cough - caused by sinus ?

I cant give you details about the sinus problem but what I can say with certainty is that a sinus problem can cause what is called a post nasal drip.  This means that excretions from the sinuses drip down the back of the throat causing a tickle and a cough.

That can happen. Its just a reflex from the coughing, nothing to worry about. Now, the coughing could be something. Is it just a cold or have you had it awhile...if so, see a doctor, pronto.

Good luck. Antibiotics have always helped. Don't ever wait to long to see a doctor though, the sinus infection could get worse and cause more severe symptoms.

You are most likely getting the sore throat from nasal drainage.  Do you have allergies?  Maybe there is a time in the month that the allergens are more prone to.  Which can just be causing slight sinus issues.  The mucus in your nose is draining by going down the back of your throat.  This is a major irritant for it.  Try some sinus medicine or talk to your doctor to see if they can do an allergy test if you havent figured out what you are allergic to.

Sinus infections are caused when mucous can't flow to remove the germs it has trapped.  Don't take an antihistimine IF it is a sinus INFFECTION.  For allergies or colds ,an antihistimine will reduce the watery mucous.  S INF have thick green,foul mucous.  Drinking lots of water, decongestants and keeping the mucous flowing will help. But an antibiotic may be necessary. S inf can be caused by funguses too and steriods can help then.  Chronic sinus infections happen when you have blockages/polops, allergies,  or using antihistimines too much.  Saline sprays and washes help too.  If Chronic see an ENT doctor.

NEVER sniff! Only blow! That is the KEY. All you can do is lessen the symptoms, not eliminate them. Blowing stuff out gets rid of it for good. Sniffing it only tucks it back up there, each time gathering more bacteria, making your more congested, causing post nasal drip which can cause a secondary infection like a sore throat or a sinus infection, ONLY to return and be sniffed AGAIN. You will probably never get them if you blow instead of sniffing. Best tip a doctor ever gave me.

Hi Wendy\n\nHere are some ideas to use to get healed.\n\nSymptoms of Sinusitis\n\nSymptoms of sinusitis include head and nasal congestion, postnasal drip, headache, head and facial pain, chronic fatigue, impaired sense of smell, fever, hoarseness, and laryngitis. These symptoms tend to be more pronounced for cases of chronic sinusitis, compared to cases of acute sinusitis.\n\nCauses of Sinusitis\n\nOver the course of the last few decades, there has been an increase in the incidence of sinusitis in the U.S. and other industrialized nations that is directly related to a corresponding increase in air pollution and unhealthy indoor air, making unhealthy air and air pollution the two main factors of sinusitis. Other environmental causes of sinusitis include cold and flu viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, excessively cold or dry air, cigarette smoking, and regular exposure to secondhand smoke.\n\nSinusitis can also be caused or exacerbated by food allergies and sensitivities, dental and gum disease, stress, lowered immunity, structural problems within the nasal cavities (such as a deviated septum), nasal cysts and/or polyps, and unresolved emotions, especially anger. Candiasis (systemic yeast overgrowth) and the overuse of pharmaceutical drugs, especially antibiotics, are two other common causes of sinusitis.\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nAromatherapy: Inhaling the steamed vapors of the essential oils camphor, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, pine, or tea tree can help improve breathing and aid in fighting infection. \n\nDiet:If you suffer from sinusitis, you need to be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods that you are allergic or sensitive to. In addition, avoid all sugar and sugar products, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy products, soft drinks, commercially processed foods, and all foods containing artificial ingredients, such as additives, colorings, flavorings, and preservatives (such as BHA, BHT, sodium nitrite, sulfites, saccharin, aspartame, and cyclamates). Also minimize your intake of milk and dairy products, and coffee and other caffeine products, as well as red meat, salt, refined carbohydrates (white breads, pastries, commercial pastas), corn, chocolate, and unhealthy fats (hydrogenated or trans fats).\n\nDrink plenty of pure, filtered water (at least eight ounces every two hours; or for best results, add fresh squeezed lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper) and fresh squeezed, organic vegetable juices throughout the day, as well as hot broths and soups. Diluted organic pear juice can also be helpful, in order to loosen up lung congestion. Also emphasize organic, whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, organic, free-range meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish. Garlic, cayenne pepper, chili peppers, horseradish, and onions should be eaten regularly, due to their powerful health benefits for the lungs and respiratory system. Organic, extra virgin olive oil should also be used liberally.\n\nAccording to leading naturopathic physician and researcher Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., President Emeritus of Bastyr University, a vegan diet can significantly improve symptoms of most respiratory conditions, including pneumonia. Such a diet involves eliminating all animal products, as well as fish, eggs, milk, and all other dairy products. Grains should also be avoided, or eaten in minimal amounts. Dr. Pizzorno advises limiting your fluid intake to pure, filtered water (avoid chlorinated, fluoridated tap water), and emphasize plenty of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, especially romaine lettuce, carrots, beets, onions, celery, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, radishes, Jerusalem artichokes, beans (except soy and green peas), blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cloudberries, black currants, gooseberries, plums, and pears.

In the majority of cases, coughs are caused by respiratory infections, including:\n• colds or influenza, the most common causes of coughs\n• bronchitis, an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchial tubes\n• croup, a viral inflammation of the larynx, windpipe, and bronchial passages that produces a bark-like cough in children\n• whooping cough, a bacterial infection accompanied by the high-pitched cough for which it is named\n• pneumonia, a potentially serious bacterial infection that produces discolored or bloody mucus\n• tuberculosis, another serious bacterial infection that produces bloody sputum

Drink plenty of fluids, take lots of Vitamin C, use chelated zinc lozenges or take zinc tablets. (I prefer the zinc tablets. Remember to always take zinc on a full stomach and avoid large doses. Doing otherwise can cause severe nausea and the body will usually reject it.) Hot and spicy foods are also good for the sinuses. Echinacea can help (avoid if you have immune problems) as well as garlic tablets (remedy not approved by the FDA). Always check with your doctor before starting a new regimen, especially if you regularly take prescription meds. \n\nYou can prevent colds with good nutrition, Vitamin C, multivitamins, regular exercise, and by taking care of yourself to promote a strong immune system.\n\nMany doctors recommend that if you use Vicks Vapo-Rub or a similar product, use as directed on package. Do not apply around or inside nostrils because inhaling particles directly can, over time, cause a type of pneumonia that cannot yet be cured because we have not found a way to remove petroleum jelly from lung tissue.

What is a cough?\n- Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign material or mucous from the lungs and throat.\n- Patients seek medical treatment for cough more than any other complaint and treatment costs exceed $1 billion dollars annually in the U.S.\n- The two general classifications of cough are productive coughs (producing phlegm or mucous from the lungs) and nonproductive coughs (dry and not producing any mucous or phlegm).\n- Coughs are also divided into acute (less than 3 weeks' duration) and chronic (more than three weeks' duration).\n\nSome causes of coughing\n- Acute cough is most often caused by the common viral upper respiratory tract infection. The cough is usually secondary to stimulation of nasal, pharyngeal, and laryngeal mucosa receptors. This results from the secretions of the nose and sinuses draining into the throat.\n- A dry cough may follow viral illnesses and may last up to several weeks.\n- Chronic cough may be caused by a variety of underlying diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis, allergies, GERD and chronic post nasal drip.\n- Smoking is a major cause of chronic cough.\n- Certain medications (ACE inhibitors for hypertension) cause coughing as a side effect.\n\nTreatment of coughs\n- Treatment of a cough should be directed at the underlying cause of the cough.\n- Antitussives are useful in suppressing dry, hacking coughs. (Specific products may be recommended by a physician or pharmacist.)\n- Antitussives should not be given when the cough is productive and the patient is bringing up mucus. If the cough is keeping the patient awake at night, then their use at bedtime is indicated.\n- Antihistamines and decongestants may be a good choice for treating coughs associated with post nasal drip. (Specific products may be recommended by a physician or pharmacist.)\n- Expectorants are useful to help break and bring up mucous. (Specific products may be recommended by a physician or pharmacist.)\n- For patients with underlying disease states causing the cough, treatment should first be based on treating the underlying disease.\n\nA physician should be called if: \n- the patient is producing green, yellow, or rusty colored sputum. This is usually the result of an infection.\n- the cough lingers more than 7 to 10 days after other symptoms have cleared.\n- any cough lasts longer than two weeks.\n- a persistent fever is present or if the coughing up of blood occurs. \n*RZ*

Have your pupils always been unequal, or is this a new problem?  If it is new, have you recently had any trauma to the head or neck?  It is not uncommon to have a headache when you have a persistant cough... all in all, schedule a doctor appointment asap.

i would say no. it usually is caused by allergies. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the lining of one or more of the sinus cavities in the facial bones around your nose. Sinusitis can make life miserable, causing tenderness in your face, aching behind your eyes and difficulty breathing through your nose.\n\nMost cases of sinusitis are acute infectious sinusitis, which generally lasts less than four weeks. If the signs and symptoms of sinusitis last more than 12 weeks, or if you have frequent bouts of sinusitis, you may have chronic sinusitis.\n\nChronic sinusitis is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States, affecting an estimated 33 million people each year. Treatment may be with medications or, in some cases, surgery\n i tried many meds and now take singulair and that works i can breathe again.
