How To Treat Sinusitis?

Hi Alvano, thanks for the question. Sinusitis is a condition where there is inflammation of the sinus cavities. Sinuses are shaped as cavities located around the human head. This sinus cavity is connected to our respiratory tract in the nasal area. However, when there is inflammation, this cavity will be blocked by fluid. Normally this sinus cavity is empty and does not contain fluid

Sinusitis can be caused by several things, such as:

allergies bacterial, viral or fungal infections spread from other infections such as dental infections or respiratory infections Treatment of sinusitis is based on the cause. Sinusitis is often caused by the spread of infection that occurs in other places such as infections of the teeth. In this condition, sinusitis usually improves after the source of infection is initially treated. However, if sinusitis is triggered by an allergic process, the only thing that can be done is to avoid the allergen (substance that triggers an allergic reaction). Until now there has been no treatment for an allergy. When an allergic reaction occurs, the nasal cavity will produce excessive mucus and inflammation occurs on the surface of the nasal passages so that it will cause blockages in the sinus cavities. You should see an ENT doctor first to get further examination. A sinusitis can be seen through radiological examinations such as x-rays and ct-scans.
