Symptoms of sinusitis. Causes of its occurrence

Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus can and independently, but more often the causes of sinusitis - transferred early flu, runny nose, scarlet fever, measles and other infectious diseases. Sometimes the disease can be a consequence of the destruction of the upper molars. Gaimorova sinus is filled with mucus, pus or serous fluid, the lumen of it is significantly reduced.

Symptoms of acute sinusitis in the acute stage are severe nasal congestion, loss of sense of smell, general weakness, high body temperature, fear of bright light, headache giving to the temple, teeth and forehead, small swelling of the cheek. In addition, there is an early fatigue from intellectual work.

Symptoms of sinusitis are the same, but not so much. Headache, as well as an increase in temperature in general, may be absent, however, nasal breathing, decreased sense of smell, and partially working capacity are necessarily hampered.

In no case can you ignore the symptoms of sinusitis and start the disease on its own, as its chronic course often leads to the formation of polyps - when the mucosa grows so much that it becomes visible in the outer opening of the nose. There is an even more serious and even life-threatening complication - inflammation of the meninges.

Especially one should be careful not to miss the symptoms of genyantritis in childhood, when only all the systems and organs of the child are formed. If he often has to inhale air with his mouth, this will entail a number of violations: abnormal development of the thorax, facial skeleton, improper growth of teeth; Upset memory, hearing, attention. Thus, the reason for going to the doctor should be the slightest difficulty in breathing freely with your nose.

When conservative treatment of purulent sinusitis in acute and chronic stage, solutions with antiseptic properties are used. Most often, in the sinus of the nose with puncture, 5 to 10 ml of a solution of dioxidine (1%) is administered. Such treatment is not always successful, since the solution kills gram-negative bacteria, and the disease is caused more often, on the contrary, cocci are gram-positive, which are completely immune to the agent. Moreover, for a stronger effect of the medication it is necessary that it be delayed in the sinuses of the nose for at least two hours (ideally - for a day), which is absolutely impossible, since it inevitably flows through natural openings.

And yet, people do not pay attention to these moments and apply "Dioxydin" in sinusitis alone, mixing it with hydrocortisone (one ampoule), shaking and dripping into each nostril two drops three times a day. Keep the product in the refrigerator, before use, always warm and shake in the hand. It is not recommended to treat them with maxillary sinusitis in children under the age of twelve.
