How To Get Rid Of Catarrh - Catarrh is a mucus discharge, which may be thick or thin and can become infected. Catarrh is a symptom of a disease or infection. If the catarrh is chronic it may be a symptom of an allergy. The best way to get rid of catarrh is to understand its underlying cause. The conventional drug treatment is decongestants which should only be used for the short term. There are non-drug catarrh remedies that are safer for adults and children. These include homeopathic, home and natural remedies. They can be helpful in easing the symptoms of runny nose, stuffy nose or swollen sinuses. The air can be very dry in the winter. Pulsatile Irrigation, ENS, and Other Sinus Issues - A Discussion - Part 2 - Secondly, I read the story on sinu-clear laser surgery. I am not familiar with this particular surgery, although it does seem interesting. However, some people who have laser surgery to reduce their turbinates end up with a similar version of empty nose; Dr. Pulsatile Irrigation, ENS, and Other Sinus Issues- A Discussion- Part 1 - I recently have had several contacts with Mr. Chris Martin. Chris is one of the driving forces behind the ENS Symposium. ENS stands for "Empty Nose Syndrome", a condition suffered by patients who have had their turbinates totally or partially removed during sinus surgery. This is a practice that was once considered harmless, but in recent years it has proven to be very harmful indeed. For those not familiar with the term pulsatile irrigation, it refers to nasal irrigation done by a small appliance that sends pulses of saline solution into one nostril, and the solution exits from the other nostril. Why Post Nasal Drip Occurs So Rampantly (When There Are Quick Natural Cures) - Post nasal drip is a condition where thin, watery mucus discharge drips into the back of the throat from the nasal passages. Do You Recognize The 7 Early Warning Signs Of Nasal Polyps? - Nasal polyps are small nodules inside the nasal passages. They can be the cause of post nasal drip, sinus problems and can even obstruct breathing. Knowing the early warning signs of nasal polyps can help you diagnose and treat the problem. If you have any of these symptoms or warning signs, you should discuss them with your doctor. He can perform some tests to diagnose the nasal polyps and will recommend the proper treatment. Know Your Headache Type - Do headaches tend to weigh you down? Do they hamper your productivity by preventing you from accomplishing what you need to do at work or at home? Do they hinder you from living the way you wanted to? If truth were known, millions of people out there share these exact sentiments. In fact, headaches are so prevalent that they are considered to be one of the most common ailments plaguing our society today. How To Take Good Care Of Your Nose? - A patient once had asked to a doctor about what did he need to do to take good care of his nose. The doctor simply and straightforwardly replied to the patient that what was more important was what not to do to your nose. Bad habits such as nose-picking, sniffing, rubbing, blowing the noses hard or stuffing things such as tissue and handkerchiefs up to the nostril can do a lot of harm to your nose. Generally, nose will take good care by itself. Physiologically, when we breathe in air in our lung, nose will warm, clean and humidify it. When we breathe out the air from our lung, it will cool and remove the water from the air. Besides using for breathing, nose is also the organ of smell and allows us to speech with a quality voice. Sinus Pressure Relief and Air Travel- 4 Steps to Take - Many people have a tendency to come down with sinus infections during or after air travel. The four steps discussed in this article can help provide sinus pressure relief for those who travel by air on a regular basis. There are a number of reasons why people who are susceptible to sinus infections tend to contact them during air travel. ENS Means Significant Nasal Problems - If you've ever had a sinus operation or are thinking about having one, you need to be aware of one of the most tragic of nasal problems, ENS. ENS stands for Empty Nose Syndrome. This condition causes nasal problems in some people that can be devastating. The condition is tragic because it is doctor induced. That is, when nasal turbinates are extracted in whole or in part during sinus surgery, the condition can subsequently occur, sometimes taking 5 or 6 years to manifest itself. Turbinates can swell and cause blockages in nasal cavities, leading to sinus infections. Thus, cutting out turbinate tissue during sinus surgery used to be a common practice. It is now better understood that these turbinates are part of a system that regulates the flow of air through the nose and into the lungs. Nasal Polyps - A Primer - Nasal polyps are a well known cause of sinus pressure and pain and occur in the nasal and sinus passages of many people. Chronic sinus sufferers may have anatomical obstructions in their nasal and sinus cavities, and nasal polyps are one of the most common of these. This article will briefly discuss the causes and effects of having nasal polyps. Doctors are not 100% certain what the precise causes of nasal polyps are. In general it is thought that chronic inflammation in the nasal cavities can cause polyps to grow, often resulting in blockage of the sinus passages and resulting in infections. Sinusitis Cures - A New Treatment Therapy is Available - I am one of the 35,000,000 Americans who suffer from chronic sinusitis. I've looked at numerous potential sinusitis cures over the years and have undergone two painful sinus operations. I still was coming down with sinus infections after that, which was pretty discouraging, and I had to make lifestyle changes I wasn't pleased with. Over the past four years or so I've found help using pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution, and the situation is relatively "under control". I still get clogged up most nights, however, and have to take several medications, including a steroid spray. Research has been done by the Mayo Clinic in the hope of finding new sinusitis cures. Sinusitis Treatment - Help is on the Way - Mayo Clinic researchers have made great strides in recent years regarding sinusitis treatment and have come up with a new therapy for chronic sufferers called topical antifungal therapy. This particular sinusitis treatment is still new and is not widely practiced. Recurring Sinus Infection - An Explanation? - As part of our efforts to chronicle the experiences of sinusitis sufferers, a gentleman named Carlton contributed a "Sinusitis Treatment Success" story. He pointed out a study conducted by the Mayo clinic and the University of Buffalo addressing the issue of recurring sinus infection. It states that "chronic sinusitis is an immune disorder caused by fungus." I asked Carlton in a follow-up email if he had tested positive for fungi in previous allergy tests, and here is his response: "Hello Walt: I had 2 different allergy tests, both negative. The Mayo/U. Common Sinus Infection Symptoms - You feel terrible and your cold just won't go away. Is it really a cold or has it turned into something more? Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell the difference. Please be aware that you are not alone. Sinus infections affect millions of Americans every year. Depending on which of the four sinus cavities are affected the symptoms of a sinus infection may vary. There are also different types of sinus infections, one being acute and the other being chronic. Interestingly, in 1999, the Mayo Clinic released its findings that fungus is likely the cause of nearly all cases of chronic sinusitis. When a Cold Is No Longer Just a Cold - You caught a cold but it hasn't gone away yet and breathing through your nose is still difficult. You feel a throbbing or pounding in your face or behind your eyes. What started out as a cold may have progressed into something called sinusitis. Sinusitis is simply another name for a sinus infection, which is literally an infection of your sinus cavities. The sinuses are air-filled spaces found in the bones of the head and face. Sinus infections affect millions of Americans every year. Not all colds turn into sinus infections, but colds are a common cause of acute sinusitis. Acute sinusitis is a sinus infection having a rapid onset and following a short but sever course. Sinus Headache - A Common Sign of Chronic Sinusitis - By definition, a sinus headache is a headache caused by pressure inside the sinus cavities of the head, most often in connection with an infection of the sinuses. Common symptoms of a sinus headache may include pain and tenderness in the sinus area, discharge from the nose, and swelling of the face. Often times it can be misleading to use the term headache in this way as recent studies indicate that a 'sinus headache' is often misdiagnosed by the sufferer and may instead be a tension headache or a migraine headache. Sinus Infections: Fungus May be to Blame - Sinus Infections also known as Sinusitis affect millions of people each and every year. A sinus infection is literally an infection of your sinuses, which are hollow passages or cavities inside of your head. These sinus cavities can become a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses or fungus. Sinus Infection Symptoms - What Should You Look For? - Is it a sinus infection or a common cold? Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the difference. Sinus Irrigation Using a Neti Pot vs Pulsating Sinus Irrigation - In a previous article I discussed the pulsating sinus irrigation system using a Water Pik or Hydro Pulse device. This is certainly the system that works best for me, but before finding out about this procedure I tried doing sinus irrigation with a neti pot. Many ENT doctors recommend using a neti pot for sinus irrigation. This is a vessel that looks somewhat like a small teapot with a long, thin neck. A saline solution is mixed in the pot, and one places the end of the neti pot into a nostril while bending over a sink. To do this one bends over as if looking up to the ceiling. Post Nasal Drip - What Works for Me - "Postnasal drip is an unscientific term that refers to the sensation of thick phlegm in the throat which can become infected". So says Dr. Murray Grossan in his book "The Sinus Cure, 7 Simple Steps". He goes on to explain that this is caused when our cilia-mucous system is not functioning properly and how pulsating nasal irrigation can help correct this situation.
