What is a Sinus Infection?

A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is a swelling of the sinus cavities that surround the nose and eyes. These air-filled spaces play an important role in breathing and speaking. They also help control humidity and filter the air entering the lungs by producing natural mucus. This mucus works to remove dust and germs from the air that you breathe.

The sinus cavities may become infected when bacteria, mold, or viruses enter the body. The body may respond to these with inflammation and increased production of mucus. This swelling can block the mucus from draining naturally and it can become infected. A sinus infection can become a serious medical issue that requires professional attention.

Sinus infection symptoms may be similar to those of a common cold or allergies. Some of the most common sinusitis symptoms include:

Postnasal drip: Mucus running from the nose to the throat.
Abnormal nasal discharge: Mucus discharge from the nose that is green or yellow.
Congestion: Stuffy nose caused by inflammation.
Fatigue: The inability to achieve restful sleep due to sinus infection symptoms.
Facial pain: This includes headaches, tooth pain, or pain around the eyes and nose.
Facial swelling: Sensitivity and swelling at the top of the nose and around the eyes.
Other Symptoms: These may include coughing, bad breath, and fever.

It is possible to have sinusitis and allergies or a cold at the same time which can make it more difficult to find relief. Your symptoms and specific conditions are unique which is why it is important to seek treatment from a medical professional who will listen and respond to your needs.

Sinus infections are serious and they can have significant impacts on your health, well-being, and quality of life. Don’t let your sinus infection go untreated, schedule an appointment with Lubbock Sinus Doctor today.

Sinus Infection Treatment

Today, more than ever, you have options that will put an end to your sinus suffering and put you back in control of your life. Long-lasting treatment is available, affordable, and safe. The team at Lubbock Sinus Doctor can customize a treatment plan that is specific to your condition, meets your needs, and works for your budget.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Sinus surgery is a treatment option for those whose sinus blockage symptoms are the result of a physical defect in the nose or sinus area. These physical conditions may include:

Deviated septum
Closed passages
Nasal polyps

Sinus surgery is a fully invasive procedure that involves the permanent removal of bone or tissue. These procedures are typically done in a hospital or surgery center under anesthesia. Full recovery from sinus surgery can take weeks or months.

Antibiotics

Proper use of antibiotics can be an effective short-term solution for non-recurring sinus infections. One of the most common causes of sinusitis is a bacterial infection. When the body’s natural defense system is working properly, it can often fight off infection. However, when an infection is long-lasting (more than a week), antibiotics can significantly contribute to the healing process.

Specific antibiotics can target bacteria to provide relief and results can be seen in as little as a couple of days. All medications carry risks and antibiotics should not be used as a long-term solution to recurring sinus infections.

Nasal Spray

Nasal sprays help to prevent and treat sinus infection symptoms. There are two primary types of sprays which include:

Nasal decongestants
Nasal decongestants can reduce inflammation helping the body to naturally drain mucus. Symptom relief can be quick, but potential side effects require that they not be used as a long-term solution.
Nasal corticosteroids
Corticosteroid sprays also help reduce sinus and nasal swelling. However, these sprays can be safely used as part of a long-term treatment plan. When used effectively, these sprays can reduce symptoms and prevent future swelling of the sinuses.

Natural Home Remedies

Treating a sinus infection naturally can sometimes be a safe and effective way to find symptom relief and prevent future infections. If you are experiencing mild symptoms that are not the result of a severe infection, then a natural home remedy may be part of your treatment plan. Natural treatments must be implemented properly to prevent damage to the sinuses or other medical complications. You can learn more about adding natural solutions to your sinus treatment plan.
