As a result, you could say that a sinus infection is another cause of a sinus headache. Additionally, changes in atmospheric pressure can also cause these headaches and can include air travel, climbing at high altitudes or even diving or swimming in deep water. Very often, your headache is a sign of other medical issues to come like a sinus infection. Thus you may also experience general fatigue; a sore throat caused by post nasal drip, green or yellow nasal discharge or even nasal congestion.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections are No Doubt One of the Most Commonly Reported Disorders in the U.S[/b][/size][hr]Today though many people suffer silently. Sinus problems are diagnosed on the basis of the patient's history, physical examination, and outward signs and symptoms. Painful sinus headaches affect about five out of ten adults in the U.S. Many people are not aware that their headaches may be the result of a blockage.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection Symptoms are Often Confused With Cold Symptoms or Mimic Them[/b][/size][hr]These infections are one of the most common health complaints. If your sinus cavities become blocked and drainage is backed up then it is likely that they can become infected; usually mucous and debris drains out of the sinuses and into the nose or throat. Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Allergy Sufferers in Particular Suffer from Acute and Chronic Sinus Infections[/b][/size][hr]Air that is dry is irritating, which increases the chance of infection. Dry air inside homes from electric furnaces or hot air heat and houses that are closed up in the winter closing in a lot of dust, dust mites, smoke or other particles in the air, also can help cause sinus infections. Antihistamines should not be taken for sinus problems because they harden the mucous even more. It was our decision to write so much on Sinus Surgery after finding out that there is still so much to learn on Sinus Surgery.

[list][*]You can check for any soreness over the sinus cavities by gently pressing on the cheeks and forehead.[*]Although frontal and top of the head headaches will let you know there is something going on.[*]It may take some time to comprehend the matter on Chronic Sinus Infections that we have listed here.[*]However, it is only through it's complete comprehension would you get the right picture of Chronic Sinus Infections.[/list]

[size=large][b]For Years Doctors Prescribed Antibiotics that Didn't Work[/b][/size][hr]Recent research discovered that the majority of sinus infections are caused by fungi. A British study reported that sinus infections are not cured by the antibiotics and other medications and drugs that are usually prescribed. Because of the sinuses' poor blood supply only a tiny amount of antibiotics, if any, would ever reach the cavities.

Sinus surgery has not worked for many people and is not generally recommended today. If you are suffering from an infection now or have chronic or acute sinus infections, it's good to know there is something you can do to get rid of them forever.

[size=4][b]Acute Sinusitis - the Real Sinus Headache[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Sinusitis is the condition of having one's sinuses inflamed. Sinus inflammation may be a result of but not limited to bacterial or viral infections or allergic reactions.

[size=large][b]First, One Needs to be Properly Diagnosed for Illness Specific Medication Treatment[/b][/size][hr]It can be quite frustrating to be taking sinus medication to treat sinus headache symptoms when in fact; the headache is cause by a migraine. We have taken the privilege of proclaiming this article to be a very informative and interesting article on Sinus Inflammation. We now give you the liberty to proclaim it too.

Severe rare cases, one may also experience ear aches, neck and top of the head pains as part of the sinusitis headache symptoms. It is important to take note of all the symptoms of sinusitis because a lot of individuals only think that they have sinus headaches when in fact, they are actually suffering from migraines instead. This article on Sinus Headache was written with the intention of making it very memorable to its reader. Only then is an article considered to have reached it's objective.

Furthermore, aside from sinus headaches and other symptoms already mentioned here, sinusitis could trigger fever and cough. The cough can sometimes be a result of a post nasal drip from the draining of the sinuses that irritate the upper windpipe which causes it to be sore and encourages us to cough as a result. Sinusitis is also always accompanied by general weakness and tired feeling. It is not necessary that only the learned can write about Symptom Sinusitis. As long as one ahs a flair for writing, and an interest for gaining information on Symptom Sinusitis, anyone can write about it.

With this said, one must never take the sinus headache symptoms for granted and haphazardly assume that it is a migraine. In some rare instances of complications, sinus headache symptoms may be a signal of acute sinusitis, which results in brain infection.It is therefore very important to get the proper diagnosis and treatment whatever the cause of the headache. Quality is better than quantity. It is of no use writing numerous pages of nonsense for the reader. Instead, it is better to write a short, and informative article on specific subjects like Sinuses. People tend to enjoy it more.

Symptoms of sinusitis include a sinus headache that may affect several parts of the head including the face, jaws and teeth. During a sinusitis attack, the sinus headache may be localized to one or two pairs of inflamed sinuses but in severe cases, all sinuses are swollen and therefore cause a sinus headache that can be felt in the forehead between the eyebrows, upper jaw and teeth along with tender cheeks and face, the sides of the nose. We have used clear and concise words in this article on Symptom Sinusitis to avoid any misunderstandings and confusions that can be caused due to difficult words.

[i]While it is true that up to 97% of individuals who think they suffer from sinusitis headache symptoms are mistaken because they are actually suffering from migraine, it is very important to make the correct distinction between the two.[/i]

The symptoms are quite clear: it all starts with a constant throbbing pain in the side of the face and sometimes the eye; sometimes nasal congestion is also one of the symptoms of the condition and fever too. These symptoms can all lead to sinus headaches that are quite severe in nature.

[size=large][b]Frontal Sinuses[/b][/size][hr]These can be found over the eyes and an infection that occurs here will result in forehead pain. Ethmoid Sinuses. These can be found in the deep recesses of the nose and any pain caused here will circulate between and behind the eyes. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinuses. Such is the amount of matter found on Sinuses.

[list][*]Sphenoid Sinuses.These are the deepest of the sinuses they often cause severe pain in the back of the head whenever an infection occurs here.[*]This is the least common of all sinus infections. [/list]

The face has four different pairs of sinuses, and when one or another of these pairs of sinuses develop an infection then different types of symptoms which may be symptoms of a sinus headache result. These sinus areas are listed as follows.

[list][*]Real sinus headache is actually caused by a rather serious infection that often leads to the blockage of all the sinus ducts.[*]This tends to prevent normal drainage which also causes a negative pressure right within the sinuses.[*]What results is that a person tends to feel the symptoms such as a dull ache and fullness experienced in the face and the head as well.[*]This pain may also transcend to other areas such as the area behind the eyes as well as areas such as the back of the head and the teeth as well.[*]As they are often caused by infections, real sinus headaches tend to be followed by fever and other symptoms of the flu.[*]This can be considered to be a valuable article on Sinus.[*]It is because there is so much to learn about Sinus here. Wink[/list]

Maxillary Sinuses.These sinuses are usually found in the middle third area of the face, the pain of an infection of these sinuses is usually experienced across the face and below the eyes in the area next to the nose. Most people who suffer from sinus headaches are usually experiencing headaches caused by an infection of these sinuses. The sources used for the information for this article on Sinus Disease are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.

Most sinus headaches tend to occur when a person has a bad cold, has allergies of suffers from the flu. A sinus headache may also be something else, such as the symptom of a much more severe sinus disease or a sign that something may be blocking the sinus ducts and which may lead to the reoccurrence of sinus infections. It must always be diagnosed and treated by a doctor or physician.

Is believed that, among the health problems that can make a person be subjected to the most uncomfortable and annoying living situations is the sinusitis infection.This infection usually occurs when there is an inflammation of human sinuses present in the body. When this occurs,the surface tissues of these sinuses swell up and make it hard for air to pass to the sinus cavities.This situation forces you to breathe with difficulty,experience nasal congestion, have headaches accompanied by fever at times and when the infection gets more serious, you will at times not be able to smell anything that has a smell or odor.

[size=large][b]However, All These Problems can Easily be Cured Using Sinusitis Treatments[/b][/size][hr]One form of these treatments is the use of medicines prescribed by your doctor. This approach requires the patient to be diagnosed first so as to find exactly what caused the infection. After establishing the cause, the doctor can now prescribe the appropriate medication for you.

[size=large][b]Antibiotics are the Favorites Among Doctors When Treating Their Patients[/b][/size][hr]These include the Amoxillins which are seen to be the best treatment for bacterial infection. Just like any type of antibiotics, amoxillins are known to destroy the outer cell structures of the bacteria hence killing them in the process.Once the bacteria are dead, the infection can stop from spreading and instead get cured. Amoxillins can be purchased over from a drug store nearby when needed though they are to be taken according to the doctor's instructions.

Nasal sprays are also medicines used to treat sinusitis.These sprays work by making any swollen tissue in the respiratory tract due to a sinus inflammation to shrink and allow inhaled air to reach the sinus cavities without much hindrance. When air is allowed to pass to the sinus cavities, it carries with it oxygen which in turn make survival conditions for the bacteria to be very slim. The reason for saying this is that, since many infectious bacteria are anaerobes, (organisms that die when subjected to oxygen) the oxygen in the inhaled air will react with them and eventually killing them and in the process treating sinusitis.Commonly used nasal sprays are Neosynephrine and Afrin which can also be bought from any pharmacy near you. Nasal sprays should however be used only for days indicated by the doctor because when used frequently, the patient is likely to have a rebound on the sprays and the swelling may ultimately return. :o.

Don't take nasal infection for granted by allergic reactions in the body,antihistamines are among the best sinusitis treatments for you.These medicines help fight against the work of histamine surrounding the sinus surface tissues. Histamine is a body compound produced after allergic reactions in the body have taken place. This compound has the ability to cause harmful effects when it comes into contact with body tissues. Therefore, when it is around sinuses, it usually inflames the sinus lining hence making it to swell.Antihistamines can also be purchased from licensed medicine distributors and are to be used as prescribed by your physician. However, although antihistamines help treat sinus infections,they come with them some effects of drowsiness and it is usually highly advisable not to drive while under the influence of these medicines. Frequently used antihistamines are Clarinex, Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec.

Another type of treatment that is believed to be among the best sinusitis treatments is surgery. This treatment is most of the time used by doctors to remove or correct internal structural abnormalities found in the respiratory tract that may cause sinusitis to occur. One common surgical procedure used to treat patients is the Functional endoscopic sinus surgery. This surgery allows an endoscope to be inserted inside the nose in order to assist the surgeons with visualization while operating on you. With proper visualization being established, the surgeons therefore do less removal of normal functional structures. For children, swollen adenoids are usually the main respiratory tract structures targeted to be taken out so that free flow of air can be achieved and in adults, polyps (little growths that grow in the respiratory tract) are the ones that are often removed. Among all sinusitis treatments, surgery may appear to be the most expensive and dangerous approach to be undertaken but once it is successfully done, the sinus infection may have been treated for the last time.

[size=large][b]Many People Suffer from Sinusitis Every Year[/b][/size][hr]The sinuses are cavities in the skull which are used to make the skull lighter, give room for the skull to grow, and to cool down the inhaled air. There are four types of sinuses in humans which include the maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal sinuses. The maxillary sinus cavity is located below the eye and to the side of the nose below the cheeks. The ethmoid sinus and the sphenoid sinus are some of the most functional sinuses and are located between the eyes and under the nose. The frontal sinus cavity is located in the middle of the forehead.

[size=large][b]The Sinuses can Cause Many Problems[/b][/size][hr]The most common problem is a sinusitis infection. A sinusitis infection is caused by a blockage of bacteria and mucus in the sinus cavities. The blockage begins usually with a cold or allergy. The sinus cavity lining becomes swollen when a cold or allergy exists. When bacteria get into the sinus cavities, they attack the swollen lining which then causes greater inflammation. The cilia, which are tiny hairs in the sinuses, are used to flush out bacteria and mucus. When the inflammation from the bacteria occurs, the cilia can no longer flush out the bacteria and mucus therefore it becomes trapped and the sinusitis infection begins. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Sinusitis Therapy. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Sinusitis Therapy.

[size=large][b]There are Many Forms of Treatment for a Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Nasal sprays are one common treatment. Nasal sprays work by distributing saline solution up into the sinus cavities. Nasal sprays are meant to moisten the cilia so that the trapped bacteria and mucus can be washed out. The problem with nasal sprays however is that they have large particle sizes that cannot make it past the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities and up to the sinusitis infection. Oral antibiotics and other oral medications are also frequently used treatments. Oral antibiotics work on infections by flowing through the blood stream to the infected area. Oral antibiotics are usually ineffective when it comes to sinusitis infections due to the fact that there are only a small amount of blood vessels in the sinus cavities which makes it difficult for an efficient amount of antibiotic, along with anti-fungals and anti-inflammatories, to make it to the sinus infection. Another treatment that may be used is irrigation. Irrigation, like nasal sprays, is meant to moisten the cilia so that it can function properly. Also like nasal sprays, it is difficult for it to make it through the inflammation and to the sinuses. Irrigation is also usually a very messy treatment. Using the intuition I had on Sinus Sphenoid Sinus, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Sinus Sphenoid Sinus has been included here.

[size=large][b]There are Many Symptoms Which can Take Place With Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Commonly, a person may experience cough, congestion, facial pain and pressure, green nasal discharge, and postnasal drip. When the sinusitis infection lasts for twelve or more weeks it is considered chronic and can have additional symptoms such as loss of sense of taste and smell and the person may also become fatigued.

[list][*]Our sinuses have important functions and it is important to keep them clear from infection and preventing it from getting to the point of surgery.[*]A sinusitis infection can become an inconvenience in many ways and also may cause future problems for the sinus cavities.[*]It is best to take care of a sinusitis infection at the beginning and to prevent it from becoming chronic and from leading to surgery.[/list]

[size=large][b]Surgery is a Treatment Option Which is Usually Used When All Other Treatments Have Failed[/b][/size][hr]Sinus surgery is painful and usually only offers short term relief since during the surgery they only remove a portion of the inflammation and infection which causes the infection to usually return. Many sinusitis suffers end up having several sinus surgeries in their lifetime. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Sinus Cavity, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.
