What is Sinusitis?
Sinusitis; sinus infection / inflammation is the name given.
Congestion in the nose disrupts the emptying mechanism of the sinuses, causing bacteria or viruses to remain in the sinus cavities, resulting in sinus infection.
The most common cause of sinusitis is upper respiratory tract infections. The cause of infection may be bacteria or viruses. Allergy is another cause of sinusitis.
Bacterial sinusitis (bacterial sinusitis) can cause one to feel more ill than viral sinusitis (sinusitis caused by viruses). (In bacterial sinusitis, more facial pain, swelling is felt, and fever may also be observed.)
What are the symptoms of sinusitis?
The most common symptoms of bacterial sinusitis include:
Continuous cough for 1-2 weeks without nasal congestion or runny nose
Bloating and pain around the eyes
Nasal mucus flow (this is observed in both bacterial and viral sinusitis, but continuous and intense discharge is usually a symptom of bacterial sinusitis)
Pain in the cheek bones, tenderness
Pressure sensation
Fire
Increased headache, especially when you tilt your head forward
Pain in teeth and gums
Bad breath
Besides these; dry cough, nausea are also observed symptoms.
How is sinusitis treated?
In the treatment of sinusitis, the use of drugs is generally used. Antibiotics may be used if sinusitis is caused by bacteria, and antihistaminic drugs may be used if allergies are caused.
Various nose openers may also be recommended to relieve complaints.
In the treatment of sinusitis, it is important that your doctor recommends and regularly uses the medications recommended by you. Otherwise, sinusitis may be observed again in a short time. One of the most common mistakes made in our country; patients immediately begin to feel good with antibiotics. However, it is important that you use antibiotics and other medicines for the time your doctor recommends. This is because only the bacteria that cause infection can be completely removed from your body.
In addition, resting and consuming plenty of fluids will help you recover quickly. However; Refreshing and humidifying devices and hot compresses, nose drops can be used to alleviate complaints.
Sinus surgery
Sinusitis surgery with endoscope may be an alternative in the treatment of sinusitis that does not respond to medication or any treatment.
The sinus canals are examined with the help of an endoscope, a thin flexible tube with an illuminated tip. Then the cause of congestion is eliminated. This procedure may include the reduction of a bone causing obstruction in the nasal cavity, removal of a tissue or polyp. In some cases, the narrow sine opening can be expanded to provide flow.
How can the risk of sinusitis be reduced?
Recurrent sinusitis is a disease that reduces the quality of life and causes discomfort to people. It is possible to reduce the risk of sinusitis through some precautions and applications. These are:
Preventing the sinuses from being affected by dry air with the use of humidifying machines (but these machines should be cleaned frequently, otherwise mold-causing allergies may be observed)
Allergy control, avoiding allergens
Frequent washing of hands to avoid diseases such as influenza, colds, colds, avoiding sick people and feeding
