Sinusitis Symptoms

As mentioned in previous articles, culprit is often post nasal drip. Post nasal drip is often part of a cold or flu symptom. It is a sensation of mucous dripping in back of your throat. Frequent sniffing and swallowing should be indications of proactive sinuses. In other words, sinuses are producing more mucous because they sense bacteria or a virus. Sinusitis and sinus infection do frequently occur in wake of a cold or flu.

Sinusitis Prevention

Prevention is best way to stay out of way of sinusitis. Many of preventions are also treatments. For example, Xylitol, a natural enemy to bacteria, is a time-tested prevention for sinusitis. Xylitol is now being used as leading ingredient in nasal spray. The regular rinsing of sinuses is generally helpful in keeping bacteria from settling and mucous from getting over-produced.

For eyes, many studies have shown that increased exposure to ultraviolet rays actually increases possibility of developing certain types of cataracts. While cataracts can be removed surgically, they can present as a serious problem. However, overexposure can cause other eye problems such as pterygium, which is tissue growth on white part of eye, and macula degeneration, which is damage to retina.

Therefore, above anything, always wear protective eye gear. Remember that not all tanning salons enforce wearing of goggles so ultimately, you have responsibility to protect your eyes. If you notice goggles not fitting correctly, ask for another pair until you find one that does. Many people who tan on a regular basis will buy their own goggles, ensuring their eyes have best possible protection.

Finally, if at any time you see a tanning salon advertising that their beds do not produce glare so goggles are not needed, you should run away as fast as you can. This is a false claim that is highly irresponsible on side of tanning salon owners. This is serious business and you only have one set of eyes so do everything you can to protect them for life.
