Sinusitis, coryza ,homoeopathic medicines.

Sinusitis develpoes due to inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection is generally associated with cough, fever, bad breath and nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions. Sinusitis is categorized as acute or chronic.Chronic type is more common. A sinus infection can cause headache,pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area and in one side of the head.
In the human skull,there are four major pairs of hollow air filled sacks called sinuses which function is to insulate the skull. The four sinuses are Frontal sinuses (in the forehead), Maxillary sinuses (behind the cheek bones), Sthmoid sinuses (between the eyes) and sphenoid sinuses (behind the eyes). These connect the space between the nostrils and the nasal passage.
Sinus Infection Causes are Viral infection,allergens,pollutants,fungi.
The sinuses have their defense system against foreign bacteria. If the normal defense inside sinuses get disrupted , then the bacteria which are normally present in the nasal passages enter any of the sinuses and the bacteria may stick to the lining cells and cause a sinus infection.The viral infection causes damage to the cells of the sinus lining which leads to inflammation. The lining get thickened with fluid and obstructs the nasal passage. This passage connects to the sinuses. The obstruction disrupts the process of bacteria removal which are normally present in the nasal passages. Due to this disruption bacteria begin to multiply in number and attack the lining of the sinus. This causes sinus infection. Allergens , pollutants,fungi produce the similar effect.
Sinusitis harm and cause damage to the mucous lining of the sinuses and surrounding bone of the skull which are restored after proper treatment
