i have sinusitis. i am suffering from last 2 years. my nose gets blocked often.?

Question

more then that i get crackling sound from my joints. i use cetrizine some times 2 get symptomatic relief. please let me kmow any permanent relief from this.

Answer 1

there is no permanent relief from sinusitis. consult a good ENT specialist, he will advice you. if you want to get a permanent relief better contact a reputed homeopath.

Answer 2

I feel so bad for you as i have a co worker with the same problem, the only relief she is able to get is from using nasal spray, and she says that works, but not permanately of course.
I dont know if there is anything permanent, im sure you have asked a dr? She will clear up from it for periods of time when she is put on strong antobiotics, but since you cant take them on a regular basis it can and probably will come back.
She stays on the anitibiotics for about 2 weeks at a time.
i wish i was more of help for you- one thing that helps for awhile is to use one of those gel masks that go over the eys and the bridge of the nose that you heat up in the microwave .You may have tried this by now also but if not give it a try-they are really inexpensive abd even say on the package you can use them for sinus trouble.

Answer 3

after years of suffering from the same thing I finally gave in and had surgery. Ask your doctor if you have a deviated septum. If you do surgery is the only way to get relief. I had the surgery in 2001 and it has almost cut out any sinus problems all together. When they do act up it is so minor compared to before, its just not a big deal.

Answer 4

Try some Claritin-D or Alavert-D (12 or 24 hour formulation) with the Pseudoephrine 120mg (antihistamine) & loratidine 5mg (nasal decongestant) available over the counter w/o a prescription. Ihave used both for the same problem they have worked wonders.

Answer 5

Treating Sinusitis
Bacterial sinusitis: Therapy for bacterial sinusitis should include an appropriate antibiotic. If you have three or more symptoms of sinusitis (see chart), be sure to see your doctor for diagnosis. In addition to an antibiotic, an oral or nasal spray or drop decongestant may be recommended to relieve congestion, although you should avoid prolonged use of nonprescription nasal sprays or drops. Inhaling steam or using saline nasal sprays or drops can help relieve sinus discomfort.

Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance means that some infection-causing bacteria are immune to the effects of certain antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. Antibiotic resistance is making even common infections, such as sinusitis, challenging to treat. You can help prevent antibiotic resistance. If the doctor prescribes an antibiotic, it is important that you take all of the medication just as your doctor instructs, even if your symptoms are gone before the medicine runs out.

Chronic Sinusitis

If your doctor thinks you have chronic sinusitis, intensive antibiotic therapy may be prescribed. Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove physical obstructions that may contribute to sinusitis.


Sinus Surgery

Surgery should be considered only if medical treatment fails or if there is a nasal obstruction that cannot be corrected with medications. The type of surgery is chosen to best suit the patient and the disease. Surgery can be performed under the upper lip, behind the eyebrow, next to the nose or scalp, or inside the nose itself.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is recommended for certain types of sinus disease. With the endoscope, the surgeon can look directly into the nose, while at the same time, removing diseased tissue and polyps and clearing the narrow channels between the sinuses. The decision whether to use local or general anesthesia will be made between you and your doctor, depending on your individual circumstances.

Before surgery, be sure that you have realistic expectations for the results, recovery, and postoperative care. Good results require not only good surgical techniques, but a cooperative effort between the patient and physician throughout the healing process. It is equally important for patients to follow pre- and postoperative instructions.


Preventing Sinusitis
As always, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To avoid developing sinusitis during a cold or allergy attack, keep your sinuses clear by:

using an oral decongestant or a short course of nasal spray decongestant
gently blowing your nose, blocking one nostril while blowing through the other
drinking plenty of fluids to keep nasal discharge thin
avoiding air travel. If you must fly, use a nasal spray decongestant before take-off to prevent blockage of the sinuses allowing mucus to drain
If you have allergies, try to avoid contact with things that trigger attacks. If you cannot, use over-the-counter or prescription antihistamines and/or a prescription nasal spray to control allergy attacks
Allergy testing, followed by appropriate allergy treatments, may increase your tolerance of allergy-causing substances. If you believe you may have sinusitis, see our tips for sinusitis sufferers.

Start eating lots of garlic(at least 700 gms in the first two months and atleast 500gms thereafter) well cooked with other food like pulao, dals, chole and curries. Avoid milk and other daily products. Only curd should be consumed in large quantities during lunch. YOU should get improvement from a fortnight.

For sinus: Do simple steam inhaling for ten minutes every night before going to bed. Splash cold water on your face after the steam. You can use Cepahagrain nose drops of Charak Pharma twice a day.

Well Aryan, you can take help of Homeopathy or Ayurvedic medicine.
If you want home remedy, then stop drinking milk, dont take any milk products like paneer , curd as well as icecream, avoid ice. When ever you have cough or cold, avoid any alopathy medicine, they only give relief for sometime, but problem persists. Even dont apply vicks or any lotions.
Best is to take ayurvedic medicine like Shetofaladi Churna with honey. Try this take half tbl. spoon of honey mix few drops of ginger juice and tulshi juice.
