In the article, we consider the symptoms and treatment of polysinusitis. This is an inflammatory process in the sinuses. It can be acute or chronic. Most often it forms in people after a fracture of the septum of the respiratory organ, with anatomical features of the narrow passages, and, in addition, against the background of an increase in the nasal concha, with polyps and adenoids. The main predisposing factor of infection is hypothermia.
Symptoms
The acute form of polysinusitis manifests itself:
- Headache.
- Thick, viscous, viscous discharge without pus (in catarrhal form). Pus can occur with purulent sinusitis. Most of it accumulates in the throat at night, which leads to reflex coughing in the morning.
- Strong nasal congestion, which is unilateral or bilateral.
- Impaired odor perception.
- Infatuated voices.
- Common symptoms: fever, malaise, weakness, and weakness.
Symptoms of a chronic form can be considered:
- headache, but less intense than with acute sinusitis;
- low temperature or even its absence;
- purulent discharge is, but very scarce;
- pain, pressure in the area of the affected sinuses.
Next, we will talk about alternative methods of treating polysinusitis in children and adults at home.
Home remedies
Adults and children to treat this disease exclusively with folk methods, abandoning medication, should not. It is recommended to combine both treatment options for acute and purulent polysinusitis.
At the very beginning of the disease, it is useful to perform inhalations on potato steam. To do this, you need to boil several potatoes in their uniforms and then drain the water from them. Then, in order to completely get rid of the liquid, you must again put the pot of potatoes on the fire for a while. Next, the product is transferred to a plate, cover your head with a towel, then breathe steam. This procedure is carried out for ten minutes twice a day for ten days. During inhalations, it is extremely important not to bend over the potatoes in order to protect yourself from burns.
Garlic and vinegar
Another inhalation can be performed to treat acute polysinusitis using garlic and apple cider vinegar. Take one head of the specified product, clean it from the husk, and then twist through a meat grinder. Next, the resulting mass is poured with two glasses of boiled water and a spoonful of apple cider vinegar is poured. Then the mass is mixed and inhalation is performed for a duration of fifteen minutes. The procedure is repeated four times a day. The last inhalation is done immediately before bedtime. Continue this therapy for ten days.
How is purulent polysinusitis treated? An ointment should be prepared that will relieve inflammation and remove pus.
To prepare such an ointment, take one spoonful of the following ingredients: grated soap along with onion juice, natural honey, cow's milk and olive oil. All mixed, melting in a water bath until a homogeneous state. Next, the resulting medicine is slightly cooled, then cotton swabs are abundantly moistened in it, inserted into the nose for five to seven minutes. They are used up to three times a day. After two such procedures, a fairly active discharge of pus is observed.
The course of treatment for polysinusitis is selected individually and continued until the discharge of pus is completely over.
Black radish
Black radish is another ideal cure for sinusitis. To conduct therapy, you should take a small root crop, then peel it and pass it through a juicer. The resulting juice is filtered through cheesecloth. It is used for instillation into the nose three drops in each nostril three times. Against the background of this treatment, a burning sensation is possible, which is considered the norm. For therapy, you can use a two percent pharmacy solution with mummy. It is used as nasal drops. The tool is instilled in two drops three times a day for ten days.
Folk remedies for the treatment of polysinusitis in children
The disease in children can be cured by combining drug therapy with traditional techniques. This approach makes it possible to rid the baby of the disease in the shortest possible time and protect him from dangerous complications.
Washing the nose with a mixture of onion and honey is considered an effective tool. To carry out such a procedure, you need to take the onion head, peel it, grate it on a fine grater. Next, add a spoonful of flower honey to the vegetable mass and fill it with 120 milliliters of water. After this, the dishes with the therapeutic composition are insulated with a blanket, then the drug is insisted for seven hours. Then the medicine is filtered through a gauze folded in six layers and used to rinse the nose. The procedure is carried out once a day for ten days.
In the case when the disease is not purulent, children can be warmed up for a sick sinus. To do this, take a chicken egg and boiled hard boiled. Then, wrapped in tissue, it must be kept in the area of the inflamed sinus until the sensation of heat disappears. Such heating is carried out up to six times a day for one week. During the procedure, it is extremely important to ensure that overheating does not occur and does not form a burn.
Compresses
Can be used for warming and compress. To perform it, you need to squeeze the juice from black radish, and then mix it with olive oil, based on a two to one ratio. Next, the resulting composition is moistened with cotton cloth and applied to the area of the inflamed sinus. After that, the compress is covered with polyethylene, as well as with a woolen cloth and fixed using adhesive tape. This procedure lasts exactly an hour. In the event that the child experiences a severe burning sensation, then the compress is removed earlier. Up to two procedures are done per day. The full course of therapy is ten days.
In the treatment of the disease, a compress of rye flour with honey can be used. Taking a spoonful of honey, it is mixed with flour until a sufficiently thick dough is formed. Then, one or two cakes are formed from the resulting mass, which are applied to the inflamed sinuses. Then they are covered with woolen cloth, polyethylene and fixed with adhesive plaster. Leave such a compress for the night. Treatment with this method is carried out for fourteen days. The advantage of such a compress is that it does not lead to burns, even with very prolonged exposure.
Treatment of catarrhal polysinusitis
Inflammation that affects the sinuses caused by viral infections is called catarrhal polysinusitis. This disease has its own characteristics, namely: it affects the nasal mucosa along with the frontal adnexa or the maxillary sinuses. The causative agents of this pathology are different bacteria and viruses. The acute catarrhal form can involve different types of the common cold in pathological processes.
Inflammatory processes of the mucosa are eliminated with the help of drug therapy and physiotherapeutic procedures. The doctor diagnoses the paranasal and paranasal sinuses, after which treatment is prescribed. With proper therapy, catarrhal sinusitis is eliminated quite quickly. The complex therapy includes antibiotics along with vasoconstrictors and an antibacterial drug.
Usually, Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav, Flemoxin, Nazivin, Cefuroxime, Sinuforte and other drugs are prescribed for the treatment of the sinuses. Now we find out how the traditional therapy of the catarrhal form of the disease in question is carried out.
Alternative treatment of the catarrhal form
Traditional medicine is currently not the last place in the treatment of inflammation. But preference should be given mainly to proven methods. The main role in the treatment of polysinusitis is played by three percent hydrogen peroxide. Atomic oxygen acts as an integral part of peroxide, coping with many ailments. Fifteen to twenty drops of peroxide are added to one fourth cup of warm boiled water, then the nose is washed with a syringe without a needle. Next, let's talk about the treatment of chronic polysinusitis.
Chronic therapy
Therapy of the chronic form of the disease in question begins with a diagnosis, which the doctor makes after performing an x-ray or computed tomography. Next, the doctor determines the form of a chronic ailment, there are two of them: exudative, when inflammatory fluid accumulates inside the nasal sinuses (what is commonly called pus) and productive, on the background of which polyps form.
Having determined the form, the specialist prescribes a treatment for the disease aimed at eliminating the swelling of the mucosa in order to improve the outflow of pathogenic fluid. As a rule, restoration of airiness of the inner nasal cavity is required. Then the doctor faces the task of removing purulent contents. This can be done in three ways: by specific washing, catheter insertion and puncture.
Treatment with folk remedies for polysinusitis can be very effective.
Alternative treatment for chronic form
In this case, it is effective to use a saline, soda solution having an anti-inflammatory property. In a glass of water you need to add a spoonful of salt or soda. It is required to instill this composition intranasally, two drops in each passage. Effective is washing the nasal cavity with saline. Herbal tinctures with thyme and chamomile have an antiseptic effect, and, in addition, essential oils, for example, caraway and sea buckthorn.
