1, the main symptom of sinusitis
1, nasal congestion: the severity varies, which is mostly caused by congestion and swelling of nasal mucosa and increased secretion. Nasal congestion often causes temporary olfactory dysfunction.
2, purulent nasal mucus: nasal mucus is mostly purulent or sticky, yellow or yellow-green, the amount is uncertain, and it mostly flows to the throat. Odor on one side is more common in odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
3, the headache is mild, limited to the inner canthus or the root of the nose, and may also radiate to the top of the head, caused by multi-insect ethmoiditis. Do I seem to have this symptom? Click on one-on-one treatment with experts.
4. I feel forehead pain in the morning, which gradually increases in Zhejiang, decreases in the afternoon and disappears at night. This may be frontal sinusitis.
5, deep pain in the eyeball, can radiate to the top of the head, but also have a headache in the occipital area, which may be sphenoid sinusitis.
6. The typical manifestations of sinusitis include: stuffy nose, purulent secretion, temporary olfactory disturbance, chills, fever, loss of appetite, constipation, general malaise, etc.
7. Others: Due to purulent secretions entering the pharynx and long-term oral breathing, it is often accompanied by
2. The difference between rhinitis and sinusitis
Sinusitis is generally inflammation of the mucosa of maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus of nasal cavity, which can generally be single. Sinusitis can be said to be a very common disease in nasal diseases, which can be divided into acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis according to its nature. If patients want to know whether they have sinusitis, they can compare and judge according to the symptoms of sinusitis and their own situation.
Rhinitis is an inflammatory reaction of nasal mucosa, and sinusitis is an inflammatory disease of nasal mucosa. The two are usually accompanied, and the latter includes the former. The latter is more difficult to treat. As a kind of sinusitis, it is easy to limit infection due to poor drainage of sinus, which leads to chronic infection and difficult treatment.
Difference 1: anatomically, the nasal cavity is the ventilation cavity between the front and rear nostrils, and the inside of the nasal cavity is covered by nasal mucosa, and the inflammation of nasal mucosa is rhinitis; Accessory sinuses are air-containing cavities around the nasal cavity and in the skull and facial bones. There are four pairs of accessory sinuses, namely maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus and sphenoid sinus. Each accessory sinus has a sinus opening communicating with the nasal cavity. Through this ostium, the membrane of nasal cavity and mucosa in paranasal sinuses continue each other, and the inflammation of paranasal sinuses belongs to sinusitis.
Difference 2: The clinical manifestations of chronic sinusitis are often white glazed nose, yellow purulent nose after a cold, and decreased sense of smell. The symptom of chronic rhinitis is that the nose is stuffy or the two nostrils alternate with poor ventilation and runny nose.
3. Detailed explanation of the harm of sinusitis
First of all, sinusitis can cause severe headache and nausea.
One of the main symptoms of sinusitis is headache. Headache caused by sinusitis usually occurs in the daytime, and the location and time of headache are relatively stable and regular. Diffuse headache in the early stage, and with sinus attack in the later stage, the pain is often confined to a certain part. Headache caused by sinusitis is often accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, olfactory disorder and so on. The headache changes obviously when bending, bowing and turning over. Patients with sinusitis, especially those with acute sinusitis, have more obvious headaches.
Second, children with sinusitis are often depressed.
If a child suffers from chronic sinusitis, it is prone to symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, poor image, fainting, headache, dizziness, etc. Because the child does not blow his nose, excrement often collects in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and even flows back to the pharynx, which will cause nervous nasal congestion and breathing with his mouth open, leading to stagnation of maxillary development, irregular maxillary front teeth, thick lower lip and "adenoid face".
Third, sinusitis can easily reduce the memory of middle school students.
Middle school students also suffer from sinusitis, and the occupancy rate is also very high. First of all, their cold was not treated in time. The second is sinusitis caused by poor air treatment and long-term stimulation by harmful substances such as dust. Third, rhinitis was not cured in time. Sinusitis will affect children's study and life and make their memory decline.
Fourth, it will cause osteomyelitis.
It can lead to osteomyelitis many times. Osteomyelitis refers to chronic suppurative sinusitis which is easy to cause osteomyelitis of forehead, sphenoid bone, ethmoid sinus and maxilla. Osteomyelitis of frontal bone is common, except tenderness in sinus area, headache is abdominal distension-like dull pain. If osteomyelitis lasts for a long time, yellow-green runny nose may appear. X-ray film shows unclear bone layout, dead bone formation and sinus bone wall defect.
Five, if you can't prevent health care, it will lead to lesions and downward infection.
Without preventive health care, it will lead to pathological changes and downward infection. Tension is purulent excrement ejected from the nasopharynx, which can cause pharyngitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, tracheitis and other diseases. As a fumigation focus, suppurative sinusitis can also cause infectious central inflammation, tenosynovitis and dermatosis.
Six, if not treated in time, it will cause intracranial complications that are difficult to diagnose.
The symptoms of complex subdural abscess are atypical because it is difficult to diagnose. In addition to nasal symptoms, there may be symptoms such as aggravated headache (especially lying down), nausea and vomiting, and bradycardia. At the same time, there will be symptoms such as headache, fever and meningeal irritation when subdural abscess occurs. Nervous words can paralyze or twitch the side and upper limbs, and abscess rupture can cause purulent meningitis.
