Chronic 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.
My daughter 8 years old is suffering from sinusitis having symptoms on face pain all the time, please advise medicine
I am suffering from sinus and water retention in my fore head
I have chronic sinus pain, heat is my only relief. I use a netty pot, do saline rinse. Cold drinks, second hand smoke, dust,sugar,caffeine, dairy all agitate the left side of my face I have swallowing under my eye and puffy cheek. I’m 2000 out of pocket and can’t get relief
I suffer from air hunger, could this be because I have a slight deviated septum and sinusitis ?
Dentist said upper back tooth needed a crown. Within 2 days of the crown being put on, I got clogged sinuses. Never had sinus problems or allergies before this. This led to abcess on gum of crowned tooth which led to an antibiotic & caused 2 root canals on the next 2 teeth. I then got post nasal drip which caused a lump sensation in my throat. This has also worked down into my bronchials. All this has caused lots of inflammation & difficulty breathing. The latest is shortness of breath while walking or even slight exertion. I have been to several Dr’s, & I have had the two root canals removed. Tried all kinds of supplements, herbs etc. The one thing that has relieved my post nasal drip is kali bich. That has also relieved most of the inflammation, mucus upon walking, or exertion. I still have some congestion back of sinus upon waking & getting up. This is with inflammation upon walking or exertion but not near as bad as it was & slowly liquifies & moves out in a post nasal drip.. What do you recommend I take to finish this completely. Thank you. I will be forever grateful for you quick response.

Hi
I am a 26 year old male. I’ve been experiencing sinus problem for more than 3 years now. I have asthma history as well which at 18 years of age got better to the extent of being nil. Now due to this and being claustrophobic I have severe anxiety problems which disturbs my daily life. I’ve been treated for anxiety and depression as well. This time of the year when winter is about to start I have started feeling numbness around my nose and which happens to trigger my anxiety. Which results in digestive problems and in the end results in weight loss to me being skinny. I feel light nose and numbness and when I walk in winters outside it is like I will start panicking because I can’t feel my nose. Because there is so much numbness. Please help me.
