not be suffering from sinus infection but it could also be due to allergies.[*]At times, it can be very hard to detect if sinusitis is due to allergy or an infection.[/list]

Allergies there is a clear nasal discharge accompanied with sneezing. There will itchy sensation on the nose, dry cough, and watery eyes. Rubbing the itchy nose many a times with hand leaves a mark known as the "allergic salute". Sometimes dark circles under the eye are also common symptoms that point to the fact that it is an allergy. If the cold come around the same time every year then it is more likely an allergy. Many a time the status of the cold changes with a change in environment, it can become better or worse, like moving in from out, change of place, home or work place etc. It has been seen that chronic infection does not cause fever but an inflammation from allergy can cause fever. If one or more courses of antibiotics do not treat the predicament, then allergy is much more likely. Coexisting with people, having asthma or eczema, one will likely get the allergy. As long as the trigger is present in the environment, the allergic reaction will continue. People with allergies have hypersensitive mast cells that sound the alert in response to relatively harmless particles such as pollen and dust. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Nasal Polyps to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Nasal Polyps will enjoy this article.

The inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses is called Sinusitis. Generally, sinuses are packed with air, but when sinuses are blocked and crammed with fluid; germs like bacteria, viruses, and fungi can breed and result in an infection. A sinus infection always begins with a cold and last for more than 10 to 14 days. Sometimes the person can suffer from fever, facial pain, or facial swellings. In sinus infection, the mucus discharge is much thicker and darker in color. Sinus can be due the common cold, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum, which is actually a change in the nasal cavity.

[list][*]The modern world is still premature when talking about sinusitis treatment.[*]There are always pain relievers and soothing symptoms.[*]This infection can be acquired by anybody, sinusitis is considered as a common health problem. :o[/list]

[size=large][b]Acute Sinusitis Infections Need Longer Treatment[/b][/size][hr]You can use antibiotics to fight against the infections. Alternatively, there are also therapies like saline nasal rinse. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Sinuses as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection is Always a Nuisance to Everybody[/b][/size][hr]Sinusitis is caused due to an infected sinus or cavities which is present on the bones close to the nose. Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Acute Sinusitis Acute Sinusitis. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English. Wink

The modern world, there is still no cure for infections; a remedy is still far from reality, although, we can have treatment for the symptoms that accompany this infection. Taking medications can relieve discomforts such as nasal blockage, runny nose, headaches, eyelid swelling, and pain in the jaw area. The magnitude of information available on Sinus Infection can be found out by reading the following matter on Sinus Infection. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

Antihistamines can also help relief symptoms and may treat an infected sinus. There are also mucolytics, and lastly corticosteroids. There are also other natural ways to relieve your aching sinuses, but having to use the above mentioned treatments prove to be better. Writing this composition on Sinusitis Acute Sinusitis was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

[list][*]Sinus or a hollow space in your skull has a small opening which allows the exchange of air and mucus.[*]There are 2 sinuses, joined by a mucous membrane lining.[*]If you have an infection like asthma, the lining becomes engorged; this causes the mucus and air to be partially blocked inside.[*]Maintaining the value of Sinus Infection was the main reason for writing this article.[*]Only in this way will the future know more about Sinus Infection. [/list]

When blocked, they can make the pressure inside rise, resulting in severe discomfort and pain. Worldwide, there are millions of people suffering of sinusitis right now; some dedicated organizations are also spending millions to fund sinusitis research.
