Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. If the mucous membranes lining the nose become congested and swollen ,the tiny openings into the sinuses become blocked, and no air can get in or out.These are ideal conditions for germs to multiply within the sinuses ,resulting in sinusitis. Sinusitis may follow a cold or hay fever, or even be provoked by rapid changes in air pressure (as occurs in air travel and underwater diving ).Infection of the maxillary sinuses may be caused by sepsis of the upper teeth ,which lie just just under the floor of these sinuses ,or by fracture of the upper jaw. After frequent attacks of acute sinusitis, the lining membrane can become thickened and hypersensitive to quite minor irritants such as cigarette and smoke, spicy foods or thick fog.Attacks then become more frequent and difficult to control.
SYMPTOM:
The symptoms of sinusitis depend both on the severity of the infection and the sinuses involved. In acute sinusitis there is almost always intense pain, due to accumulation of pus in the affected sinus, and the sufferer feels very ill with a high temperature. In chronic sinusitis the pain is often more of a dull ache, but is far more persistent. Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in the upper region of the cheek bones, the forehead and the upper teeth. Ethmoid sinusitis may cause pain whenever the eyes are moved. Frontal sinusitis can cause a vague morning headache, which may be mistakenly attributed to migraine, eyestrain, or some other cause. Sphenoid sinusitis ish liable to cause a persistent discharge of pus down the back of the throat (a post nasal drip') with a cough and possibly chest complications. Of the various forms of sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis is the most common.

Homoeopathic treatment of sinusitis:
Homoeopathic medicines help in controlling the acute inflammation of the sinuses as well as preventing the condition from progressing to a chronic stage. In cases of recurrent sinusitis, homoeopathy medicines can help in reducing the number of attacks as well as the frequency of these attacks.
Regular treatment with Homoeopathy can improve the immunity of the individual so that he does not fall prey to recurrent attacks of sinusitis. It can help in preventing the need for frequent antibiotics, decongestants, etc. that only tend to provide temporary relief. Homoeopathy may also help in avoiding the need for endoscopic sinus surgery for sinusitis as far as possible. All in all, Homoeopathy is strongly suggested for all sinusitis patients and the earlier they opt for treatment, the better the results.
