Sinuses are located in cheek bones, at the back of noses, in the\u00a0forehead and between the\u00a0eyes. Sinusitis lends additional symptoms such as headaches and facial pain to an inflamed nose and always happens as a result of inflammation starting in the nose.<\/p>\n<p>As both the conditions are so closely related, doctors now use the term \u2018rhinosinusitis\u2019 to describe someone having both an inflamed nose (rhinitis) and inflamed sinuses (sinusitis).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Cause\u00a0Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16490 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l.jpg\" alt=\"31270466_l\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/31270466_l-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most people believe that allergic rhinitis and sinusitis are caused by allergens present in the environment such as dust mites, pet dander, mold and pollen, however Dr. Azida said that the root\u00a0cause is the person\u2019s immune system which has somehow been tuned to \u2018hypersensitive mode\u2019, strongly influenced by genetics.<\/p>\n<p>The mucosa of\u00a0nose and sinuses produce approximately one litre of mucous every day which is moved to the back of the nose by beating cilia and then swallowed subconsciously. &#8220;When inflammation occurs in the nose and sinuses, the cilia stop beating and fail to transport the mucous, which then builds up in the nose and sinuses. At the same time, the mucosal lining swells up and blocks up the ostia (opening) of the sinuses. If an infection sets in, the mucous then changes from a colourless fluid to a greenish pus in the affected sinuses,&#8221; explained\u00a0Dr. Azida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUp to 51% of chronic sinusitis are associated with allergies and result when the inflammation is triggered by allergens or viruses such as the common cold,\u201d\u00a0added Dr. Azida.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms, Associated Ailments and Diagnosis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16491 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"37031694_l\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-696x1043.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/37031694_l.jpg 854w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>The four cardinal symptoms of allergic rhinitis comprise <strong>sneezing<\/strong>, <strong>a runny nose (rhinorrhea)<\/strong>, <strong>nasal itchiness<\/strong> and\/or a <strong>blocked nose<\/strong>. Some people with allergic rhinitis may also suffer from wheezing, red, watery eyes, sore throats and a chronic dry cough. In addition, sinus headaches and &#8216;plugged&#8217; ears are common if nasal inflammation extends to the sinuses as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllergic rhinitis and sinusitis tend to run in families, can last for decades and may lead to many days of missed school or work. It can also affect a child\u2019s or adult\u2019s concentration and performance at school or at work, and how they feel about themselves,&#8221;\u00a0described Datin Swanee.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Azida further added, &#8220;Almost half of allergic rhinitis patients also suffer from asthma as the two conditions affect the same airway. The nose is responsible for cleaning the air that we breathe before it reaches the lungs. If the nose is constantly inflamed, it fails to perform this vital function and the lungs then bears the brunt of it. Unless allergic rhinitis is well managed, one in every three patients with this condition goes on to develop asthma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth allergic rhinitis and sinusitis can cause anosmia or loss of smell due to a blocked nose or an obstructive lesion like a polyp in their nose. In these cases, removal of the obstructive factor may lead to return of the sense of smell. Sometimes, it may not,&#8221;\u00a0cautioned Dr. Azida.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Natural Therapy Research for\u00a0Allergic Rhinitis or Sinusitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Scientists at the Ruder Boskovic Centre in Zagreb, Croatia have successfully formulated a natural, activated Astragalus root extract known as <strong>Lectranal\u00ae<\/strong>, a\u00a0type of herbal medicine which has been rigorously trialled and tested and found to be able to calm hypersensitive noses and sinusitis.<\/p>\n<p>Published in the journal Phytotherapy Research in 2010, treatment with Lectranal resulted in 70% of sensitive noses becoming desensitised after two months of treatment. Lectranal aims precisely at the hypersensitive nature of the immune system which triggers nasal symptoms to appear in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>With Lectranal, the immune system is guided to normal functioning instead of being in a hypersensitive mode each time it meets an allergen such as dust, pollen or temperature changes. The allergen type is not important as Lectranal deals with the root of the hypersensitive immune system, by influencing the way in which the system processes these allergens.<\/p>\n<p>Lectranal works differently from drugs such as antihistamines which help dry a running nose but leaves the root problem of the immune system still &#8211; hypersensitive. This patented herbal extract has also been shown to impart a memory to the immune system so that it recognises allergens in future without irritating nasal symptoms appearing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tips to Manage Allergic Rhinitis and Avoid Sinusitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimise exposure to allergens by closing windows and running air conditioners;<\/li>\n<li>Reduce exposure to allergens such as dust mites and molds, by covering pillows and mattresses with pillow protectors and removing dust-collecting household items, such as carpets, heavy drapes and bedspreads;<\/li>\n<li>Although air purifiers and dust filters can be costly, they may help reduce the amount of allergens in the air;<\/li>\n<li>Saline nasal sprays and humidifiers can help clear congestion; and<\/li>\n<li>Avoid strong \u201csmell-influenced\u201d triggers like perfumes or colognes, flowers and other powerful odours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Source:<\/strong> The above content\u00a0is extracted from an\u00a0article by\u00a0the Nuvaceuticals Division of Nuvanta Sdn.
