built 645 days ago
Acute sinusitis requires treatment with an antibiotic to kill the infection. To prevent resistance to the antibiotic, and to prevent further infection, be sure to take all of the medication just as your physician directs, even if you no longer experience symptoms.

Acute sinusitis is much more common in some people than in the general population. For example, sinusitis occurs more often in people who have reduced immune function (such as those with primary immune deficiency diseases or HIV infection) and with abnormality of mucus secretion or mucus movement (such as those with cystic fibrosis).

In a nutshell, the Mayo Clinic,has determined that chronic sinusitis may be an auto-immune response to fungi ormold in the respiratory tract. Essentially, they are deciding that acute sinusitis may actually be fungal sinusitis. But, where does this fungus come from. Is it possible that the cause of sinusitis is your body reacting to an organism called candida albicans?

Practice of the TM technique twice a day is a powerful mind-body healing approach to the problems of sinusitis. The TM program at The Raj gets you off to a superb start with your practice, and your instructor will help connect you with the local TM program center in your home area for any follow-up that you may desire.

CT is the examination of choice in the evaluation of sinusitis, particularly chronic sinus disease providing excellent detail of sinus anatomy. However, CT is usually not useful in acute sinusitis, as diagnosis is primarily based on clinical findings. Good anatomic definition is desirable before surgical intervention.

A large percentage of chronic sinusitis is related to obstruction associated with swollen and inflamed membranes along the sinus passageways. Normally, the sinuses can produce up to a quart of mucous a day. When the sinuses are blocked, they can't drain properly and the retained fluids can become infected. Balloon Sinuplasty(TM) devices gently restructure the bones lining the sinus passageways, permanently widening the opening and allowing for drainage and restoration of normal function.
