Talking about sinus infection problems, many people still don’t understand how dangerous this disease actually. So many people think that they just caught flu or a common fever. This is exactly wrong. Sinusitis can be acute (about three weeks) or chronic (about 3-8 weeks or more, even for years). There are four kinds of sinus: maxillary, ethmoidalis, frontal and sphenoidalis.
Sinus infection symptoms are abnormalities in the headache that is felt when the patient wake up (especially in the morning) or when patient feel hurt over their face, especially on the temple, between both eyebrows. There are two kinds of sinusitis, one kind is acute, and another one is chronic. Both have the same symptoms, namely tenderness and swellings inside the sinuses are affected, but A few symptoms recrudescent on the basis of the affected sinuses.
Maxillary sinusitis causes pain on the cheek right below your eyes, and headaches around your temple. Sinusitis frontalis causes pain on the middle of your head; it will feel so hurt even when you just touch it, like if there is a scar on it. Ethmoidalis causes pain behind the eyes and it also causes headache on forehead like the frontalis type. This infection can also cause pain when you press on the outskirts of the nose, worst; it reduces your sense of smell like when you catch a flu. Sinusitis sphenoidalis cause pain whose location is uncertain and could be felt at the top of the head of the front or rear, sometimes you will feel a pain around your neck or your ears. So, who are they who prone to sinusitis? They are like smokers, allergy sufferers, swimmers, patients with influenza, and those who live in dry air. Why smokers? Because of the heat, which is inhaled stimulate organs around nose causing irritation and increase the likelihood of sinusitis.
Why allergy sufferers? Because of the changes in temperature and humidity can cause inflammation in the nose that may creep into sinus. Since a lot of people ignore their condition, the sinusitis turned into the worst or chronic. If it can’t be used with such treatment, then the only way to treat chronic sinusitis is surgical. For children, the situation is often improved after the removal of adenoids that obstruct the sinus to the nasal tract. But for adult patients who also have allergic diseases sometimes found polyps in the nose. Polyps should be removed so that the airway open and reduce sinus symptoms.
