Review & Description
One of the most common reasons for a visit to the doctor’s office is the dreaded sinus infection, otherwise known as rhinosinusitis. Frankly, it’s annoying for physicians as well as for patients due to the lack of satisfying treatment options. Despite this fact, according to Dr. Krakow, healthcare providers do a poor job dealing with this illness appropriately. Among other things, they frequently prescribe an antibiotic for what is primarily a viral infection, which is totally ineffective.
Included as appendices are the Wikipedia articles on sinusitis, head and neck cancers, Wegeners granulamotisis, and Kartageners syndrome, conditions Dr. Krakow mentions as possible causes of sinus related symptoms. The articles have been formatted for the Kindle, with all the hyperlinks and images preserved, and with the original Table of Contents. The purpose is to give you a basis for further investigation.
Dr. Krakow answers the following commonly asked questions about sinus infections:
What is a sinus anyway? And how does it get infected?
Why is it called “rhino” - sinusitis?
How do I know if I have rhinosinusitis?
When should I get antibiotics for rhinosinusitis?
What antibiotic will my doctor use?
How can I treat the symptoms?
Decongestants
Nasal steroids
Nasal irrigation
Can I use Afrin?
What if I don’t get better?
How bad can real bacterial sinus infection get?
