The alternative medication is ketorolac (brand name, Toradol). It is in the same class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as Advil and Aleve. Ketorolac does not cause the side effects that narcotic drugs cause, such as itching, nausea, vomiting, constipation and drowsiness, said Kevin Welch, MD, ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/post-sinus-surgery-non-narcotic-pain-medication-is-safe-and-effective-99320-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/antibiotics-not-the-solution-for-viral-sinus-infections-99189-1.htm New Guidelines issued by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) have warned against prescribing antibiotics for sinus as most of the infections are caused by viruses. Nearly one in seven people are diagnosed with a sinus infection each year. Although sinus infections are the fifth leading reason for antibiotic prescriptions, 90 to 98 percent of cases are caused by viruses, which are not affected by antibiotics.

Bloggers and gossips went into overdrive earlier this week after new images of the actress appeared online, and many websites suggested that the 43-year-old actress' swollen look was a clear sign she had opted to get Botox injections in a bid to minimise the effects of ageing.

A biofilm is a thin layer of microorganisms, such as bacteria, that can form on a wide variety of materials, including human tissue. When a biofilm forms on an infection, treatment becomes very complicated, since the bacteria inside it exists in a state that renders it largely immune to antibiotics. Now that bacterial resistance to many antibiotics is growing sharply, such problems are even more of a threat to patients'' health....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/New-Biofilm-Model-of-Sinusitis-90593-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Heat-In-Chili-Peppers-Can-Help-Treat-Sinus-Problems-89684-1.htm A nasal spray containing an ingredient derived from hot chili peppers (ICapsicum annum/I) may help people "clear up" certain types of sinus inflammation. The study, which appears in the August 2011 edition of IAnnals of Allergy, Asthma (and) Immunology/I, compares the use of the ICapsicum annum/I nasal spray to a placebo nasal spray in 44 subjects with a significant component of nonallergic rhinitis (i.e., nasal congestion, sinus pain, sinus pressure) for a period of two weeks.

The most common causes of sinus problems are nasal allergies, a deviated or crooked septum and chronic sinusitis, which can be caused by a combination of infection and allergic reaction, says the Sinus Center's Mark A Zacharek, M.D., associate professor of otolaryngology at U-M.

Before you consider other measures, one of the simplest things you can do is cut down on your exposure to allergens. Allergy avoidance is the key for patients with allergies, says Jeffrey Terrell, M.D., director of the Michigan Sinus Center and professor of otolaryngology at the University of Michigan Medical School.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that the virus, which is associated with up to half of all HRV infections in children, has reproductive properties that differ from those of other members of the HRV family.

The illness strikes millions of Americans each year and is one of the top five reasons patients visit their primary care doctor. Treating sinusitis is difficult in part because it's often not known if the cause is viral or bacterial.

The Henry Ford Health System study is believed to be the first time researchers evaluated the association between secondhand smoke and chronic rhinosinusitis. Chronic rhinosinusitis, or CRS, is a form of sinusitis in which the moist tissues of the nose and paranasal sinuses are inflamed for at least 12 weeks.

The 12 sinuses located around the head drain away the mucous secretions keeping the nasal passages moist. But if this fluid is not drained away because of narrowing, it often builds up leading to infections. Lynda had two sinus operations but her condition remained the same.

The study led by Dr Talal M. Nsouli, showed that daily long-term use might make the infection worse. The research involving 68 patients revealed a 62.2 percent decrease in the frequency of acute rhinosinusitis during the discontinuation phase.
