  1. 1. Chronic sinusitis Overview Hello friends. Today's article is on Chronic Sinusitis. (The most rising nose disease ). Let's get started. What is chronic sinusitis? Definition. Chronic sinusitis may be caused by an allergic reaction to a certain ingredient or substance. This is known as a food allergy, which is usually severe and may cause an extreme reaction that leads to inflammation and the release of mucus; this is known as an asthma attack in children. Common causes. More serious causes include, 1) eosinophilic esophagitis 2) rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps 3) other types of allergies Symptoms Symptoms include nasal congestion, dry cough and wheezing, watery eyes, fever, runny nose or swelling of the nasal passages. There are also conditions such as fungal infection and eosinophilic esophagitis that can cause chronic sinusitis. Types of sinusitis. The type of sinus infection differs depending on the specific disease-causing factors like allergy, sinus infections or irritants.
  2. 2. In the following section of the article, we are going to discuss the different types of sinusitis. Acute sinusitis. Acute sinusitis occurs during a single episode of illness, usually the first few days after a symptom-producing event. Symptoms of acute sinusitis Symptoms of chronic sinusitis. An acute sinusitis patient usually has symptoms that are more intense during his symptom-producing episode. It might take several months before the symptoms disappear from their initial attack. If there is another disease that can be caused by the same trigger then it will become chronic sinusitis. That means that the symptoms of sinusitis always occur after the initial symptoms. Persistent Sinusitis A persistent symptom does not necessarily mean that there was no trigger in the first instance. Persistent sinusitis is usually the case when it is the second time around. Here, the symptoms persist over time.
  3. 3. Chronic Sinusitis Chronic sinusitis occurs over a period of at least six months in most patients. During this period, there might be persistent symptoms that have been present before for a long period of time. These persistent symptoms are called ‘chronic’ because they occur repeatedly over a period of years or even decades. Unlike acute sinusitis where symptoms improve within a short period, chronic sinusitis is associated with worsening symptoms and it may last for quite some time. Symptoms. Some of the symptoms related to chronic sinusitis include: Irritability and anger Irritability and annoyance (for example, crying) 1) Soreness around the ear 2) Runny/wheezy nose, sneezing and/or coughing 3) Sneezing, shortness of breath and fatigue 4) Dry skin 5) itchy scalp and rashes 6) Blisters or sores in the throat, mouth and even eyes
  4. 4. Sinusitis. Symptoms are different for each person and they vary from mild to severe depending on how frequently the attacks are occurring and how severe their symptoms are. People who have ongoing nasal symptoms related to chronic sinusitis should consult a doctor. In addition to taking medications to reduce these symptoms, patients should consider using allergy drops if they suffer from any of these common triggers: Pollens 1) Dust mites 2) Soot / Stinging Noses
  5. 5. 3) Smoke 4) Chemicals like herbicides and insecticides 5) Foods 6) Deodorants and perfumes Antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria Some people with chronic sinusitis may benefit from surgery and medical procedures which can help loosen up clogging pockets/ sinuses. In general, these surgeries are mainly effective for acute sinusitis that lasts less than 6 weeks. Treatment Antibiotic drugs used during surgeries to treat other conditions such as cancer or pneumonia will have little effect on those who suffer from chronic sinusitis. However, antibiotics should only be administered under the supervision of specialists in a hospital setting. Surgical treatments Surgical treatment will help relieve pain and relieve itching that is often seen during sinusitis. This includes both local and systemic anti-inflammatory medicines that help the body balance its immune system by limiting the inflammatory reactions that can result from inhaled substances that trigger sinus inflammation. Corticosteroids, which are given through injections or pills, also help to temporarily reduce inflammation, so that sinus problems do not worsen further. Surgery can be recommended for some forms of acute sinusitis when other methods of treatment fail and the symptoms become intolerable or unmanageable. When surgery is recommended, a specialist will make sure that all the necessary precautions are taken and follow-up care will be provided regularly to monitor improvements and determine whether surgery is needed. If you are suffering from either acute or chronic sinusitis your healthcare provider should recommend a referral to one of our registered plastic surgeons who have experience treating both types of sinusitis. They will work closely with you to develop an individualized plan to manage your condition. Treatment options Over the past four decades, medical care has improved
