[size=4][b]Sinusitis Specialists in Miami - Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms - Watch Out for Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Chronic sinusitis is inflammation of the air-filled spaces called sinuses behind the nose, forehead, cheeks, and eyes, which continues for a long time or keeps coming back. The researchers have distinguished chronic sinusitis as sinusitis that lasts three months or longer, from acute sinusitis, which lasts only a month or even less. According to them the cause of acute sinusitis is a bacterial infection. Usually chronic sinus infection symptoms may last for 3 months or even more. Often, the chronic inflammation may lead to, small growths in the nasal passages called polyps which obstruct breathing.

[size=large][b]Treatment for Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Antibiotics and over-the-counter decongestants are widely used fro treating chronic sinus infection symptoms. Antibiotics may not be effective in chronic sinusitis because they target bacteria, not fungi. The antibiotic treatment usually takes 3 - 4 weeks. The over-the-counter medications may offer some relief from pain, but they do not have any effect on the inflammation. Clean and drain sinuses works in some cases. Oral pills may provide relief from stuffy nose and some nasal sprays can help in relieving chronic sinus infection symptoms caused by allergies. Patients of chronic sinus infection symptoms can find relief through Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). This is a noninvasive outpatient procedure. The study results suggest that ESS helps to reduce dependence on antibiotics and antihistamines for managing the symptoms. Deviated septum and nasal obstruction may be repaired surgically to prevent chronic sinus infection symptoms.

Sinusitis is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the sinus candida in the nose. Sinusitis appears to be a cold in the first instance but if this cold doesn't get cured with normal medication, it may be the beginning of a sinus infection. It has been studied that a cold always causes the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the sinus cavity. But in case of a cold the inflammation clears up on its own. If we compare symptoms of a cold vs. sinus infection symptoms, we will realize that they are not completely the same. There is a major difference between the two.

[size=large][b]On Comparing the Symptoms of Cold Vs[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection symptoms, we will realize the degree of seriousness of this problem and the amount of pain sinusitis can cause to the patient. It is recommended that a patient visits a doctor when his / her cold is accompanied by any symptom associated with symptoms of sinusitis. Get more familiar with Sinus Treatment once you finish reading this article. Only then will you realize the importance of Sinus Treatment in your day to day life.

[size=large][b]The Difference Between the Symptoms of a Cold Vs[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection symptoms is that though the beginning of sinusitis is exactly the same as that of a common cold, a sinus infection is always accompanied by symptoms such as low grade fever, toothache, headache, facial pain and swelling in the face. The pain always increases when we bend our head. The nasal discharge in case of a sinus infection is greenish yellow in color and is pus filled.

[size=large][b]Comparing a Cold Vs[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection symptoms, we will realize that a common cold lasts for about a week to a maximum of about two weeks. The nasal congestion that occurs in case of a normal cold responds to normal over the counter decongestants/ unilateral postnasal drip case of a sinus infection does not respond to over the counter medication. If you find anything extra mentioning about Nasal Congestion, do inform us. It is only through the exchange of views and information will we learn more about Nasal Congestion.

[size=large][b]Though the Difference Between the Symptoms of a Cold Vs[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection symptoms are pretty easy to recognize, precautions should be taken in either case. People with a history of asthma and allergies should take care. Medication should be taken as early as possible and medical help taken the moment symptoms of sinusitis are observed.
