Question 5

sir please give some home remedies for sinusitis treatment.

Accepted Answer

See Sinus Survival: That book is the best reference.  Avoid dairy, wheat, sugar.  Be sure you are getting enough vit  d. The herbs thyme, clove, oregano, ginger, and rosemary are all helpful in food.  Vitmain c with bioflavanoids inhibit histamine which is an aggravating factor.  Xylitol nasal spray can be helpful.

Question 6

what is the treatment for sinusitis and how long do symptoms last?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: Bacterial type of sinusitis is treated with antibiotics to kill bacteria in the sinuses, a decongestant (often a combination such as Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D), and a steroid nasal spray such as Nasonex or Flonase to shrink some of the swelling inside the nose so the sinuses can properly drain. Persistent bacterial sinusitis symptoms may need longer courses of antibiotics and an ENT doctor's exam.

Question 7

will any changes in lifestyle be suggested during treatment for sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: "allergy proofing your house" will be the first thing. Trying to elimanate allergen "sponges" like carpeting/rugs/stuffed animals/pillows, etc. Unfortunately,  sometimes man's best friend has to go as well as cat's. Most pet owners will not let their pets go... So a good over the counter anti-histamine (claritin, zyrtec) is helpful or allergy shots.

Question 8

i have had sinusitis for a long time. what treatment can solve my problem?

Accepted Answer

: Often chronic returning sinus issues are associated with exposure to things that irritate the nasal membranes such are dust, often from construction work, or allergies to things that are around you like pets, plants. There are also rare immune deficiencies or inflammatory on conditions  like eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

Question 9

is sinusitis a forever diasase? can a person be cured permanently of this in a few years with regular treatment? how many years? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: If you have chronic allergies or cystic fibrosis, then sinusitis can sometimes hang on and be very frustrating to manage. An acute infection will usually clear up after treatment with the appropriate antibiotic. Talk it over with your doctor to see what is causing yours and the best treatment. Also, products like Neti pot often help relieve pressure, drainage and sinus symptoms. Hope that helps.

Question 10

could you tell me what is the treatment for chronic sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Chronic sinusitis is defined as sinus infection that has lasted for more than 3 months or 90 days.  Usually this problem has been treated with multiple antibiotics and steroids.  If the symptoms of pain, pressure and fullness accompanied by yellow nasal drainage continue for more 90 days, it means that the passages from the sinuses to the nose are blocked and they need to be surgically enlarged.
