Written by Paul Hood


Have you ever felt like your head is going to explode? Felt intense pressure behind your eyes making it next to impossible to concentrate. Had headaches, pain inrepparttar upper jaws, fever, coughs and runny nose? If your answer is yes, then you could be suffering from Sinus infection.

According to Mark Cichocki, our sinuses are air pockets located insiderepparttar 114101 bones inrepparttar 114102 skull. They are located to either side ofrepparttar 114103 nose (maxillary), behind and in betweenrepparttar 114104 eyes (ethmoid), inrepparttar 114105 forehead (frontal), and there is one much further back inrepparttar 114106 head (sphenoid). These spaces contain mucus that drains by way of small pin holes inrepparttar 114107 sinuses. When these sinuses grow swollen and preventsrepparttar 114108 proper drain of mucus, sinusitis isrepparttar 114109 result. Sinusitis attacks may last until 12 weeks or more depending onrepparttar 114110 gravity ofrepparttar 114111 infection. Unlike colds which is viral, sinusitis may sometimes be caused by bacteria. The accumulated mucus fromrepparttar 114112 plugged sinuses serves asrepparttar 114113 breeding ground for these microorganisms. At least 30% ofrepparttar 114114 population suffers from sinusitis each year.

Sinusitis can be treated withrepparttar 114115 right dose of antibiotics usually from fourteen to twenty-one days of continued medication. After that, another week is devoted to continued intake ofrepparttar 114116 antibiotics even afterrepparttar 114117 symptoms have disappeared. However, immediate measures have to taken ifrepparttar 114118 medication causes negative effects. A change in medicine can be done. Sinusitis that have come torepparttar 114119 chronic stage may sometimes be caused not by bacteria but by fungus making it prudent to have a sample ofrepparttar 114120 infected material to determinerepparttar 114121 real culprit and be able to decide which antibiotic is best suited forrepparttar 114122 condition.
