Sinusitis treatment with folk remedies at home

Sinusitis is called inflammation of the mucous membrane of the maxillary, or maxillary, cavity. In most cases, there is sinusitis in one of the cavities, left or right. Acute maxillary sinusitis usually occurs shortly after an acute cold or pulpitis, caries, and also as a concomitant disease with influenza, measles and scarlet fever. Acute antritis often turns into chronic.

In the bones surrounding the nose, there are the so-called maxillary sinuses. Each such sinus is connected by a narrow channel to the nasal cavity. Actually the maxillary sinuses are located in the cheekbones. Frontal sinuses are located in the forehead, immediately above the eyebrows. Latticed sinuses are located above the inner nasal passages. The sphenoid sinuses are deeper, behind the nasal passages. In the first years of life, only the maxillary and latticular sinuses are sufficiently developed, and only they are affected by the infection. Frontal and sphenoid sinuses develop gradually after six years. When there is a strong or prolonged infection in the nose, it can spread to these sinuses. Inflammation of the sinuses usually lasts longer than the usual cold, because the sinuses are closed and from there, mucus and pus come out with difficulty. The sinusitis can proceed in a mild form and appears only in the discharge of pus from the back of the nose into the throat( postnasal discharge).

Sometimes it causes a chronic cough, when the child lies in bed or rises in the morning. On the other hand, sinusitis can be severe, with a high fever and severe pain. When a doctor suspects having a sinusitis, he usually resorts to an x-ray or shines through the sinuses in a dark room. Various means are used, depending on the individual case.

Whatever specific means the doctor used, remember that the general care of the child is very important. Sinusitis in the end is just a heavier and more stable form of cold. As with colds, it is better to keep your child at home in a warm room with a constant temperature and moistened air. The child should be evenly covered;Keep the windows closed at night.

Symptoms: severe headache with a sensation of "swelling" of the head, fever, nasal congestion, accompanied by loss of smell and pus. More about the symptoms, look here.

Warning! Categorically contraindicated in case of suspected genyantritis to warm up the sinuses, if there is no outflow of mucus and pus!

What's going on? Inflammation of the nasal mucosa and nasal sinuses leads to accumulation of mucus and pus in the sinuses. Acute sinusitis is characterized by severe headache and pain in the cheek area, a strong runny nose with pus, fever, chills and overall poor health.

Chronic sinusitis causes headache, nasal congestion with purulent secretions from it, general weakness and rapid fatigue. The constant secretion of pus from the back of the nose to the throat in chronic sinusitis can cause chronic coughing.

What should I do? Treating sinusitis is to ensure the outflow of mucus and( or) pus from the sinuses. For this, nasal drops and physiotherapeutic procedures( UHF, UFO) are used on the recommendation of the attending physician. Often apply sinus puncture. In this case, the doctor pushes out pus from the sinus and injects there anti-inflammatory drugs. The house must be kept at a constant temperature and humidity. If necessary, use a heater( best of all - an oil cooler) and an air humidifier.

Sinusitis often occurs with influenza, measles, scarlet fever, with caries of molars of the upper jaw.
