CHRONIC SINUSITIS & HOMEOPATHY

ei_0386yygChronic sinusitis is a condition in which the sinuses inside our skull become inflamed for months and years together. This condition can considerably reduce ones quality of life. Patients suffering from chronic Sinusitis complain of difficulty in breathing from nose, headaches, pain and tenderness in the face.

Yellow greenish discharges may also be present from the nose and also from the back of the throat. In most cases, this kind of chronic inflammation in the sinuses is caused by underlying allergic reactions to pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, smoke etc. Homeopathic treatment of chronic sinusitis is very effective and has a strong edge over the conventional treatments. This is because homeopathic medicines along with the treatment of sinusitis cure the underlying allergies too. Thus preventing the recurrence of inflammation in sinuses.

Allergy tops the cause-list for chronic and recurrent sinusitis. Other reasons that trigger inflammation in the sinuses are infections like flu, common colds etc. ; blockages in the nose caused by a deviated nasal septum ,polyps and reaction to fungus in air. Sinuses are hollow spaces in our skull (bony structure of the head and the face). There are four pairs of sinuses in our skull. Sinusitis is the inflammation of one or more of these hollow spaces in the skull. These spaces are linked with the nose for free exchange of air by an opening in the nose. It is usually when this opening gets blocked by swelling in the nose due to common cold or allergies that the symptoms of sinusitis develop.

Symptoms of Chronic sinusitis resemble those of acute sinusitis, but usually last much longer and cause more fatigue. The main symptoms of chronic sinusitis are pain in the face and pressure in the areas of forehead, temples, cheeks, and nose and behind the eyes, discharge of a thick yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the back of the throat, obstructed and difficult breathing through the nose, diminished sense of smell or taste, frequent Headache (especially in morning), Teeth pain, Fatigue, Cough, and Sore throat.

As homeopathy is a symptom based system of medicine, the prescription is based upon the symptoms presented by the patient. Many symptomatic factors determine the choice of remedy .i.e. the type of discharges from the nose and throat, the sinus that is involved and other factors like the time of the year when this problem increases also its relation to weather. The main homeopathic medicines used for treating chronic sinusitis are Hydrastis, kali bichrome, Silicea and Merc Sol. Luffa Opercula requires a special mention for treating allergies and sinusitis both. Lemna Minor works well in cases where the sinusitis is complicated by nasal polyps.

At times the treatment of underlying allergy may also require a totally different set of medicines. Prescription based on the detailed study of the patient’s physical and mental makeup (which is also called as constitutional prescribing) is at times required to cure the allergy from the base.

    Hello Dr. Sharma,
    After five years of working at home, I took a job in a daycare center. As an infant teacher,
    I am exposed to lots of germs every day. I wash my hands all the time, but cannot seem
    to escape getting sick. I started on March 9th, and within two weeks, had symptoms of
    a cough, congestion, and aches and pains. Despite several rounds of antibiotics, and a
    round of steroids, these symptoms continue to come back. I am desperate to feel better.
    It’s been 9 months, and I am absolutely exhausted, and not interested in doing anything
    because I feel so rundown and sick. An MRI showed a thickening of the sinus lining. A
    chest x-ray was fine. I would appreciate any and all information you can offer. Thank you
    so much.
    Best,
    Gayle Ward

  18. Hello Sir,

    I am 35 years, male.
    I am suffering with sinusitis since my child hood days. have done polyps surgery twice in my nose almost 15 years back and tonsilitis surgery once 20 years back. Now though i am feeling better than my childhood days, still suffering with frequent throat infection, continuos sneezing, nasal bloackage or congestion, heaviness of head, feeling the fluid accumulation in frontal area and while sweating, getting severe head ache, followed by vomitting, tiredness, loss of appettite, nasal congestion. I would like to get rid of it. Please, suggest me a proper solution / medication.Thanks.

    • Reoccurring sinusitis for 5 years, comes on Nov / Dec – congested nose, congestive headaches. Fatigue very debilitating with the headache. No nasal discharge. Posterior discharge of some stringy mucous, no colour. Avoid all meds normally but desperate after after 4 weeks. Improved for 2 weeks but back again. Face sore to touch. Hot flushes always with it and sweating , affecting my vision this time worse on left side of nose and eye. Have to lie with the fatigue associated with it. Concentration affected too, think have a deviated septum so left side of nose smaller. Think comes with weather getting cooler but I also have rhinitis so infection is ? Secondary to it. Family history mother has sinusitis and bronchitis

  19. dr.s.s.pawar says:
