During the winter months, the number of acute respiratory infections increases. Acute inflammation of the sinuses accompanied by nasal obstruction, increased cough secretion, body pain and fever, can significantly affect your health. Dr. Aleksandar Llazarevski, otolaryngologist, advises how to protect yourself from acute inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. What are sinuses? The sinuses are steam cavities in the skull, filled with air and lined with mucus. They are found around the nasal cavity, through which it communicates through small openings. Air enters the sinuses through these small openings, while the secretion that is secreted by the mucosa that lines the sinus cavity comes out of them.
All conditions that cause swelling of the nasal mucosa and sinuses and block the normal flow of secretion through the opening of the sinuses, create favorable conditions for the development of acute inflammation of the sinuses. When does acute inflammation of the sinuses occur? Acute Moldova Email List sinusitis usually begins with common viral colds. Viral infection causes swelling of the nasal and sinus mucosa and causes intensification of nasal secretion. If this condition lasts and blocks the openings of the sinuses, abundant secretion collects in the cavities of the sinuses and favorable conditions are created for the development of bacterial infections. What causes sinusitis? The bacteria that are the most common causes of acute sinusitis (Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Moraxella catarrhalis) usually remain in the upper respiratory tract mucosa throughout the year without showing any symptoms.
However, the decline of immunity during viral infections and blocking of the normal flow of secretion from the sinuses creates favorable conditions for their spread and the appearance of symptoms of acute inflammation of the sinuses. What are the symptoms of acute sinusitis? Nasal blockage, the appearance of abundant yellow-green secretion, a feeling of fullness, heaviness and pain in the face and forehead which is more pronounced when you bend your head down, headache and increased temperature body, all these are symptoms of acute sinusitis. Diagnosis and treatment The clinical appearance and endoscopic control of the nose are usually sufficient for the diagnosis of acute infection. Sometimes it is necessary to do other additional radiological examinations (computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses). Acute sinusitis is treated with antibiotics, nasal drops and symptomatic therapy.
