A Really Bad Case of Sinusitis

[SusanMarie]

RP, 56, suffers from what doctors believe is a consequence of a "serious sinusitis." Because of this, the resident of Ormoc (Philippines) has a swelling of his head that is four times the normal size.

The drama began when the Filipino began to have frequent itchy eyes and a red nose. Despite using remedies, the condition only got worse. His last visit to a doctor was last year, and since then he has not been able to afford to continue treatment.

The doctor recommended that Romulo look for a better hospital in Manila, the capital of the Asian country, but that is even more expensive, according to the Metro.

Frequent itchy eyes and red nose............wouldn't it be crazy if he was just having an allergic reaction to something and doesn't know what.....

Sinusitis CAN be caused by an allergic reaction.

Here are some other causes of chronic sinusitis:

Nasal polyps. These tissue growths can block the nasal passages or sinuses....
Deviated nasal septum....
Other medical conditions....
Respiratory tract infections....


From the Mayo Clinic Website:


Overview
Chronic sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis occurs when the spaces inside your nose and head (sinuses) are swollen and inflamed for three months or longer, despite treatment.

This common condition interferes with the way mucus normally drains, and makes your nose stuffy. Breathing through your nose may be difficult, and the area around your eyes might feel swollen or tender.

Chronic sinusitis can be brought on by an infection, by growths in the sinuses (nasal polyps) or swelling of the lining of your sinuses. Also called chronic rhinosinusitis, the condition can affect both adults and children.

Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis include:

Nasal inflammation
Thick, discolored discharge from the nose
Drainage down the back of the throat (postnasal drainage)
Nasal obstruction or congestion, causing difficulty breathing through your nose
Pain, tenderness and swelling around your eyes, cheeks, nose or forehead
Reduced sense of smell and taste
Other signs and symptoms can include:

Ear pain
Aching in your upper jaw and teeth
Cough or throat clearing
Sore throat
Bad breath
Fatigue
Chronic sinusitis and acute sinusitis have similar signs and symptoms, but acute sinusitis is a temporary infection of the sinuses often associated with a cold. The signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis last at least 12 weeks, but you may have several episodes of acute sinusitis before developing chronic sinusitis. Fever isn't a common sign of chronic sinusitis, but you might have one with acute sinusitis.

When to see a doctor
Schedule an appointment with your doctor if:
You've had sinusitis a number of times, and the condition doesn't respond to treatment
You have sinusitis symptoms that last more than 10 days
Your symptoms don't improve after you see your doctor
See a doctor immediately if you have the following signs or symptoms, which could indicate a serious infection:

Fever
Swelling or redness around your eyes
Severe headache
Forehead swelling
Confusion
Double vision or other vision changes
Stiff neck
