Homeopathy treatment for Sinusitis

Sinus, also known as rhinosinusitis, is inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the sinuses resulting in symptoms that may include thick nasal mucus, a plugged nose, and facial pain

It defined as acute sinusitis if it lasts less than 4 weeks, and as chronic sinusitis if it lasts for more than 12 weeks.

It can cause by infection, allergies, air pollution, or structural problems in the nose. Most cases cause by a viral infection. Recurrent episodes are more likely in persons with asthma, cystic fibrosis, and poor immune function.

The sinus most commonly involved the maxillary follow in turn by ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid. Very often more than one sinus infect (Multi-sinusitis). Sometimes, all the sinuses of one or both sides are involved simultaneously

(Pansinusitis unilateral or bilateral).

Sinusitis may “open” or “closed” type depending upon whether the inflammatory products of sinus cavity can drain freely in to the nasal cavity through the nasal ostia or not. A “closed” sinusitis causes more severe symptoms and is also likely to cause complication .

[1] According to duration

  • Acute sinusitis
  • Chronic sinusitis

[2] According to sinuses

The four paired paranasal sinuses are the frontal, ethmoidal, maxillary, and sinuses. The ethmoidal sinuses are further subdivided into anterior and posterior ethmoid sinuses, the division of which is defined as the basal lamella of the middle nasal concha. In addition to the severity of disease, discussed below, sinusitis can be classified by the sinus cavity it affects:

  • Maxillary– can cause pain or pressure in the maxillary (cheek) area (g., toothache, or headache).
  • Frontal– can cause pain or pressure in the frontal sinus cavity (located above the eyes), headache, particularly in the forehead
  • Ethmoidal– can cause pain or pressure pain between/behind the eyes, the sides of the upper part of the nose (the medial canthi), and headaches.
  • Sphenoidal – can cause pain or pressure behind the eyes, but is often felt in the top of the head, over the mastoid processes, or the back of the head.

[1] Acute sinusitis

(A) Exciting cause i.e.:
  • Nasal infections; Sinus mucosa is a continuation of nasal mucosa and infections from nose can travel directly by continuity or by way of submucosal lymphatics. Most common cause of acute sinusitis is viral rhinitis followed by bacterial invasion.
  • Swimming and diving; Infected water can enter the sinuses through their ostia. High content of chlorine gas in swimming pools can also set up chemical inflammation.
  • Trauma; Compound fractures or penetrating injuries of sinuses—frontal, maxillary and ethmoid—may permit direct infection of sinus mucosa. Similarly, barotrauma may be followed by infection.
  • Dental infections; This applies to maxillary sinus. Infection from the molar or premolar teeth or their extraction may be followed by acute sinusitis .
(B) Predisposing causes i.e.;
  • LOCAL

          1.Obstruction to sinus ventilation and drainage. Normally, sinuses are well-ventilated. They also secrete small amount of mucus, which by ciliary movement, is directed towards the sinus ostia from where it drains into the nasal cavity. Any factor(s) which interfere with this function can cause sinusitis due to stasis of secretions in the sinus. They are i.e.:

  1. Nasal packing
  2. Deviated septum
  3. Hypertrophic turbinate
  4. Oedema of sinus ostia due to allergy or vasomotor

    Rhinitis

  5. Nasal polyp
  6. Structural abnormality of ethmoidal air cells
  7. Either Benign or malignant neoplasm.

        2.Stasis of secretions in the nasal cavity.

Normal secretions of nose may not drain into the nasopharynx because of their viscosity (cystic fibrosis) or obstruction (enlarged adenoids, choanal atresia) and get infected.

        3.Previous attacks of sinusitis.

 Local defences of sinus mucosa are already damaged.

GENERAL

Environment i.e.

 

Sinusitis

is common in cold and wet climate. Atmospheric pollution, smoke, dust and overcrowding also predispose to sinus infection.

Poor general health i.e.

 Recent attack of exanthemata’s fever (measles, chickenpox, whooping cough), nutritional deficiencies and systemic disorders (diabetes, immune deficiency syndromes) .

[A] In Acute sinusitis:

Acute inflammation of sinus mucosa causes hyperaemia, exudation of fluid, outpouring of polymorphonuclear cells and increased activity of serous and mucous glands. Depending on the virulence of organisms, defenses of the host and capability of the sinus ostium to drain the exudates, the disease may be mild (nonsuppurative) Or severe (suppurative). Initially, The exudate is serous; later it may become mucopurulent or purulent. Severe infections cause destruction of mucosal lining. Failure of ostium to drain results in empyema of the sinus and destruction of its bony walls leading to complications. Dental infections are Very fulminating and soon result in suppurative sinusitis.

[B] In Chronic sinusitis:

Acute infection destroys normal ciliated epithelium impairing drainage from the sinus. Pooling and stagnation of secretions in the sinus invites infection. Persistence of infection causes mucosal changes, such as loss of cilia, oedema and polyp formation, thus continuing the vicious cycle. In chronic infections, process of destruction and attempts at healing proceed simultaneously. Sinus mucosa becomes thick and polypoidal (i.e. hypertrophic sinusitis) or undergoes atrophy (i.e. atrophic sinusitis). Surface epithelium may show desquamation, regeneration or metaplasia. Submucosa is infiltrated with lymphocytes and plasma cells and may show micro abscess, granulations, fibrosis or polyp formation

[1] Acute sinusitis

1.Headache or facial pain or pressure of a dull, constant, or aching sort over the affected sinuses is common with both acute and chronic stages of  sinusitis. This pain is usually localized to the involved sinus and may worsen when the affected person bends over or when lying down. Pain often starts  on one side of the head and progresses to both sides.

  1. Acute sinusitis may be accompanied by thick nasal discharge that is usually green in color and may contain pus or blood.
  2. Often, a localized headache or toothache is present, and these symptoms distinguish a sinus-related headache from other types of headaches, such as tension and migraine headaches. Another way to distinguish between toothache and sinusitis is that the pain in sinusitis is usually worsened by tilting the head forward.
  1. Other symptoms associated with acute rhinosinusitis include

    cough, fatigue, hyposmiaanosmia and ear fullness or pressure.

A 2005 review suggested that most “sinus headaches” are migraines. The confusion occurs in part because migraine involves activation of the trigeminal nerves, which innervate both the sinus region and the meninges surrounding the brain. As a result, accurately determining the site from which the pain originates is difficult. People with migraines do not typically have the thick nasal discharge that is a common symptom of a sinus infection 

[2] Chronic sinusitis:

Symptoms may include any combination of:

1.Nasal congestion

2.Facial pain

3.Headache

4.Night-time coughing

5.An increase in previously minor or controlled asthma symptoms

6.General malaise

7.Thick green or yellow discharge

8.Feeling of facial fullness or tightness that may worsen when bending over

9.Dizziness, aching teeth, and/or bad breath.

10.Often, chronic sinusitis can lead to anosmia, the inability to smell objects.

  1. X-ray of the involved sinus may show mucosal thickening or opacity.
  2. X-rays after injection of contrast material may show soft tissue changes in the sinus mucosa.
  3. Computed tomography (CT) scan is particularly useful in ethmoid and sphenoid sinus infections and has replaced studies with contrast materials.
  4. Dental examination and appropriate radiography aid in ruling out pain arise from a tooth.
