Sick Sinus Syndrome Health Feed

Asked for male, 22 years old from Gorakhpur

Thanks doctor, but consulting a psychiatrist won't help. My main fear is that do we actually have n fowleri amoeba present in water bodies in india, especially underground water. Next can one simply get it my washing face or mere sniffing in a drop while bathing as I found such a concern on quora. My main concern is that even if present in a water body can it go so easily in sinus cavity or one has to force it up like by cleansing sinus, aggressively breathing in or diving/swimming. I had read somewhere that azithromycin is also used to treat it and since once symptoms of pam appear, it is nearly always fatal, I worry using the underground water now, and take the tablets. So does it actually help or I am risking myself for side effects unnecessarily as I also take dilzem cd 120 for hypertension. I know self medication is bad and do not want to take it unless prescribed too. Please just let me know in which situation can the amoeba enter the brain or pose a threat or if in india we don't have this amoeba present in underground water usually as so many people use nal, jet pumps. I had many paid and non paid consultations, I just got a no, it us not caused like that and it is not common in india. Just a bit elaborate reassurance from an experienced doctor will help. And I won't ask queries about this topic again then.

Dear lybrate-user
greetings!
sorry for a delayed response. The best short term treatment is antibiotic cover with steam inhalation. Long term relief can be felt with ayurveda and natural remedies.
For a better understanding of your case and apt advice, you are requested to come for a teleconsultation.
Have a nice day

Dear lybrate-user ji
greetings!
your ct brain shows that as far as your brain and other central nervous system is concerned it is perfectly normal. The only thing of concern are the maxillary sinuses (cheek bone sinuses) that have swelled up due to some infection so it is holding back the mucous secretion. Actually it has to be drained properly in the nose.
So, first things first:
1. You are fine except some sinusitis of cheek side.
2. Take steam inhalation
3. If there is...more

This helps replace the water you lose from having a constantly runny nose. Tasty drinks can encourage little ones to drink more, and the warmth is nice and comforting during the chilly months. Try combining hot water with a squeeze of lemon and half a teaspoon of honey* for a traditional runny nose remedy.

1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected.

Dear lybrate-user
frequent blowing of nostrils can cause tear in the turbinates (read about barotrauma of turbinates). Sinusitis can be treated by some herbs and also some simple methods in ayurveda.
You need to work on your immunity and some lifestyle changes can really help you in a great deal.
To know more, kindly do come in for a telecon with me.
Have a nice day!

You can start homeopathy for her cold problem rather than metaspray. Follow this (what ever she can)
1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
