Good Samaritans TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: June Stouder and BeUy Holderman have told me the following story about two young ‘‘Knights in Shining Armor.” As they were unloading numerous cartons of food from their cars, to take inside the United Methodist Church for the blood drive canteen, two young boys happened to be walking by. They saw the women with all the boxes of food, and offered to help. Although the names are not known, the boys did mention that they were Scouts. The ladies appreciated the help, and asked how they might reward them, but the boys told June and Betty that they were Scouts, and their job was to serve. They did accept a few cookies in appreciation for their services. Thanks, boys, Bobbie Wilson

Whet Do Sinuses Do? Similes are put of the nasal air and membrane system that produces mucus. Normally, the nose and sinuses produce between a pint and a quart of mucus and secretions per day. This mucus passes into and through the nose, sweeping and washing the membranes, picking up dun particles, bacteria, and other air pollutants along the way. The mucus then flows backward into the throat where it is swallowed, down into the stomach where adds destroy any dangerous bacteria. Most people do not notice this mucus flow because it is just a normal bodily function. What Is “Post-Nasal Drip” When the nasal passages are irritated by allergies, air pollution, smoke, or viral infections (such as a "cold"), then the nose and sinus membranes secrete more than the normal amount of mucus. This will be a dear, watery, and profuse mucus that is supposed to wash away the irritation or allergy. This is the most common type of "post-nasal drip.” Another form of "post-nasal drip” is mucus that is thick and sticky. This occurs when the air is too dry and the nose membranes cannot produce enough moisture to put into the mucus for it to flow easily. Bacterial infections also produce thick, sticky mucus with pus in it, turning it yellow or green color. What Is Sinusitis? “-itit" is fe medical term for infection or inflammation, so "sinusitis" is an infection or inflammation of the sinuses. A typical case of acute sinusitis begins with a cold or “flu" or an allergy attack that causes swelling of the nasal membranes and increased watery mucus production. The membranes can become so swollen that the tiny openings from the sinusfes became blocked When mucus and air cannot flow easily between the nose rod sinuses, abnormal pressure* occur in the sinuses, and mucus can build ap in them. This creates a

SINUS

pressure-pain in the forehead # face, between and behind the eyes, or in the cheeks and upper teeth, depending on which sinuses are involved. A blocked sinus cavity filled with mucus becomes a fine place for bacteria to grow. When a person's "cold" lasts more than the typical week or to, and when his mucus turns yellow/green or develops a bad odor or taste, then a bacterial infection has probably taken over. The pressure and pain in the face and forehead can be quite severe in acute bacterial sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis occurs when the sinus opening is blocked for an extended period. Headaches are lest prominent in chronic sinusitis, but congestion and unpleasant nasal secretions usually persists. Also, fleshy growths known as polyps can develop at an exaggerated form of inflammatory swelling of the membranes. Some cases of sinusitis come from infections in the upper teeth that extend into the sinuses. Is Sinusitis Dangerous? Most cases of sinusitis respond promptly to medical treatment and are not serious. However, an infection that is in the sinus is also very close to the eye and to the brain. Extension of a sinus infection to the eye or brain is tare. Hittherihote, it is not healthy for the lungs to have infected mucus dripping down from infected sinuses. Bronchitis, chronic cough, and asthma are often aggravated, or even brought on, by sinusitis. What Is a Sinus Headache? A headache in the face, checks, forehead, or around the eyes that comes on during a "cold,” or when the nose is congested and ninny or filled with mucus, is probably a "sinus headache”: one caused by sinus infection. Another kind of sinus headache is the one that occurs in the sinus areas during descent (landing) in an airplane, especially if you have a cold or active allergy (this it called a vacuum headache).
