Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / January 2006Is dry cough the initial symptom of asthma?
Got such cough lately though here is tropical, since my nose is allergetic to cold weather and dust, so I am concerned that every minute I may get asthma. What are the early signs of sinusitis's conversion into asthma? >Got such cough lately though here is tropical, since my nose is allergetic >to cold weather and dust, so I am concerned that every minute I may >get asthma. What are the early signs of sinusitis's conversion into asthma? If it's any consolation to you I have had a light cough for 20 years without its developing into asthma. I can see that is purely secondary to sinusitis and it improves as my sinusitis improves.... > >Got such cough lately though here is tropical, since my nose is allergetic > >to cold weather and dust, so I am concerned that every minute I may [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I can see that is purely secondary to sinusitis and it improves as my sinusitis > improves.... OMG, last new year holiday was nightmare. Everyday caugh, nose always drop thin liquid and stuck, and first three days simply couldnt sleep. I am concerned with whether sinusitis can transmit over the air, since the boy in my next room was treated with medicines I suspect maybe for sinusitis, so those few days my sinus was also very very bad. Though mine went through with some simple panadol and outdoor/park activities, I want to know, whether this disease transmit over the air? In that house we share same kitchen and hall but I seldom went except taking some water, and my room has huge window and well ventilated. >OMG, last new year holiday was nightmare. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >went except taking some water, and my room has huge window and well >ventilated. Flu and infections that cause sinusitis can be airborne and spread among those in close proximity....... >I am concerned with whether sinusitis can >transmit over the air, since the >boy in my next room was treated with medicines >suspect maybe for sinusitis, so >those few days my sinus was also very very bad. >Though mine went through with some >simple panadol and outdoor/park activities, I >want to know, whether this >disease transmit over the air?

I practice very good hand washing to avoid colds and flus and subsequent sinus infections. Don is right that they do transmit via the air but you can greatly minimize your chances if you wash your hands before eating, preparing food, after coming in from outside, stores, work place, before nasal washing etc., as well as the obvious times after using the bathroom. You don't need to use anti bacterial soap. Just regular soap with warm water, getting up a good lather of soap to wash away the germs. Also don't share hand towels at home with any family member that is sick. Wash and replace your bathroom hand towels twice weekly in winter. Avoid touching your face, mouth, nose, eyes. All these things are commonsense but being particularly careful is helpful. If you really want germ preventing ideas read "The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu" by Allison Janse. She was recently featured on 20/20 program on ABC. |
