Kinds Of SinusitisWritten by Kay Zetkin
After years of having sinusitis, are you still having trouble identifying what kind of sinusitis you have? Identifying what kind of sinusitis you have is important for you to apply right treatment. Generally, sinusitis is inflammation of lining of one or more of sinuses. Thus, in medical terms, sinusitis is classified according to inflamed sinuses and its involved side. Be aware that most people, including you, have four sets of sinuses: Maxillary, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid. Each sinuses is represented on right and left side of head. Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in mid-face or below eyes, cheek or upper teeth, almost like you’re having a toothache. Ethmoid sinus infection triggers pain between eyes, near bridge of nose. The pain may also become worse with eyeglasses on. Inflammation in frontal sinuses causes severe forehead pain. Sphenoid sinusitis is usually identified by deep-seated pain behind eyes, at top of head or nape of neck. Still, any number of your sinuses can be inflamed at one time. Pansinusitis means that all sinuses are infected. Another way of classifying sinusitis is by duration and frequency of attacks. There are two kinds of sinusitis depending on duration and frequency of attacks: acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. Acute sinusitis lasts less than six to eight weeks or occurs less than four times a year. This kind of sinusitis is often preceded by a cold. Once your symptoms last longer than ten to fourteen days, you may already be developing an acute sinus infection, especially if you are feeling facial pain or headache already. During early stages of acute sinusitis, there is nasal blockage and congestion, excessive mucus in nose and throat and sneezing. Some may feel malaise and fatigue and fever. Mucus may become thicker and discolored. Throat discomfort and occasional hoarseness may also be experienced due to postnasal drip. Coughing from postnasal drainage worsen in morning and at night.
