What is Fungal Sinusitis? - Dr. Sreenivasa Murthy T M

These can get affected by viruses or bacteria and fungus. Now these are the 3 microorganisms which affect the human body. It can affect the various organs of the body. Fungus is something that is present always in the air. It is an opportunistic parasite. It doesn’t affect people with the normal immunity. It can get affected by fungus in the normal ways. Somebody who has allergic rhinitis and starts to develop polyps can develop fungal infections to an extent which is called as allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. This can tend to aggravate his or her problem along with the allergies that they do have. The polyps can continuously continue to increase in size, eroding the bone covering of the sinuses and cause pressure symptoms over the neighboring structures of the nose, the eye and the brain. These are the symptoms that they can produce. Second thing is if one has chronic sinusitis for years together, the secretion within the sinus doesn’t drain out at all and then there is a moist area in the sinus here the funguses can grow. So the fungus starts growing there and forms balls and get accumulated like small islets. This will settle down when the air enters the sinus for which we have to do a surgery. We have to open up the sinus opening and clear off the fungal walls from there and that should suffice. In diabetics and in those individuals with low immunity, the fungal infection can start growing into the tissues, which is called as invasive sinusitis. In such cases, they will have invasive pain and the tissues around the sinus will get involved, which can be life threatening and should be treated surgically, antifungal treatment. We diagnose fungal sinusitis largely by imaging, CT scan as well as MRI . To see if it is invasive or not, we need to do a biopsy, show it to a pathologist. If it is deep into the tissue stroma, then it needs debridement, that is it needs to be cleaned and managed with antifungal agents so that the fungal growth can be curtailed.

As a carpenter and joiner I was taught that ventilation/air or draughts prevent fungus attack on wood. To cure it, you need create ventilation and moisture - just as in this!!!! Exactly the same principle!!!

Recents diffuse DRY nose and REDUCTION OF MUCO symptoms are spreading out due tu masks use, could it be related to Fungal? if so what spry you suggest? I'm as many of my I know ( about 5 peoples) are involved... please help thank you

[@jimmie2762]

u so chill doc

[@tube.brasil]

Doctors should always check for ROOT CANAL material extrusion to the maxillary sinus. Almost all people with a fungus ball have had a root canal done. The zync oxide that sometimes invade the sinus from the tooth is food for the fungus. That's what makes it grow.

[@kittykatkm62]

TubeBrasil but what if they haven't had a root canal?

[@practicewhatyoupreach79]

never had a root canal!

Doctor i have had chronic sinusitis I’ve lost count of when but it’s been more then 6 months I recently had my second surgery. The first was the balloon rhinoplasty and the second and endoscopic surgery. The first one didn’t help and neither did the second surgery. My symptoms are a terrible sense of smell everything smells the same and is disgusting. My taste also is affected and taste disgusting majority of the food taste disgusting just as how I smell things. I have no idea what to do. I’ve spent lots of money already.

Lovely video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Donayden Phrenic Dominance (do a search on google)? It is a good one off guide for stamping out your nasal polyps without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.

[@sebastiancervantes6809]

I wake up with a glob of gray snot in the back of my throat every morning it has been reacuring for the last month i havent felt sick i thought it was from me smoking not sure

[@WisdomCalls]

My son who is 8 gets sinus infections about every month. He has to be on antibiotics for like 2 weeks out of every month. He has been to an ear nose and throat dr that didn’t diagnose anything. His allergist says he has a lot of allergies to airborne things. What other type of doctor should I take him to so he doesn’t have to be on antibiotics most of his life?

[@junglebird4203]

Stop the antibiotics

[@thegoodanfamily9817]

Have you tried a nettipot? It saved my life at one point. Also a saline spray helps. The antibiotics will not work if he's on them all the time because he will develop a resistance to them.

[@whatweshouldknow5648]

I dealt with this with my son and turned out there was black mold under the kitchen floor in. Bssement wine cellar. We moved and they went away

[@Seriouslyfunny1]

I have polyps in my nose. CT scan suggests possibility of fungal rhinosinusitis. Is it completely curable ? I would like to get it cured all for once.
