Here you go... again runny nose. And just a week to go to the nose and everything will pass. Strange, does not pass, and headaches Some started... And the person goes to the reception to the otolaryngologist. Doctor holding the necessary manipulations, makes a diagnosis - you have a sinusitis.
Let's figure it out what kind of illness is and how ordinary runny nose can transform into a sinusitis.
During a runny nose in the nasal strokes, infection is settled, pathogenic bacteria cause swelling of the nose mucosa, nose «Laying». Mucus appears, first transparent («snot text»), and then thick, green. Here you need to melted. The appearance of green mucus - a sign of strong inflammation. With a cold, we often blow yourdoor, trying to harden your nose. And often forget that the nasal moves are closely related to the hymorovy sinuses located on both sides of the nose, under the eyes. From intensive blowing mucus falls into the sinus and inflammation begins - sinusitis.
Diagnosis of hymorita
The doctor defines a sinusitis after inspection: inserts an expander into the nose and visually examines each nostril.
But the exact diagnosis can be installed only on the basis of X-ray data. The patient make an X-ray, and if there is a sinusitis, the area between the eyes and the upper jaw will be opaque, white.
You can define a sinus and independently: stand up, and slowly lean forward. With sinusitis you will feel pulling Pain in the region Gaymorovy sinuses and forehead.
Sometimes it happens that the roots of the upper teeth are very close to the hymorovy sinuses, and then the pain in the entire top jaw constantly feels the patient.
Acute and chronic hymorite
A sharp hymorite declares itself a constant headache, thick mucous discharge from the nose, a feeling of pressure and cutting from the inside. The patient feels weak and broken.
If the sinus is not treated, it goes into a chronic form. Pain gradually disappears, but nasal congestion, periodic headaches remain. Our site does not recommend to get involved in vasoconducting means to make your nose breathe. But many often use such drugs, but if it is a sinusitis, then it is not to cure it in such a way, but you can only cause addictive to the medicines.
It is worth noting that in a chronic sinusitis in the nose there is always a focus of infection, so any supercooling or alcohol abuse (alcohol - the most powerful imminent blow) leads to a long runny nose. With the unfavorable course of chronic sinusitis in the nose, polyps are developing to remove surgically. The most unpleasant consequence of chronic hymorite is the loss of the ability to feel smell.
Geimorita treatment
In acute hymorite, the doctor prescribes a patient antibiotic. Now there are powerful drugs capable of defeating the disease in just three days. This is a zitrolide or macropen. Need to take one capsule a day before eating, drinking with plenty of water.
There are older antibiotics used for the treatment of hymorite - ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephalexin. The choice of an antibiotic depends on the preferences of the doctor and from the presence / absence in a patient allergy to a particular type of antibiotics. To facilitate breathing, the doctor will appoint a vasoconstrictor funds, but also will explain how often they can be used (Galazoline, Nazol, deryvin and others). If there is a suspicion that the cause of the hymorite was an allergic reaction, antiallergic means will be prescribed: Coterotadine, Tuesec, Zirtext Zirtext, Claritine.
Method «Cuckoo»
If the sinus is not heavy, the patient will hold a sinus evacuation by a soft catheter. The essence of the procedure as follows: The patient lies on the back. The doctor introduces a soft catheter in one nostril, and suction is inserted into another nostril. So as not to choke, the patient must constantly pronounce «ku-ku-ku» (Hence the name - the cuckoo method), then the nasal message is interrupted with a throat and the solution does not fall into the breathing throat. A solution of furaciline is supplied to the catheter, patient «Cube», and suction pumps the solution along with the contents of the sinuses. The effect is achieved by creating a negative pressure in the sinus. After the procedure in the sinus there is a certain amount of furaciline solution, which prevents the formation of a pus.
The effectiveness of this method is not large, it may be necessary to take several procedures, after which the patient suffers from severe pain in the region of the Gaimore sinus.
Puncture of the Gaimores Pickuchi
In addition to antibiotics, the doctor can offer a patient to conduct a puncture of the Gaimore sinus. This is a simple procedure that does not require special training. The doctor takes a thin spatula, at the end of which cotton wool moistened with lidocaine, inserts a spatula deep in the nostril - you need to anesthetically place where the puncture. Then a sterile needle (a needle is large, with a curved end) the doctor pierces the bone partition between the nasal stroke and the gaimor sinus. It does not hurt since anesthesia. The needle is not removed, the doctor joins the syringe to the needle and wash the contents of the sinuses with saline. So that the patient does not choose, the doctor will ask him to sit with an open mouth, everything will flow through the mouth into the substituted capacity. The process of filling the sinus sinus is very unpleasant - a painful sense of pressure from the inside. After the sinus is filled with saline, the outflow of the contents of the patient sickness begins. In order for the sides of the sinus again, the dioxidine solution is introduced into the sinus.
Help in the treatment of hymorite can physiotes. 5-7 Soluccas sessions or UHF significantly improve the patient's condition.
If the treatment is started on time, the sinusitis is easily cured within a week. Chronic hymorite may require much longer treatment and even operations. The essence of the operation is to make a permanent hole between the gaimor sinus and the maxillary area. For this make a cut in the mouth, over the upper jaw and carefully scrape the purulent contents of the sinus. When the hole is formed, the incision in the mouth is sewn. After the operation of the pussy in the sinus will not be stated, leaving through the hole in the throat. Rehabilitation period after surgery - about two weeks.
Complications of hymorita
Nose is that «Wonderful» place where the infection can easily get into the throat and in the lungs and in the brain. Therefore, the most frequent complications of the sinusitis are inflammation of the lungs, angina and meningitis. Do not treat sinusitis can not be treated: he does not heal independently, only goes into a chronic form.
Prevention of hymorita
To avoid hymoritis, you need to carefully monitor the state of your nose and mouth: in time to treat carious teeth (tooth with «Doupel» - Wonderful environment for pathogenic bacteria), prevent the development of inflammatory processes in the mouth - inflammation of adhesion, foreign bodies between teeth. The nose must be healthy - because it is an entrance door for any infection transmitting air-droplet. Therefore, our site recommends you during the cold season every day before going outside to lubricate in the nostrils by any antimicrobial agent - it may be an oxolatory ointment, IRS-19 spray or something else. This simple procedure will protect you not only from the runny nose (and hymoritis), but also from the influenza virus.
