Chronic sinusitis is a disease of the nasal passage where the nasal cavity remains swollen (inflamed) for a long time period (2-3 months) despite treatment attempts. These attacks may be caused due to cold weather, certain allergies, fungus and weak immunity. The treatment depends upon the type of factor that caused it. Chronic sinusitis can also be a result of nasal polyps, or deviated nasal septum. This condition makes breathing through the nose difficult and results in swollen eyes and nose along with tenderness or pain in the face.

Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic Rhinosinusitisis is a condition that interferes with nasal drainage due to mucus buildup. Treatment options work on these symptoms to treat chronic sinusitis.

Allergy Prevention

Allergy prevention includes two major techniques that help in preventing and managing allergies:

Allergy prevention in terms of management includes the use allergy relief aids such as cough and cold tablets, steam inhalers, nasal moisturizers, nasal irrigators, and nasal sprays. One can also opt for drops and gels to help remove the allergens that cause inflammation of the throat or nose.
Allergy prevention in terms of prevention includes the use of air purifiers and humidifiers. Air purifiers help in keeping the surrounding air clean and pure. They eliminate the allergens such as pathogens, dust, smoke, etc. and aid in preventing allergic reactions. Humidifiers provide artificial heating to prevent the cold environment from drying the mucus or throat and also prevent several respiratory problems.

Nebulizers

Nebulizers are one of the most compact and powerful devices to help treat respiratory disorders. They condense medication into aerosol mist and accurately attack the symptoms causing problems within the lungs and the respiratory tract. From a wide range of hand held nebulizers to compressor machines, they aid in providing comfortable breathing.
Spacers and inhalers are even more compact devices to deliver medication to the lungs and the respiratory tract. They are usually recommended for asthma patients.

Suction Therapy

If the obstructions in the lungs or the respiratory tract are great in volume then one can use suction machines or aspirators to remove the fluid and restore normal breathing function. They come in different suction power levels depending upon the need of the user. They are built to prevent any back flow thus ensuring that the fluid doesn’t enter other orifices of the respiratory tract.

PEP Therapy

Positive Airway Pressure Therapy is used as an efficient airway clearance technique to help deliver medication deeper into the lungs. They multiple compact sizes and are great for on the go cleaning of the airway as well as delivering medication.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are infused with multiple organic qualities that help in clearing the nasal passages and providing comfort to the sinuses. They offer a cooling effect as well as a calming sense to the nose and respiratory tract.
