Book Description

December 3, 2002
The most informative book yet on sinus problems, with up-to-date information on diagnosis, treatment, and management

More than thirty million people in the United States suffer from acute or chronic infections of the sinuses, and sinus medicines account for more than four billion dollars in drug sales every year. In some cases, sinusitis can be just a minor nuisance, but often it is much more than that: sinus problems can make life miserable.

Sinusitis Relief is designed to help sufferers of sinus problems seek the treatment that is right for them, starting with the correct diagnosis, and providing all the facts about the most up-to-date treatments and procedures. Sinusitis Relief provides information on
--the various kinds of sinusitis, their symptoms and diagnosis
--the most current information on medication
--how to determine when a surgical procedure is necessary and which one is best
--sinusitis in children, its different manifestations and treatments
--alternative therapies for sinusitis
--new research and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic sinus complaints

With Sinusitis Relief, sinusitis patients are finally given the resources necessary to make informed decisions about their condition and take the steps they need to begin improving their sinus problems, and their lives.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Plasse and Masline, an otolaryngologist and experienced health writer, respectively, present a sometimes overwhelmingly comprehensive and informative book about a common ailment. Indeed, sinusitis is one of the most common health problems experienced by Americans, annually affecting about 14 percent of the population. And because of numerous environmental factors, it is on the rise. There are a plethora of causes and symptoms, and the book pays close attention to them all. In addition, the authors spend a great deal of time discussing the anatomy of the sinuses, related respiratory conditions, and other illnesses that can affect sinusitis sufferers. Although at times overly detailed, this book is very accessible and will help those seeking answers and treatment options. Especially interesting and useful are the chapters on prescription drug treatments, surgical and self-care options, and complementary and alternative medicine treatments. This title is well suited for consumer health collections in public, academic, and health sciences libraries.
