Features of the procedure

Before it turns out to be a tete-a-tete with a doctor, "armed" with horrific tools, it is worthwhile once and for all to understand how the sinus puncture is performed in the genyantritis.

Usually it is necessary to make an X-ray for re-diagnosis, and to prevent infection - gargle with an antiseptic for several months. Also, treatment of sinusitis after a puncture involves regular washing of the nose with potassium permanganate, saline solution or furacilin (to prevent relapse).
