Sinusitis - inflammation of the mucous membrane of the maxillary (maxillary) sinus. Pathology most often develops on the background of weakened immunity, with hypothermia, infectious lesions of the nasopharynx or teeth.

Sinusitis is an inflammatory process of the maxillary sinuses. Acute sinusitis is characterized by nasal congestion, abundant mucus from the nasal passages, discomfort in the affected sinus, dental and headache. Chronic form of inflammation is accompanied by similar symptoms, but they are less pronounced, against its background there are exacerbations and stagnation of clinical manifestations of the disease.

To treat sinusitis, antibacterial agents with a wide spectrum of action, vasoconstrictive or antihistamines are prescribed, and the nose is washed with antiseptics. It is important to carry out the therapy in accordance with the prescriptions of the otolaryngologist (ENT), since self-medication can lead to a worsening of the condition.

If the maxillary sinusitis develops against the background of acute respiratory viral infections or influenza, canardworts, warmers, hot footbaths with mustard, mouth rinses with antiseptic solutions.

Most often for heating the maxillary sinuses at home use warming drugs (asterisk), dry warmer, cooking or sea salt.

Along with the methods of traditional medicine, the use of traditional medicine. These include phytotherapy, the use of eggs or salt to warm up the nose with genyantritis. Before applying any non-traditional methods of treatment, it is recommended to consult a doctor to avoid negative consequences. For example, heating the irritated mucosa of the maxillary sinuses in some cases can aggravate the course of inflammation, contribute to the rapid progression of pathology and the development of severe complications.

Contraindications for warming the nose with sinusitis Nasal warming is not recommended for patients with acute sinusitis. This is due to the fact that an increase in local temperature during the procedure leads to a faster growth of the colonies of pathogenic microbes and their spread to other sites. Especially dangerous is the thermal impact of infection with meningococcus, hemophilic rod and some fungi.

During pregnancy, the possibility of warming up the nose should be discussed with the doctor. The procedure is contraindicated in patients with purulent maxillary sinusitis. Warming up in this case will serve to increase the volume of purulent discharge, damage to healthy sinuses and jaw.

Without the appointment of an otolaryngologist, the procedure is not recommended for children under the age of 14 years, for pregnancy and for patients with immunodeficiency.

Exposure to heat can increase the production of exudate and cause sinus clogging, which causes increased body temperature, developing nasal cavity pain, headache and even greater nasal congestion. Similar symptoms are observed in the procedure in cases of exacerbation of chronic sinusitis. In addition, careless heat exposure can lead to burns of varying degrees of severity.
