Don’t Let Your Sinuses Bring You Down this Season

Don’t Let Your Sinuses Bring You Down this Season

Whether it is an annoying tickle in the back of your throat, or a full-blown congestion that makes your sinuses feel heavy, sinus problems are nothing to sneeze at. Each year, approximately 36 million Americans suffer from chronic sinus problems.

Let’s face it—no one enjoys being unable to breathe through his or her nose. While a cold is often gone within a week, sinusitis can last a lot longer. If you have ever had a cold or allergy attack that just wouldn’t go away, you might be suffering from sinusitis. Dr Meena is an ENT doctor that is available to help you find a solution to your sinus complications. Whether you are experiencing allergies or sinus pain.

Chronic sinusitis symptoms can make you miserable and significantly impact your quality of life. In order to get relief, you need to make the right treatment decision with ENT Dr Meena Nihalani is typically treated with medication first.  Treatment with antibiotics or topical nasal steroid sprays is often successfully in reducing mucosal swelling, fighting infection and relieving obstructions of the sinus opening. Inhaling steam or the use of a saline nasal spray can also help to relieve sinus discomfort.

If medication does not eliminate your symptoms, you may need sinus surgery. The goals of sinus surgery are to clear blocked sinuses in order to restore normal sinus drainage and to preserve normal anatomy and mucosal tissue. Specialized instruments are placed into the nose along with a small endoscope to help the surgeon see inside the nose and nasal cavities.

Because symptoms of sinusitis can sometimes mimic those of colds and allergies, you may not realize you need to see a doctor.  If you suspect you have sinusitis, review the signs and symptoms, and consult Dr. Meena Nihalani an ENT specialist in indirapuram, for further diagnosis.

NASAL POLYPS

Nasal polyps are soft, sac-like growths on the lining of the nose or sinuses.

Causes

Nasal polyps can grow anywhere on lining of the nose or the sinuses. They often grow where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Small polyps may not cause any problems. Large polyps can block your sinuses or nasal airway.

Nasal polyps are not cancer. They seem to grow due to long-term swelling and irritation in the nose from allergies, asthma, or infection.

No one knows exactly why some people get nasal polyps. If you have any of the following conditions, you may be more likely to get nasal polyps:

• Aspirin sensitivity
• Asthma
• Chronic sinus infections
• Cystic fibrosis
• Hay fever

Symptoms

If you have small polyps, you may not have any symptoms. If polyps block nasal passages, a sinus infection can develop.

Symptoms include:

• Runny nose
• Stuffed up nose
• Sneezing
• Feeling like your nose is blocked
• Loss of smell
• Loss of taste
• Headache and pain if you also have a sinus infection

With polyps, you may feel like you always have a head cold.

Exams and Tests

Your doctor will look in your nose. Polyps look like a grayish grape-shaped growth in the nasal cavity.

Your doctor may do a CT scan of your sinuses. Polyps will appear as cloudy spots. Older polyps may have broken down some of the bone inside your sinuses.

Treatment

Medicines help relieve symptoms, but rarely get rid of nasal polyps.

• Nasal steroid sprays shrink polyps. They help clear blocked nasal passages and runny nose. Symptoms return if treatment is stopped.
• Corticosteroid pills or liquid may reduce swelling and other symptoms.
• Allergy medicines can help prevent polyps from growing back.
• Antibiotics can treat a sinus infection caused by bacteria. They can’t treat polyps or sinus infections caused by a virus.

If medicines don’t work, or you have very large polyps, you may need surgery to remove them.

• Endoscopic sinus surgery is often used to treat polyps. With this procedure, your doctor uses a thin, lighted tube with instruments at the end. The tube is inserted into your nasal passages and the doctor removes the polyps.
• Usually you can go home the same day.
• Sometimes polyps come back, even after surgery.

Outlook (Prognosis)

• Removing polyps with surgery usually makes it easier to breathe through your nose.
• Over time, however, nasal polyps often return.
• Loss of smell or taste does not always improve following treatment with medicine or surgery.

Possible Complications

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Polyps coming back after treatment

Prevention

• You can’t prevent nasal polyps. However, nasal sprays, antihistamines, and allergy shots may help prevent polyps that block your airway.
• Treating sinus infections right away also may help.
