Various Causes of Your Sinus Problem

on Friday, November 30, 2012

If you suffer from sinus problems, then you must know their causes. Your sinus may be because of some reason which is unknown to others who face the same disease. This could change the treatment procedure and the way you take care of yourself. Here are a host of causes for sinus -


* Droppings of dust mites - They could reside in your bedding or your mattresses. Wash them with hot water and clean your carpets with a vacuum cleaner. Buy some zipped covers to protect your pillows and mattresses.


* Cigarette smoke - Both, active and passive smoking can cause sinus problems. Your cavity lining could swell up and cause sinusitis. Even smoke from the fire extinguishers or forest fires can cause sinus.


* Dust - Your sinus could swell up and block the passages due to dust particles. You may get exposed to these while working or living in such conditions, especially when you stir up dust while going through some old stuff. Wear a mask in such situations.


* Polluted Air - If the air is polluted or smoggy, it is enough to stir up sinus problems. So, either stay indoors or keep the windows of your car and home closed and keep your nose moist. Dry air can play havoc with your sinuses.


* Common cold - Nasal tissues can swell up and the holes through which mucous drains out, can get blocked. This is because of the virus of the cold. Since antibiotics only kill bacteria; you can use decongestants but not for more than four to five days. Avoid dependence on them. If your common cold develops into bacterial sinusitis, then treat it through the help of antibiotics.


* Sinus infections can also be caused by fungus. Allergies can also trigger off a sinus problem. Combination of sinus and allergies is a troubling one and lots of precautions must be taken to avoid allergies at all costs.


* Nasal Polyps - These little growths develop from sinus tissues and block sinus cavities. The mucus cannot drain and this leads to sinus infection and bad headaches.


* Chlorine can cause irritation to your sinuses and nasal linings. So do not swim for a long duration. Even diving into the water could inflame your nasal tissues by pushing the water in your sinuses.


* Reduced pressure in-flight - Use decongestants drop or an inhaler right before your takeoff to clear your sinuses.


* Prolonged usage of the over-the-counter sprays.


* Conditions like diabetes, HIV, cystic fibrosis, etc can make your body prone to sinus problems too.


Do not let your sinus symptoms turn into a full-fledged sinus infection. Sinus can be treated, if you start with the right approach and first of all, identify the cause of it. Sinus is a troublesome problem, but there are cures for it. So do not delay the treatment or ignore the symptoms.
