Treatment For Sinus

Treatment For Sinus

What could be a possible treatment for a sinus problem and nagging cough that won't go away?


Cough medicine and antibiotics have already been used and they didn't work.

How long did the doctor prescribe the antibiotics for? The recommended length of treatment for sinus infections is 21 days. This is because the sinus' are nice warm, wet places and they are perfect for bacteria to grow in. Go to the doctor and have him/her give you a prescription for 21 days and don't miss a day. Now once you start that you also need to get a Neti pot. You can get one at most health food stores. These are little ceramic pots that you put mild saline solutions in and use to literally rinse out the sinus' and nasal passages. The salt water not only flushes out the gunk but the salt acts as a drying agent to gently kill the bacteria. Do this a couple of times a day as well. You can also use warm salt water as a gargle. The ratio is 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of warm water and gargle until it is all gone. The salt water soolthes the throat and the again kills the nasty germs that are causing the cough and discomfort. I hope that you feel better soon.

General Information About the Treatment in Sinusitis

Sinus infections are generally cured by medicational means as well as by applying warmed up compresses on your face at home. The expected goals of the treatment are:

1. To relieve the pain and the pressure the patient feels.

2. Reduce sinus inflammation and ease mucus drainage

3. Eliminate the infection

4. Avoid symptoms from becoming persistent and protect the membranes of nose and sinuses

Medication treatment in sinusitis is especially prescribed in case of sinus infections with bacteria. The cure can last for several days or get to a few weeks depending on severity of the symptoms. Best results were achieved after using a combination of more medications.

Antibiotics are given to combat the bacterial infection; an antibiotic with good results has proven to be Amoxicillin. Stopping the pains is mostly achieved with analgesics like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. The inflammation of the sinus and nose membranes is reduced by administrating nasal decongestants such as pseudo ephedrine hydrochloride. Thickened mucus will also cause a series of problems; making it thinner is done through mucolytics. Corticosteroids in form of nasal sprays, containing prednisone, are most indicated for reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.

According to the latest studies, best results in medication have been touched by administering local inhaled antibiotics.

The cases of sinus infection lasting less than 3 weeks are diagnosed as acute sinusitis and usually are easy to treat. Because of side-effects like becoming resistant, stomach aches or diarrhea, antibiotics must be prescribed only is case of absolute certainty that the infection can be treated with antibiotics. Many cases of sinus disease are caused by germs and viruses that don’t respond to antibiotherapy.

If you recognize sinusitis symptoms, stem inhalation from the early stages might help you cure it faster and without antibiotics. Though, sinusitis caused by bacteria should be treated by a cure of 5-10 days with antibiotics; suspending the administration of drugs before term can make germs resistant to treatment and worsen the infection. If symptoms persist or modify during treatment the doctor could prescribe you a higher dose or a different kind of antibiotic. Some 5-10% of sinusitis episodes do not respond to ant biotical cure.

Chronic sinusitis requires a longer period of antibiotherapy combined with a nasal corticosteroid decongestant.

Sinus infections in people with a weaken immune system can be caused by atypical bacteria, viruses or fungus. These are rebel cases as they do not respond to current therapy and fungal or corticosteroid medication or even surgery can be necessary. Surgery is sometimes the last resort, when symptoms become permanent and unbearable and no treatment is efficient.

Diagnosing and treating sinusitis might take longer, as symptoms are assembling to those of a regular cold and the certainty of sinus infection especially in children may be difficult. If you suspect sinusitis in you or your child start home treatment immediately and see a specialist.

Good Product for a Great Price!

by R. Wilson from on 2010-03-26
When I purchased the Sanvic Pulsatile Nasal/Sinus Irrigator earlier this month, it came with a two weeks supply of the premeasured buffered salt packets.I'm a hypertonic person meaning the normal isotonic saline solution is inadequate, so I was a bit nervous as to how doubling up would be. It was great. And it was nice having the premeasured packets.The really good news is when I shopped around and did some price comparisons, I found this was one of the best deals I could find, so a win/win.

Nasaline Salt-Non Iodized Salt For Saline Solution is 99.9% pure pharmaceutical salt used for making saline solution. Nasaline has no additives or preservatives and has not been iodized. You should always use purified water to mix your saline solution. Using a simple saline solution can give the same relief while using only pure, natural salt to constrict the blood vessels. You can also use your pure saline solution for wound cleansing. Keeping a wound clean and moisterized will dramatically decrease the healing time and chance of infection. Nasaline salt saline solution is also good for cleaning body piercings. Again, being a wound, the piercing will heal cleaner and faster with proper care. Many professional piercers will include a small bag of Nasaline salt with the aftercare paperwork.

It's what it is...a nasal salt wash.

by Lincoln County MT from Extreme NW Montana on 2009-02-05
It's ok...I've had other brands I like better. I use it for sinus problems and thought this would be better at home..save the individual packets then for travel. If you have a place to set this jar in the cupboard or out of the way in a drawer perhaps..but where it's handy then I think most people will be satisfied with it. The jars I got are pre-packed in plastic inside with a blue teaspoon measuring device. I don't like the spoon but it works. And I poured the salts out of the plastic bag into the jar and it's easier now to dip the spoon in and measure right amount from it. If you need an extra dose you can double the amount. But becareful it can burn...the whole idea is not to cause burning...straight water will feel like it's burning...the salt solution sooths your sinus tissues and that's the main idea. It probably draws some of the mucus out too....I liked another brand a bit better but it does not come in the bulk or jar choice....so this is fine. I also use their bottle application not the netti pot. For me it works better. Actually I didn't think the hose inside the bottle was long enough and had another one from a different bottle I did not like as well as this brands squatter style...so cut it to fit to the bottom slightly on a slant cut and now it works very well...right down to the bottom or the water.....so they could make the hose or straw longer in both their sizes of bottles.

Aprilaire filters work great

by K. Booth from Dallas, Texas on 2009-12-16
I saved money by ordering the package of two. It saved me money. They're easy to install and I could tell the quality of the air in the house improved in one or two days. Another benefit that people may not know about these filters is that they reduce the amount of dust so much which means you don't have to dust as often. These filters cost more at the retail stores close to my home. I'm glad I ordered them online. I didn't even have to pay for the shipping. Bottom line: they are great and well worth the money.


Aprilaire Filter Media 2 -Pack

by R. Peter Wolf from Bethesda, MD on 2009-11-16
We have previously had replacement filters installed by our HVAC service company. Purchasing the 2-pack through Amazon reduced the cost to slightly more than 1/4 what we had been paying, with very easy self-installation. I will continue to obtain replacement filters through the Amazon marketplace.


Works

by MD from VA USA on 2009-11-08
Relatively easy to install, works great. I usually only have to replace the filter every two years (since I also use the cheap fiberglass prefilters). Helps with allergies and keeps the coils perfectly clean.

Description

New Neti Pot Nasal Wash / Sinus Irrigation System by Nasopure is the natural way to improve sinus health and prevent sickness because it uses natural ingredients and does not have any side effects. The patented bottle is an improvement on the traditional neti pot design because it encourages nasal washing with your head in an upright position as opposed to tilting your head to the side with a traditional neti pot. In addition, the patented bottle has a tip that makes nasal washing easy for everyone ages two and above. The patented bottle comes in two sizes: a 4 ounce travel bottle and an 8 ounce bottle that holds enough saline mix for an entire week of use. Regular use of a saline nasal wash can soothe and moisturize nasal membranes which helps keep sinuses clear, clean, and healthy. Further, nasal washing can reduce allergy symptoms, sinus congestion, and dependency on medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines, nasal steroids, decongestants, and asthma medications because the saline mix creates an adverse environment for viral and bacterial organisms. It is recommended to use less saline mix to start and to gradually increase the potency of the saline mix. Included are detailed instructions that illustrate how to hold the bottle at the correct angle and how to create the saline mix with the easy to use Swish Stixs. Recommended for use by children two and above, athletes, performers, singers, travelers, seniors, firefighters, construction workers, farmers, military, and anyone exposed to environmental pollution and irritants.

Features

  • Patented bottle design supports nasal washing with head in upright position (i.e., no bending or twisting) and for use over the sink and in the shower. Product is assembled in the USA by disabled adults in a sheltered workshop.
  • Includes a supply of pre-measured saline mix that is natural, side effect free, and can last up to 20 weeks
  • Natural saline solution soothes irritated membranes by safely washing away pollen, mold, dust, bacteria, viruses, and mucus
  • Swish Stix saline mix is comprised of a pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate with no additives, perfumes, or ingredients. Each Swish Stix creates enough saline solution for up to a week of use.
  • More convenient than a traditional Neti and recommended for use by children two and above, athletes, performers, singers, travelers, seniors, firefighters, construction workers, farmers, military, and anyone exposed to environmental pollution and irritants.

Great product works as advertised

by Another PHmiracle from on 2010-08-18
I use this in shower a when I might feel congested. Works great to clear out the sinuses.


Ok

by maf from on 2010-08-15
Helps some with allergies and congestion, but doesn't solve all of the symptoms. A nice alternative to taking more medication. Works better after used for a few days with 2 packets. Also be sure to follow the directions and do not use before laying down


Love this product

If your nostrils are big, forget it...

by G. Aurelien from on 2010-05-28
I'm guessing the reason why I get a mess coming out of my nostril when using the Nasopure instead of a neat stream of water that I see coming from the people using the product in the video demonstrations, is that I'm not getting a tight enough seal. It just seems to me that the product is made for people with nostrils up to a certain size and smaller. And if your nostrils are larger than those particular sizes, then you are out of luck.I had the same problem when trying the Neti Pot. I was tilting my head correctly and I was even trying to push the pot further in my nostril to get a better seal, but I had just had Sinuplasty surgery and doing that was very painful.If I am wrong and this is not the reason why the solution comes drizzling down my nose, mouth, chin and eventually shirt, then I would really appreciate some insight. Because I know that I read in both the Nasopure and Neti Pot instructions that there should be a seal when using their products. And until Nasopure makes a bigger spout, it's going right up my nose.


Great product!

by Jessica Z from Raleigh, NC USA on 2010-03-24
I bought two sets for myself and my 6-year-old son. I tried it first before giving it to my son. I was a little skeptical at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience for me. I did not feel any burning sensation or pain when I used it. My son has been using it everyday for a month now and he has no complains. This is a great product for kids and adults. I would recommend it to everyone.
