30% of all people suffer from Sinus InfectionsWritten 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 in 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 inside bones in skull. They are located to either side of nose (maxillary), behind and in between eyes (ethmoid), in forehead (frontal), and there is one much further back in head (sphenoid). These spaces contain mucus that drains by way of small pin holes in sinuses. When these sinuses grow swollen and prevents proper drain of mucus, sinusitis is result. Sinusitis attacks may last until 12 weeks or more depending on gravity of infection. Unlike colds which is viral, sinusitis may sometimes be caused by bacteria. The accumulated mucus from plugged sinuses serves as breeding ground for these microorganisms. At least 30% of population suffers from sinusitis each year. Sinusitis can be treated with right dose of antibiotics usually from fourteen to twenty-one days of continued medication. After that, another week is devoted to continued intake of antibiotics even after symptoms have disappeared. However, immediate measures have to taken if medication causes negative effects. A change in medicine can be done. Sinusitis that have come to chronic stage may sometimes be caused not by bacteria but by fungus making it prudent to have a sample of infected material to determine real culprit and be able to decide which antibiotic is best suited for condition.
| | What are the major categories of Social Security disability benefits?Written by Allen
Social Security Disability benefits pay money to disabled individuals if individual meets other qualifications. Overall, Social Security has five major benefits, each with different requirements. The first four types of Social Security Disability benefits described are based on an individual’s Social Security earnings record and work history, and not wealth or poverty of individual. The first type of Social Security Disability benefit is Social Security Disability Insurance, commonly referred to as “SSDI.” In most cases SSDI is available to individuals who become disabled but have worked five out of last 10 years. If you are under 31 years of age, however, rules are a little different because you have not been working for very long. The next two types are Disabled Widow's and Widower's Benefits. Like SSDI, to qualify for Disabled Widow's and Widower's Benefits an individual must work an appropriate amount of time under Social Security.
