Chronic Sinusitis and Homeopathy | Urdu | Hindi | Shahbaz Qamar
Chronic sinusitis is a condition in which the sinuses inside our skull become inflamed for months and years together. This condition can considerably reduce ones quality of life. Patients suffering from chronic Sinusitis complain of difficulty in breathing from nose, headaches, pain and tenderness in the face.
Yellow greenish discharges may also be present from the nose and also from the back of the throat. In most cases, this kind of chronic inflammation in the sinuses is caused by underlying allergic reactions to pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, smoke etc. Homeopathic treatment of chronic sinusitis is very effective and has a strong edge over the conventional treatments. This is because homeopathic medicines along with the treatment of sinusitis cure the underlying allergies too. Thus preventing the recurrence of inflammation in sinuses.
Allergy tops the cause-list for chronic and recurrent sinusitis.

It is usually when this opening gets blocked by swelling in the nose due to common cold or allergies that the symptoms of sinusitis develop.
