Panniculitis occurs when the lining of the nose becomes inflamed
This condition, commonly known as sinusitis, is caused by an infection or irritation of the nasal lining.
Pannus is a thin, smooth layer of skin, mucous membrane and hair-like substance under the outermost layers of the skin. Panna has two layers – the cutaneous epidermis (outer layer) and the mucous membrane layer (second layer). Like all other diseases, panniculritis can have several underlying causes. This can be due to allergic reactions to dust mites, environmental irritants, stress, bacterial infections and viruses.
The presence of allergies can cause inflammation of Pannus due to the presence of chemicals such as insecticides that cause an allergic reaction in the nose. Other chemicals, such as certain types of detergents, can irritate the nasal mucosa. When the body is exposed to airborne pollutants such as pollen, dust mites or cigarette smoke, an allergic reaction can also occur. As mentioned earlier, exposure to certain medications can cause discomfort. And there are several other causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
Pannus can also be caused by an infection, especially a bacterial infection. If bacteria enter the nose through the nose, an infection can occur, leading to the formation of pus.
Pannus is not life threatening. But its symptoms are quite unpleasant, especially for people suffering from this disease. To relieve symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately. Symptoms usually disappear after a couple of days, or even after a week. However, it can cause temporary difficulty in breathing and discomfort when pus or fluid builds up around the nasal passages and throat.
To relieve the symptoms, you can take antihistamines, decongestants or oral medications, such as nasal irrigation or antifungals. If your condition is due to a virus, you may get decongestants to reduce symptoms.
In severe cases, medication may be necessary, so you should see your doctor right away for advice on reducing symptoms. Also, if your symptoms worsen, you should seek medical advice about taking medication. The condition may need surgery if your condition does not go away after three to four days.
To prevent the condition from getting worse, you can take preventive measures, such as using an antihistamine, taking preventive medicine, washing your hands properly after every touch and wiping your nose, avoiding irritants and cleaning your nose regularly, wearing a saline solution before you sleep. You should also avoid scratching your nose.
If your condition is a serious case, your doctor will suggest you to take antibiotics. There are several types of antibiotics available for the treatment of panniculitis. These include amoxicillin and gentamycin, tetracycline and erythromycin.
The most common side effects of antibiotic drugs are stomach upset, diarrhea and vomiting. But these effects are rare and temporary, so it is not usually serious. Antibiotics have been proven to be effective in the treatment of panniculitis. But the antibiotics must not be taken more than three months at a time, as the body may eventually build a resistance to them.
Oral antibiotics are usually used to treat severe cases of panniculitis. They work by destroying bacteria in the nasal cavity. They are normally taken once or twice a day, preferably in the morning and before bedtime. You can take them for long periods of time without any ill effects. Antibiotics work by killing bacteria that are found in the nasal passages.
Antibiotic drugs are also used to treat fungal infections, as well. Oral antibiotics, also called topical antifungals, work by killing bacteria. They are prescribed to reduce symptoms of panniculitis, as well as chronic sinusitis and allergies.
Oral antibiotics, like tetracycline and erythromycin, are also used to treat the common colds. But they do not fight bacteria. Therefore, they cannot be used to treat the symptoms of panniculitis. Instead, they help you to overcome the symptoms caused by an infection.
