Acute vs. chronic
Sinusitis can be acute (going on less than four weeks), subacute (4-8 weeks) or chronic (going on for 8 weeks or more).
All three types of sinusitis have similar symptoms, and are thus often difficult to distinguish.
Acute sinusitis
Acute sinusitis is often brought on by bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae, streptococci, or staphylococci.
It is usually precipitated by an earlier upper respiratory tract infection, generally of the viral type.
Chronic sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis is one of the most common complications of the common cold.
Symptoms include: Nasal congestion; facial pain; headache; fever; general malaise; thick green or yellow discharge; feeling of facial ‘fullness’ worsening on bending over; aching teeth.
In a small number of cases, chronic maxillary sinusitis can also be brought on by the spreading of bacteria from a dental infection. Chronic hyperplastic eosinophilic sinusitis is a noninfective form of chronic sinusitis.
Sinus headache
Sinus headache a headache caused by pressure within the sinus cavities of the head, usually in connection with infection of the sinuses. Signs and symptoms of sinus headache include pain and tenderness in the sinus area, discharge from the nose, and sometimes swelling of the face.
Diagnosis
Factors which may predispose to developing sinusitis include: allergies; structural problems such as, for example, a deviated septum, small sinus ostia; smoking; nasal polyps; carrying the cystic fibrosis gene (research is still tentative); prior bouts of sinusitis as each instance further narrows the drainage openings.
When imaging techniques are required for diagnosis CT scanning is the method of choice. If allergies are suspected, allergy testing may be performed.
Treatment
Therapeutic measures include simple painkillers (aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or similar), inhaling steam, nasal irrigation or jala neti using a warm saline solution, hot drinks including tea and chicken soup, over-the-counter decongestants, and getting plenty of rest. If sinusitis doesn’t improve within 48 hours, or is causing significant pain, one should see a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroids. If the recommended doses and duration of antibiotic treatment(s) are ineffective, one should consult a doctor; who may suggest further treatment by a qualified specialist.
If left untreated, sinusitis can lead to bronchitis and pneumonia.
For chronic or recurring sinusitis, referral to an otolaryngologist is indicated for more specialist assessment and treatment, which may include nasal surgery.
A recent advance in the treatment of sinusitis is a type of surgery called FESS – functional endoscopic sinus surgery, whereby normal clearance from the sinuses is restored by removing the anatomical and pathological obstructive variations that predispose to sinusitis. This replaces the less effective Caldwell-Luc surgery. Another recently developed treatment is balloon sinuplasty.
What is sinus infection?
Sinus infection (also referred to as sinusitis), is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, is one of the more common diseases that may afflict people throughout their lives. It is estimated that the average adult has three to four upper respiratory infections each year and that about 1% of these infections are complicated by sinusitis. In addition to sinus infection associated with these viral respiratory infections, many more people suffer inflammation of the sinuses as a result of seasonal allergic problems or hay fever. Other sources of irritation of the nasal passages which may lead to sinusitis include the use and /or abuse of over the counter nasal sprays and illegal substances that may be snorted through the nose.
