Sinusitis is a common inflammation of the nose, with a high recurrence, so the daily prevention work becomes very important. If sinusitis is not treated in time, it will be very difficult to recover. So what is the cause of sinusitis? What are the daily symptoms? Let's understand.

Causes of sinusitis

1. Mechanical blockage

Some diseases of the nasal cavity, such as deviation of the nasal septum, hypertrophy of the middle turbinate, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, foreign body or tumor in the nasal cavity, directly block the opening of the sinuses, causing sinusitis.

2. Allergic reaction

When allergic rhinitis or other allergic diseases occur, the turbinate mucosa is highly edematous, and the edematous mucosa may block the ostium and cause sinusitis. At the same time, there are also allergic changes in the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses, which is more likely to be secondary to bacterial infection.

3. Infection

It mainly occurs after the cold, the treatment is not timely or thorough, and the inflammation spreads from the nasal cavity to the surrounding tissues such as the paranasal sinuses. If the cold is not cured repeatedly, and there are persistent runny nose, stuffy nose, poor breath, cough, headache, snoring, etc., it can be converted into acute sinusitis in about one week.

Symptoms of sinusitis

1. General symptoms

Adults mainly have headache, while children have systemic symptoms. The symptoms are low spirits, high fever, dehydration, shortness of breath, and the severe ones will be fidgety and twitch.

2. Headache and nasal congestion

The child will have a stuffy nose, a runny nose on one side or both sides. The older child can talk about the characteristics of headache, such as when the pain is, the pain is not severe, and so on. Some children talk about toothache or one side of cheek pain.

3. Cheek swelling

In terms of acute frontal sinusitis, the symptoms of children and adults are very similar. When the infection is serious, the orbit will cause eyelid and conjunctival edema, and the eyeball will also move downward; when acute ethmoid sinusitis, most of the local symptoms are not obvious.

The treatment of nasosinusitis is based on its clinical manifestations, so it must be examined in detail before treatment.
