Antibiotics
For Sinus Infection
An antibiotic is an amalgamation of two words - 'anti' and 'bacterial'. Thus,
an antibiotic is an agent that destroys bacteria. The Encarta Web Dictionary
defines an antibiotic as 'a naturally produced substance that kills or
inactivates bacteria, but has no effect against viruses'. Antibiotics prevent
bacteria from multiplying inside the body. Antibiotics for sinus infection are
very effective as a treatment.
The inbuild immunity of our body defends against the bacterial diseases. As soon as the symptoms of any illness occur, the antibodies destroy the bacteria. A healthy body is more capable of fending illness than a weak body. In the absence of a strong immune system, the body is incapable of fighting infections and needs an extra push that comes in the form of antibiotics.

Some of the common antibiotics include penicillin, cephalosporins,
fluoroquinolones and macrolides. The bacteria in the human body feed on the
nutrients, that enable them to grow, and then split. The bacteria generate more
cell wall with growth. Pencillin prohibits the bacteria from building cell
walls, thereby, leading to the bursting of bacteria. Amoxicillin is a common
antibiotic for sinus infections.
In a similar way, cephalosporins also destroy the cell wall production by the
bacteria. These are effective antibiotics for sinus infection, particulary for
people who are allergic to penicillin. Macrolides do not directly kill the
bacteria but contain their growth by prohibiting them from multiplying. This
speeds up the work of the body's immune system. Among the class of macrolides,
common antibiotics for sinus infection are erythromycin and clarithromycin.
The latest entry in the world of antibiotics is fluoroquinolones which affect the DNA replication process of the bacteria. Among this class, the most effective antibiotic is maxifloxacin.
The choice of antibiotic depends on a variety of factors including the ability of body to absorb the drug, the body's resistance to the drug, the nature of infection and cost of the drug, to say a few. The antibiotics prescribed vary from person to person in terms of their effectiveness.
Thus, the antibiotics for sinus infection need to be consumed only after a prescription by the doctor, after a detailed analysis of the severity of illness, allergic reactions and side-effects.
Causes
And Cures Of Chronic Sinus Disease
When all medication for colds ceases to work, a person keeps feeling tired all
day, there is intense headache and maybe a fever the person may have a chronic
sinus disease. When one or more sinus cavities get infected, a person has a
disease called sinusitis. Chronic sinus disease is an advanced form of
sinusitis and it may last for three weeks to three months.
Chronic sinus disease can be diagnosed by asking a patient questions about the
areas in which a person feels pain. A person might have pain in the head,
cheeks and upper teeth. Double or slurred vision may also be associated with
chronic sinus. Jarring pain and eyes is also felt in some cases of sinus.
Slow fever is a rarity in chronic sinus disease. It is more prevalent in
children as compared to adults. Chronic sinusitis can only be diagnosed if slow
fever if accompanied by other symptoms like facial pain and swelling.
Certain protective measures can also be taken by people who have a history of
chronic sinus infection symptoms. Using a humidifier and cleaning the nose
properly everyday can reduce chances of future occurrence of sinus infection.
There are several ways of treating a chronic sinus disease. Decongestants,
antibiotics and other form of oral medication can be given. Some doctors flush
the mucous out of the nose using saline water and a syringe. A surgery is the
last option which is done only when other options stop working. The infected
mucous membrane is then removed surgically. This kind of surgery may be done
under local or general anesthesia.
People with chronic sinus also complain of a thick yellow nasal discharge which
is full of pus. They may also be blood tinged. This discharge drains to the
back of the throat and is referred to as post nasal drip.
Chronic sinus disease can be prevented by consulting a good doctor as soon as the first signs of a sinus infection are observed. A chronic sinus can cause unnecessary pain and trouble. Allergies and colds should be treated as early as possible before they turn into sinus. People with a history of asthma and other allergies should stay away from allergens like smoke, dust and pollen.
Causes Of
Bad Taste Sinus Disease
A bad taste in the mouth is not a very good experience. There are times when we
can taste our own bad breath. This is not a very pleasing experience. Sinusitis
is an inflammation of the sinus cavities located in our head. One of the major
symptoms of sinusitis is bad breath and bad taste. This is also known as bad
taste sinus disease.
Normally, the nose and sinuses produce between a pint and a quart of mucus
secretions per day. This passes into and through the nose and picks up dust
particles, bacteria and other air pollutants along the way. Tiny hair like
structure called cilia which line the nasal cavity sweep the mucous to the back
of the throat. Then it is swallowed. The acid in the stomach destroys any
harmful bacteria present in the mucous.
Bad taste sinus disease occurs mostly due to post nasal drip. Sinuses are
basically a part of the nasal passage which produces mucous. When this network
becomes irritated due to some reason like allergy, infection, inflammation, smoke
or pollution it begins to produce more mucous than what is required by the
sinus cavity. This mucous then flows into the throat causing an awful taste in
our mouth.
Bad taste sinus disease is not risky because if the mucous gets swallowed, the stomach destroys any harmful bacteria that are present in the mucous. Sinus can only be risky if it spreads to the brain or the eyes which is very rare. If sinus triggers any other disease like bronchitis, asthma or chronic cough it can be dangerous. Post nasal drip entering the lungs can also be very dangerous.
Bad taste sinus disease is normally accompanied by other symptoms of sinus like headache, fatigue, slow fever, facial pain and tenderness. It can be diagnosed very easily by any medical practitioner.
Treatment of sinus entirely depends on the degree of advancement of the disease. It can be cured by medication or may require surgery or sometimes both. A lot of care and precaution should be taken to avoid bad taste sinus disease. Smoking whether active or passive, should be avoided completely. Proper oral hygiene and proper cleaning of the nose also helps avoiding sinus.
