Sinus: Sinus Pressure: the Allergy Connection

Sinus and Sinus Pressure and the Allergy Connection

How many times have you heard someone say: "I think I'm coming down with a cold."? No doubt many times. In fact, most of us have'said that'or made'a similar statement, ourselves. Now a days when someone I know tells me that I usually reply: "Could it be allergies?" Because many of those "colds" are probably allergy reactions to the environment. As I look back to my childhood days one cannot, but wonder at the strong possibility that all those tablespoons of cod liver oil my mother faithfully administered----in their full natural flavor, as commonly done in those days--to prevent my getting a "cold," although not a bad idea'were probably unnecessary since'my frequent runny nose, coughing and'post nasal drip'were very likely'caused by allergens.'Even, perhaps, by'the thick smog'that'had developed in the large city I grew up in.

Then came spring time and as weeds and their flowers, and trees and their own flowers made their appearance once again in our area, the same allergic reaction I had had to the foods already mentioned, above,'began to reappear, except that' I wasn't using them. So, it became obvious that I was allergic to certain pollens and probably other allergens. I had pollen allergy tests made and sure enough there were a number of pollens I was very allergic to. With these results on hand the only alternative I had was:'move to a place where there were not pollens I was allergic to--probably something rather impossible--or begin to receive allergy injections on a regular basis. I opted for the latter.

Several years went by and we moved farther North where carpets are more commonly used than in the Southwest and I began to once again have "cold" symptoms. At least that's what we thought at first. Since I was hardly using cow's milk and had resumed the allergy injections my wife'and I wondered, what could the cause of'the post nasal drip, etc.,'be this time. So I went back to an allergy specialist in our new area.'After doing some testing'he found'I was very allergic to house dust.'In the process of being given the allergy tests I found that not all house dust'is'created equal. Some dusts contain large amounts of dust mite droppings. This kind of'mites thrive in a humid and warm environment, like the one produced by the human body while lying in bed,'where the mites'eat mostly microscopic particles of human skin that rubs off there and on the carpet. The tests'did show'I was very allergic to that kind of house dust. Thereupon I was given minute instructions by my doctor'on how to shield my bed'from the'little varmints and their'droppings. The devastating allergic effects I was having'began to subside, especially when to my allergy injections was added the dust mite droppings antigen.

Sinus Pressure is Often Cause be Allergies.

As I studied my sinus problem several years ago, I came to the conclusion that the two main causes of my problem were: some foods'and environmental allergies. Whenever I indulged in a milk shake or a large serving of ice cream I had serious post nasal drip in a matter of hours. And whenever I had a large glass of cow's milk 3 or more days in a row I had the same result. I would stop drinking milk for several days or stop eating ice cream and the sinuses would clear up in just a few days. The seeming correlation became so obvious that I finally decided, a number of years ago, to stop using these food items on a regular basis and, of course, the sinuses cleared up indefinitely.

Inspiration can be considered to be one of the key ingredients to writing. Only if one is inspired, can one get to writing on any subject especially like Cure Sinusitis.

As Noted by Dr

Joseph G. Marsan, honey has been used as an anti microbial dressing for infected wounds in traditional medicine. In the study it was found that ordinary honey has the capability to kill bacteria that causes sinusitis much better than an antibiotic. The study further revealed that certain honeys are very effective for getting rid of the biofilm. The presence of anti microbial properties is much superior to those anti microbial used in antibiotics.

Out of which 14-16% of the total US population suffer from Rhinosinusitis. The disease is very common among the women. About 90% of those who suffer from nasal congestion display sinus abnormalities. However, timely diagnosis of the sinusitis will be helpful in treating it. The treating therapy includes getting rid of the infection and inflammation.

Though honey has been using in homeopathic medicines to treat wounds, this recent study may hold clinical implications for the treatment of sinusitis.

The findings have shown that honey can be used in the management of the chronic infections that are difficult to treat. However, the dilemma how honey would be used clinically still continues to linger. You may be inquisitive as to where we got the matter for writing this article on Nasal Congestion. Of course through our general knowledge, and the Internet!

Over the years, many people have always had the perception that the only organisms responsible for sinusitis are viruses and bacteria. Well, to set the record straight, there are other organisms capable of causing this condition such as the fungi. Fungi are plant-like organisms that do not contain chlorophyll and as a result of this, they do not need light to produce their food. They instead feed on dead material in order for them to survive. These features enable them to reside in places such as sinus cavities where it is usually dark and moist. This often occurs after a fungal invasion in the body through a possible earlier infection. While in the sinus cavities, fungi do not harm the person hosting them but when they get to multiply into huge numbers, they attack the cells of the surfaces covering the sinuses and make it to swell. Once the lining has swollen, inhaled air is restricted from reaching the sinuses and this occurrence leads to fungal sinusitis such as Mycetoma fungal sinusitis.

This situation leads to the prevention of air from reaching the sinuses something that will force the patient to breathe with difficulty and ultimately be subjected to other fungal sinusitis symptoms. When fungi use this mode of entrance to invade the sinuses, they cause a type of fungal sinusitis known as allergy fungal sinusitis and it is usually treated by antihistamines such as Claritin, Zyrtec and Clarinex. These antihistamines work by preventing the histamine present in the body from causing the sinus lining to swell. This action will for certain go a long way to prevent sinusitis from progressing further. To stop allergy fungal sinusitis from recurring, immunotherapy and anti-inflammatory medical therapy are usually administered to the patient. This is the counterpart to our previous paragraph on Sinus Cavities. Please read that paragraph to get a better understanding to this paragraph.

Other forms of fungal sinusitis that can occur in people with suppressed immune systems are Chronic Idolent sinusitis and the Dominican university. Nodular shaped inflammatory lesions are usually used to confirm the presence of chronic Idolent sinusitis in a person while fulminant sinusitis leads to an increasing destruction of sinuses and can also attack the bony cavities that hold the brain and the eye balls. Both these fungal sinusitis conditions can be treated through surgical removal of the fungal material causing this infection or through administering intravenous anti-fungal therapy.

Another way fungi can cause fungal sinusitis is by entering the nostrils and causing an allergic reaction that leads to sinusitis. When fungi finely disperse themselves into the air, they can easily be inhaled together with the air. After these organisms have been inhaled and it turns out that the person who inhaled them is suffering from any type of immunodeficiency disease such as Diabetes and AIDS, the fungi may precipitate some allergic reactions which may produce body compounds such as histamine. Once histamine has been produced and ultimately finds its way into the sinuses, it may react with the sinus lining and then make it to swell up in the process. It was with great optimism that we started out on writing this composition on Sinus Cavities. Please don't let us lose this optimism.

Mycetoma fungal sinusitis is most of the time known to produce several clumps of spores within the sinus cavities including the maxillary sinuses. Fungi involved in causing this infection are said not to cause major inflammation to the sinuses however, they usually subject the patient to a discomfort situation. A simple scraping of the infected sinuses will be enough to treat this health problem. Patience was exercised in this article on Sinusitis. Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinusitis.
