If a common cold has been bothering you since a month, then it is time to consider going to a doctor to check out the cause. It could be sinus and it could lead to painful headaches as well. The intensity of your sinus headache gives you a reason to try out every possible remedy and medicine that anyone suggests to you. The most unfortunate thing to happen after that is if none of the remedies work and you continue to be tortured from the pain. These headaches are usually a surprise, and the sufferer is not prepared for his life coming to a halt. Sinus can be extremely difficult to treat at times.
If expensive and popular medical treatments and even the basic home remedies have not worked for you, then you need to get to the next level. Also if you are prone to sinus problems and, again, no prescribed remedy seems to be working, so now, prepare yourself for surgery to get a quick, long-term or permanent solution. Sinus surgery is performed by the ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist who is also known as an otolaryngologist. Do not be afraid of a surgical procedure. It helps to improve the system of sinus drainage through the removal of the blockage or by draining mucus. This could mean the removal of -
* Any foreign substance blocking the nasal or the sinus passage.
* Bone so that the opening for mucus drainage could be widened.
* Infected or swollen or a damaged tissue.
* Growths (like polyps) that live inside noses or sinuses.
Factors that indicate the need for surgery -
* The nasal or sinus passage is terribly blocked (maybe by polyps) or infected and you are only left with the option of surgery to achieve proper drainage. Do remember though, that surgery may not completely cure sinusitis and a second procedure may be needed for some.
* You suffer from chronic sinusitis.
* A four to six weeks medical treatment has been followed including medicines, home treatment, antibiotics, steroid spray, other prescribed medicines, etc.
* After the above treatment, tests like MRIs and CT scans were taken because no other reason for the sinus was clear. This will show the reason for improper drainage of your sinuses. Your infection and swellings must reduce so that the doctor understands the cause of your infection.
* Your sinus infection is due to fungus which can never be cured by antibiotics.
* Some other infection has developed way beyond sinus. This is a rare condition.
The extent of your sinus problem would influence the surgery's intensity. Surgeries work the best when a proper medical treatment and home treatment are also continued simultaneously. This also helps you to kick the chances of a second surgery and future problems like this.
