Why is it that sinus infections can be so hard to get rid of sometimes?

Is it because or the location or the infection? In other words can the sinuses be an easy place for organisms to hide or escape from the immune system? I have allergies and as long as I take what the doctor ordered; I am fine for the most part. But if I do not keep my allergies in check; I can get an infection alot easier. I haven’t had a sinus infection in a long long time. I just lack understanding on why so many people suffer from this and why these types of infections can be so persistant.

Looking for a cure for my allergies, I try the NeilMed Sinus Rinse for the first time. It’s quite a shock at first but after you get used to it, it’s not so bad. Plus, afterwards, I could breathe clearly.

I just started to take Xyzal and wanted to know if anybody has tried it and whether it helped them. Did you notice any side effects? I feel very groggy but can’t tell if it’s the medicine or the sinus problems themselves. Any info. is appreciated.

The Runny Nose Dilemma- Sinus Infection?

It might often happen that your child ends up with a runny nose. That is nothing unusual and that can not be fixed. However, when the condition keeps on going for more than a couple of weeks up to a month, you should start to be worried. Depending on the color of the mucus, doctors are able to diagnose your child. There are cases when the illness is not that severe, but your child might also suffer from a sinus infection. A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis is a cause for concern. However, a sinus infection can be treated and your child can recover from a sinus infection in a short period of time. All that it takes is to diagnose a sinus infection in time and start the proper treatment for a sinus infection.

If the mucus that your child has is clear, then it is not the case of a sinus infection. This is simply an allergies in most of the cases. If it is not allergies, then an irritant is the cause of the runny nose. There is no need for medication in this case. If allergies are the problem, then some tests will be done and medication will be prescribed. There is nothing to be concerned in this case. However, when the mucus is colored, then comes the worry part. If the mucus is cloudy, then a virus is the culprit, but it is not a sinus infection that we are dealing with. It is a head cold, which can last up to one week and can be treated. This illness is no as bad as a sinus infection. On the other hand, if the mucus is colored green or yellow, then your child could be dealing with a sinus infection. Doctors will not diagnose your child with a sinus infection right away. They will wait a few days to see how things evolve and then see if it is actually a sinus infection. A virus is almost always the cause of a sinus infection. Bacteria can also be responsible for the sinus infection, but after a while. This sinus infection will be treated with antibiotics. However, almost all doctors will wait up to one week before prescribing antibiotics for a sinus infection. They must first be sure that there is actually the case of a sinus infection that must be treated with antibiotics.

The color of the mucus is not the only way to diagnose a sinus infection. If your child has a cold that last more than one week, then it is possible that your child has a sinus infection. Furthermore, a fever is the best idicator of a sinus infection, as colds do not usually cause a fever. If pain in the eye and cheekbone area is felt, then there is no doubt that it is a sinus infection. Doctors can also take x-rays to proper diagnose a sinus infection. However, the result are not very reliable. Your child could suffer from a sinus infection even if the x- ray does not show that.

sinus problem?

rebar_caruso asked:


Can anyone recommend homeopathic or natural home remedy for problem sinus? My right upper sinus above my molars sometimes get infected and press on the nerves of my teeth in that area. It knocks me down for about a week. This last time, I got a low grade fever, uncontrollable shakes with the slightest breeze, and it felt like the side of my face was going to explode. It affected the hearing in my right ear and had me seeing stars in my right eye (which is already sight diminished due to acute optic neuritis). Any help would be appreciated, and I have no known allergies. Thanks!

BTW, my fever broke on the sixth night, and I’m back to normal after three days, tooth is fine, sinus is open again and air is flowing unrestricted. Looking for a maintenance type program, OR an event oriented cure.

Since it is allergy season I am once again blessed with what seems like a constant sinus infection. I know it is primarily allergies that are causing the problems, however I am not big on taking meds if there is a more natural cure. Any suggestions are welcomed! I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar not to long ago and it did help but the infection came back not long after!
