So, here is that time of the year again when the weather gets depressing and everyone begins to look inwards.
This period is usually characterized by people getting lethargic and the outside activities getting less frequent.
People prefer to stay indoors because of the cold weather.
This absence of physical activity can lead to a weakening of the immune system which invites many sicknesses in the body, including sinus infections, which are also known as sinusitis.
The paranasal sinuses are the names given to the various air filled sacs present in the front side of the face in humans.
There are four pairs of sinuses that are given names on the basis of where they are found in the face.
These are maxillary sinuses, frontal sinuses, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses.
They are all connected to the nasal passage through tiny holes, which help in the passage of air and mucus through it.
These sinuses also contain tiny cilia that are useful in expelling any bacteria or germs that manage to creep in.
The sinuses often get easily infected, especially when the person is suffering from some kind of infection, such as a common cold.
Other cases can also include allergic reactions, fungal infections and weather conditions.
Bacteria often attack the sinuses and lead to many symptoms including severe headaches, fever and congestion.
Sinus infections can also become quite dangerous, if not treated properly.
There is no age limit for people who can be affected by this condition.
Children, youngsters, adults and elderly all are susceptible to this disease.
There are a number of natural treatment options which use simple and inexpensive materials that are easily available.
These treatment methods include hot showers, hot teas, inhalation of steam, aromatherapy using flavors, such as eucalyptus, peppermint and others, which are helpful and also using drops which will provide relief.
These methods are quite effective and can be useful in treating even chronic cases of sinusitis.
However, if you feel that these natural methods are not working for you, then there has also been a lot of research done in this field to come up with newer methods for curing the illness.
Even though the principles are still the same, the methods that are being used are much more advanced.
Aerosolized therapy is one of the latest milestones in this field and is proving quite efficient in treating cases of sinus infections.
The reason why aerosolized therapy is the most effective is that it can be used to reach the infection that is in the remote places of the sinuses, which other methods may not be able to cure.
This results in a better cure process which shows effects more quickly than other methods.
