What is the treatment for severe sinus infection or cure sinus?

First we need to know what are ‘sinus conditions’:

Sinusitis is the tissues lining the sinuses getting inflammation and inflammation is nothing but swelling. If the sinuses get fluids inside, which are normally filled with air, will be prone to get several ‘infections in sinuses’ and developed as sinusitis.

Sinus condition could be a result of blockage like common cold (‘cold sinus’), allergies like ‘acute rhinosinusitis’ that is swelling nasal linings, deviation of nasal septum, nasal linings’ growth – nasal polyps etc.

‘The types of sinusitis’ or ‘sinus conditions’ might be discussed as 4 major conditions but they include the all possibilities of sinus conditions.

Nasal infection

Facial problems

The sudden oncoming of running nose, nasal stuffiness and pain in the face are causing acute sinusitis if they does not disappear with normal treatment within 2 weeks and last for 4 weeks is ‘acute sinusitis’. If the same lasts for more than 4 weeks and less than 10 weeks is called ‘subacute sinusitis’. If you get several attacks in a period of one year then it should be ‘Recurrent sinusitis’ or ‘Recurring Sinus Infections’. The ‘Chronic Sinusitis’ or ‘sinus chronic’ is a condition that is defined by symptoms of inflammation will last for more than 8-10 weeks.

Infection

Mucus

When we discuss the ‘symptoms of sinuses’, Generalised pain over the face, cough and congestion of nose, discharge from nose, losing smell sensation, stuffiness and other symptoms like fever, pain in the jaws, fatigue and bad breathe.

If the nasal discharge is yellowish or greenish in colour and thick in consistency with more than two of the above symptoms may be diagnosed as acute. Most of sinuses are ‘nasal sinus’ the people are suffering with. The target ‘sinus location’ is mainly in the linings of the nose and infection spreads to other parts of the face. These are the ‘diagnosis of sinusitis’ in common.

The ‘symptoms of sinus headache’ include the above with severe headache, running nose and facial pain for more than two weeks.    

Common methods of ‘diagnosis of sinusitis’ include:

Tapping the teeth to identify the inflammation of paranasal sinus

The doctor may feel by pressing parts of face to find out level of tenderness  

Laboratory diagnosis of sinusitis include mucus culture, specific x-ray of the part or nose, ‘nasal endoscopy’, allergy tests for ‘sinusitis allergies’  Other diagnostic tests to assess the potential causes for sinusitis may include a mucus culture and CT scan etc.

Treatments:

‘Treating sinusitis’ is one of the major challenges and especially ‘recurring sinus infection’ . The primary ‘acute sinusitis treatment’ is nasal decongestants like Atrivin, nasivion etc. this is very helpful during cold and ready reckoner for nasal sinuses while travelling. However, this is not normally recommended for ‘chronic sinusitis treatment’. Oral medications may not be required for nasal congestions except anti-inflammatory medications for sometimes and for cold sinuses even if it cannot be controlled in two weeks’ time, the webmd.com refers.

The treatment for ‘allergies and sinus’ is commonly saline water irrigation, see the picture and the ‘medication’ is also symptomatic like pain relievers and antihistamines. When you have yellowish or greenish mucus discharge, it is bacterial infection and the ‘best sinus infection treatment’ is let it cured within 14 days without treatment or with antibiotics.  

If the symptoms are getting worse, feeling worse, severe and fever, they you may immediately require medical attention and must see the specialist. It doesn’t mean that you should not see the doctor before. This article tries to explain the conditions not specific recommendation and providing general information on sinuses.

The single best sinus infection treatment could not be explained as the case is mostly due to allergies could be treated and managed. Firstly, we have to try controlling the inclining factors like removing the irritants in the living environment. ‘Cure sinus’ is possible only in the case of DNS (that is also considered as 50:50 by some physicians) and may be possible that needs surgery. In no comprehensive studies the prescribed symptom relief sprays, antibiotics and drugs work.

Sinus surgery: The ‘sinus surgery’ called as FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) are proven giving moderate relief and should be done in later stage not recommended for primary treatment for chronic sinusitis or ‘treatment for severe sinus infection’.

FESS

Nasal Surgery

Since there is no way to cure and avoid most of the sinusitis the prevention is the better cure.

By avoiding very dry environment both in cold and hot places

Elimination of irritants, avoiding to get exposed to tobacco and other smokes and chemical odours will help.

Use nasal irrigation whenever possible, sprays with saline and lubricant spays may help a lot.

Overall, sinusitis can be managed and cure sinus is a dream for millions. Based on their conditions and treatments only rare cases were cured.

This article tries to provide the basic information on sinuses, medication and cure for sinusitis and treatment for sinus infection etc. with the guidance of a physician.
