Many people suffer from chronic sinusitis. Some common symptoms are: runny nose, nasal congestion, loss of smell, and headaches. Unfortunately, after multiple attempts of prescription and non-prescription drugs, there are many who just can’t seem to get better.
In September 1999, the Mayo Clinic published an article stating that 93% of all chronic sinusitis is caused by mold - not as an allergic reaction, but rather as an immune system response to fungus.
Sinusitis develops by breathing in air particles, mold in most cases, that enter the sinuses and lungs. This causes an allergic reaction. Small pits form in the sinus mucosal surface, trapping mucous so that it cannot drain. The stagnant mucous gets infected which causes nasal polyps and thickening of the lining of the sinuses, obstructing the outflow of mucous. The polyps cause more infection and the infection causes more polyps, resulting in a self-perpetuating cycle.
How would one stop this vicious cycle?
Control the air fungi (mold) in your nose and in the air you breathe.
Normal saline nasal irrigation
Antifungal and antibiotic Nasal Sprays
Appropriate use of oral antibiotics antihistamine/decongestants
