According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 29 million Indians are diagnosed with sinus infections yearly. Patients can experience bothersome facial pain/pressure, nasal congestion, headaches, and runny nose, among other symptoms. These symptoms are usually due to blockage of the sinus openings, resulting in infection. Paranasal sinuses, also known as sinuses, are air-filled openings surrounding the nasal cavity. Although paranasal sinuses are not entirely understood, it is believed that they help humidify the air one breathes. Adults have 4 paired sinuses: frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary. Therefore, symptoms may vary based on which sinuses are infected. So here comes the role of Homeopathic Treatment. Homeopathic treatment for sinusitis is effective, gentle, customized, and beneficial for all age groups.
Sinusitis and Its Types
Sinusitis, in simple terms, is an inflammation or swelling of the tissues lining the sinuses. They are air-filled spaces in the skull that open into the nasal passages. Nevertheless, when they become blocked and filled with mucus, germs can grow and cause infections. These infections often happen after a cold or after an allergy flare-up. Following are the four types of sinusitis:
- Acute Sinusitis – Symptoms last less than 4 weeks and get better with the right care
- Sub-acute Sinusitis – Symptoms last 4 – 8 weeks
- Chronic Sinusitis – These symptoms last 8 weeks or longer
- Recurrent Sinusitis – If one has 3 or more episodes of acute sinusitis in a year, it’s called recurrent.
Homeopathy for sinusitis treatment offers a permanent cure to the patient by targeting the root cause of the problem.
Symptoms of Sinusitis
The symptoms of sinusitis may depend on age. However, listed below are the most common symptoms of sinusitis:
Younger children
- Runny nose that lasts longer than 7 -10 days and discharge is often thick green or yellow.
- Cough at night
- Swelling around the eyes
- Occasional daytime cough
Older children and Adults
- Headaches
- Cough
- Fever
- Facial pain
- Bad breath
- Sore throat
- Chest congestion

- Throat drip from the nose
- Eye swelling, worse in the morning
Homeopathic treatment for sinusitis provides symptomatic relief from the condition without causing any side effects.
Causes of Sinusitis
Sinus infections can occur after a cold. The cold inflames the nasal passages and can block the sinus opening, leading to infections. Allergies can also cause the nasal tissues to swell, make more mucus, and cause sinusitis.
Other conditions that can lead to sinusitis are:
- Nose injury
- Tooth infections
- Enlarged adenoids
- Secondhand smoke
- Diving and swimming
- Abnormalities in the structure of the nose
- Forceful and excessive nose-blowing
If mucus drainage is blocked, bacteria can start to grow. This ultimately leads to a sinus infection or sinusitis. The most common bacteria and viruses that cause sinusitis also cause the flu or certain kinds of pneumonia. Homeopathy for sinusitis reduces the frequency and intensity of sinus conditions along with the total removal of the inherent tendency itself.
Often, a Homeopathic doctor can diagnose sinusitis based on the symptoms and a physical exam. However, sometimes other tests are done to prescribe the best Homeopathic treatment for sinusitis. These may include:
Diagnosis of Sinusitis
- Sinus X-rays
- Cultures from the nose
- Blood tests
- Sinus Computed Tomography (CT or CAT scan) – This imaging method uses X-rays and computer technology to make images of the body.
