SINUSITIS
by Dr. Rajesh Shah
Definition:
Sinus means cavity, especially a cavity of the skull bone.
Sinusitis means inflammation of the sinus linings. The
phrase Sinusitis is used more commonly for inflammatory
disorder of one or more of the skull sinuses, more of
maxillary sinus. Either infection or allergy may lead to the
sinusitis, giving rise to symptoms of thin or thick nasal
discharge, congestive headache or face ache, nose-block,
fever, etc.
Remarks:
Frequency of chronic sinusitis is common with those
individuals who have a proneness to have attacks of
sinusitis, basically due to inherent tendency. What needs to
be treated is not only the acute infection or inflammation,
but inherent tendency to have sinusitis.
Individual tendency to frequent upper respiratory infections
or sinusitis can best be treated with homoeopathic approach
of individual based treatment.
Suggestion about homeopathic
treatment:
Recurring sinusitis finds wonderful treatment with
homoeopathy. Homoeopathy treats acute infections as well as
the tendency to have infections or allergy. It is almost
always possible to avoid antibiotics and sinus surgery if
one adopts homoeopathic alternative.
Homoeopathy is strongly indicated for sinusitis. |
