Cavities Of Facial Bones

Are getting cold and headaches frequently? Wondering what must be the problem with your nose and headache? Don’t think it is a normal cold and headache for which an aspirin is enough; it might be a problem with sinuses which lead to a chronic bacterial infection if left untreated.
Now, let’s see what actually sinuses are, sinuses are small gaps or say cavities within our facial bones. There are four pairs of gaps, located on either side of the nose in your cheeks, behind and between the eyes, in the forehead, and at the back of the nasal cavity, namely
1. Ethmoid: present b/w nose n eyes
2. Frontal: above the eyes
3. Maxillary: cheek bones
4. Spenoid: behind ethmoid and eyes.
And now what is the use of these cavities, some scientists say that, presence of these gaps lighten up our skull , they help in resonance of our voice and they also help in exchange of mucus and air. Mucus membrane is a thin layer covering the nasal cavity which produces the mucus. When you get cold or any allergies the layer gets irritated and swollen and produces more mucus. When mucus and air get trapped inside the sinus, problem occurs, which is cold and headache called as sinusitis. When the problem is not checked immediately, it might lead to bacterial infections. You know, how much these tiny organisms like our bodies, to play their games and live happily ever. Symptoms are headache, fever, cold, fatigue, facial swellings, mucous discharge, etc. we can control sinus with our diet itself, we can eat green vegetables, fruits, salads raw garlic and onions plenty of water n juices, ginger and cinnamon tea is preferred,avioid oily and junk foods avoid sweets, milk products, cool drinks and ice creams. Prevention is better than cure, especially in the case of this sinusitis. Because when the sinusitis become chronic, a endoscope surgery must be done or else the person must bear the headaches and irritating cold till he dies. Even though the surgery is painful, the results are good, they suck out the blocked mucus and and leave the cavities (gaps) empty and clear.
