Acute rhinosinusitis is a regularly occurring diagnosis, characterized by the presence of inflammation in the mucous sinuses located near the nose. Most often, rhinosinusitis is caused by bacteria, allergens, viruses or fungi.
Getting into the paranasal sinuses, these particles provoke a response - the formation of mucus to remove them, but in this mucus such particles multiply even faster, which leads to the formation of edema. The swelling, in turn, hinders the normal withdrawal of mucus and provokes its accumulation in the sinuses. Thus, we get a general picture of acute rhinitis : there is a process of inflammation in the sinuses.
Acute rhinosinusitis - symptoms and treatment
Rhinosinusitis can be recognized by the following signs:
- stuffy nose;
- from the nose, mucus and pus are constantly secreted;
- chills, a general decline in strength ;
- unpleasant sensations in the sinus area;
- reduction of the sense of smell;
- small tumors in the sinus area.
In order to diagnose the presence of an attack of rhinosinusitis, the doctor conducts an examination, prescribes tests, assesses the patient's condition and the manifestation of signs of the disease. Cupping of rhinosinusitis often does not require surgical treatment if the disease has not flowed to a later stage.
Rhinosinusitis requires subsequent treatment:
- elimination of the focus of infection;
- removal of the inflammatory process;
- the normalization of the size of the sinuses for self-withdrawal of mucus.
Similar signs of rhinosinusitis require complex treatment, which includes remedies against edema, inflammation, and also to restore the body's immune forces. The most commonly used drugs are Sanorin, Nazivin, Naphthyzin, antibiotics - amoxicillin and any immunomodulators (for example, Immunal).
Rhinosinusitis - home treatment
Rhinosinusitis and treatment with folk remedies are possible, but only after examination and consultation of a doctor. If the flow of rhinosinusitis allows you to do without medication, the doctor will select the remedies that will best remove the symptoms. As a rule, folk treatment goes in combination with pills and drops that allow to remove swelling and ensure the elimination of the focus of infection.
To herbs, actively used for recovery, include valerian, calendula, chamomile, eucalyptus, sage. On their basis, drops are made, and general inhalations are carried out. Infusions and decoctions of herbs help to remove swelling and have a local antibacterial effect.
