Sinusitis Treatment

Sinusitis, in common language, is swelling caused by the infection of the sinuses. It is generally occurred due to bacterial (germ) infection. Generally, viruses and fungi are the main culprit for it. People who have weak immune systems are easily affected by bacterial or fungal sinus infection, especially in toxic environments of cities.Sinusitis is an infection affecting the air cavities within the passages of the nose. It can be caused by infection, allergies, and chemical or particulate irritation of the sinuses.

In medical terms, the sinuses are four paired cavities in the head called as “Paranasal Sinuses”, which are connected by narrow passages. The sinuses make thin mucus that drains out of the passages of the nose. This drainage helps to keep the nose clean and free of bacteria. These cavities are located at:

• Within the bony structure of the cheeks
• Behind the forehead and eyebrows
• On either side of the bridge of the nose
• Behind the nose directly in front of the brain

Some people have minor or major physical body deformities that leads to sinus infection.

Sinusitis can activate or aggravate due to several factors, like: Viruses, Bacteria, Pullutants, Fungi etc. but every time, it results from fluid becoming trapped in the sinuses. This results in the growth of germs.
