Sinusitis Symptoms and Treatment Options

Your sinuses lie just behind your face, they are empty spaces through which flows the air you breathe. They operate as a sort of filter, and while working correctly you won't even feel that they're there. But if they become inflamed and infected then that condition is called sinusitis, the inflammation interrupts the normal airflow and drainage of these small passages which can result in painful pressure. Learn more about the symptoms and treatment options for sinus infection by reaching out to Dr. Robert Crowe and Dr. Dana Roloff of Sabine Urgent Care in Many & Leesville, LA.

Causes and Symptoms

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses, and it becomes chronic sinusitis if the condition keeps coming back. Anything that obstructs your sinuses can cause sinusitis, chronic sinusitis could be due to structural abnormalities in the nose, infection, or swelling caused by allergies. The buildup and pressure can be so severe that some have likened it to a toothache.

At-Home Care

In its early stages, sinusitis may be treated with at-home treatments, these can allow you to monitor your symptoms and determine when and if you should seek treatment from your doctor.

If you don't notice improvement or your symptoms worsen then it's definitely time to visit your doctor's office.

Steam therapy can help clear out your sinuses, and can be as simple as sitting in your bathroom after taking a warm shower, but a humidifier can also help.

You'll also want to drink plenty of water, extra fluids can help thin out mucus, and get enough rest.

Proper at-home care can be beneficial even while undergoing professional treatment by your doctor to alleviate the symptoms.
