Inflammation is one of the most common diseases of the paranasal sinuses, which are susceptible to the third part of all patients who have applied to the ENT - doctors. There are two types of sinusitis - acute and acquired. Let's take a closer look at one of them - the acquired sinusitis. Backgrounds that provoke the development of acquired sinusitis Acute antritis takes place in the acquired form only when immunity can no longer be controlled without the help of others. The formed swelling of the mucous membrane blocks the sinuses, the ventilation of the air stops and, as a consequence, stagnation. At this time, harmful small organisms in the compartment with pus and inflammatory exudate damage the nasal mucosa. Eventually, a progressive disease runs into the acquired form. Because after a certain time the disease appears again.
In some cases, acquired sinusitis is a consequence of narrow nasal passages or a curved nasal septum. In children this disease is quite often observed in a compartment with adenoid growths.
Symptoms that indicate the acquired sinusitis The main symptom of sinusitis is nasal congestion, a flaw in the nose and aching pain in the nose.
The increase in temperature indicates the development of the inflammatory process, the swelling of the cheeks and eyelids is visible.
Quite often there are severe migraines.
Development of acquired conjunctivitis.
Dry, incessant cough even after taking expectorants.
Symptoms of acquired sinusitis, first, depend on the form of the disease.
Exudative form - differs a long runny nose with liquid secretions.
Purulent form - with a runny nose, there is a purulent disposition combined with a nasty smell.
Unnatural dryness of the pharynx, abundant discharge in the morning hours and vomiting, caused by difficulty in the outflow of mucus - the main symptoms that indicate the development of the disease.
Stiffening caused by sinusitis Danger of sinusitis consists in anatomical features of the structure and location of the nasal sinus. Thin walls forming the sinuses contact the brain, can not always contain the contagion. Therefore, the risk of developing meningitis is quite high.
Often the accumulated infection affects the orbit. In this case, edema of the eyelids and their unevenness are observed, accompanied by intolerable pain.
Acquired sinusitis can promote the development of angina, pharyngitis or dental disease.
