In the article we will consider the symptoms and treatment of polysinusitis. This is an inflammatory process in the sinuses. It may be acute or chronic. Most often it is formed in people after a fracture of the septum of the respiratory organ, with the anatomical features of narrow passages, and, in addition, against the background of an increase in nasal conchas, with polyps and adenoids. The main predisposing factor for infection is hypothermia.
Symptoms
Acute form of polysinusitis manifests itself:
- Headache.
- Thick, viscous, viscous discharge without pus (with catarrhal form). Pus can occur with purulent sinusitis. Most of it accumulates in the throat at night, which leads to a reflex cough in the morning.
- Severe nasal congestion, which can be unilateral or bilateral.
- Impaired sense of smell.
- A nasal voice.
- Common symptoms:high fever, malaise, weakness and weakness.
Symptoms of the chronic form can be considered:
- headache, but less severe than acute sinusitis;
- low or no temperature;
- purulent discharge happens, but very scarce;
- pain, pressure in affected sinuses.
Next, let's talk folk ways to treat polysinusitis in children and adults at home.
Home remedies
Adults and children should not treat this disease exclusively with folk methods, abandoning medications. 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 over potato steam. To do this, you need to boil a few 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 with potatoes on the fire for a while. Next, the product is transferred to a plate, cover the head with a towel, then breathe in the steam. This procedure is carried out for ten minutes twice a day for ten days. During inhalation, it is extremely important not to bend over the potatoes too much in order to protect yourself from burns.
Garlic and vinegar
Another inhalation can be done to treat acute polysinusitis using garlic and apple cider vinegar. Take one head of the indicated product, peel it, after whichtwisted 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 fifteen minutes. The procedure is repeated four times a day. The last inhalation is done just 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 laundry soap along with onion juice, natural honey, cow's milk and olive oil. Everything is mixed, melting in a water bath until a homogeneous state is obtained. 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. Already after two such procedures, a fairly active discharge of pus is observed.
The course of treatment of polysinusitis is selected individually and continues until the discharge of pus is completely over.
Black radish
Black radish is another perfect remedy 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 strained 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 may occur, which is considered the norm. For TherapyYou can also use a two percent pharmacy solution with mummy. It is used as nasal drops. The agent is instilled two drops three times a day for ten days.
Folk remedies for the treatment of polysinusitis in children
Illness in children can be cured by combining drug therapy with traditional techniques. This approach makes it possible to save the baby from the disease as soon as possible and protect him from dangerous complications.
Washing the nose with a mixture of onion and honey is considered an effective remedy. To carry out such a procedure, you need to take the onion head, peel it, grate it on a fine grater. Next, a spoonful of flower honey is added to the vegetable mass and everyone is poured with 120 milliliters of water. After that, the dishes with the therapeutic composition are insulated with a blanket, then the drug is infused for seven hours. Then the medicine is filtered through gauze folded in six layers and used to wash the nose. The procedure is carried out once a day for ten days.
In the event that the disease is not purulent, children can be warmed up for a sick sinus. To do this, take a chicken egg and boil it hard-boiled. Further, wrapped in a cloth, it must be kept in the area of \u200b\u200bthe inflamed sinus until the feeling of warmth 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 there is no burn.
Compresses
Can be used forheating and compress. To perform it, you need to squeeze the juice from a black radish, then mix it with olive oil, based on a ratio of two to one. Next, the resulting composition is moistened with cotton fabric 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 by using an adhesive plaster. This procedure takes exactly one hour. In the event that the child experiences a strong 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, you can use a compress of rye flour with honey. 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 tape. Leave such a compress for the night. Treatment in this way 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 sinusitis. This disease has its own characteristics, namely: it affects the nasal mucosa along with the frontal adnexal areas or maxillary sinuses. The causative agents of this pathology are various bacteria and viruses. The acute catarrhal form may involve pathologicalprocesses different types of rhinitis.
Inflammatory processes of the mucosa are eliminated with the help of drug therapy and physiotherapy. The doctor diagnoses the paranasal and paranasal sinuses, after which treatment is prescribed. With proper therapy, catarrhal sinusitis is eliminated fairly quickly. The complex therapy includes antibiotics along with vasoconstrictors and an antibacterial drug.
Usually, for the treatment of paranasal sinuses, Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav, Flemoxin, Nazivin, Cefuroxime, Sinuforte and other drugs are prescribed. Now let's find out how folk therapy is carried out for the catarrhal form of the disease in question.
Folk treatment of catarrhal form
Traditional medicine currently occupies an important 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, which copes 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 using 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 that the doctor makes after performing an x-ray orcomputed tomography. Next, the doctor determines the form of a chronic disease, there are two of them: exudative, when inflammatory fluid accumulates inside the sinuses (what is commonly called pus) and productive, against which polyps form.
Having determined the form, the specialist prescribes the treatment of the disease, aimed at eliminating the mucosal edema in order to improve the outflow of pathogenic fluid. As a rule, restoration of the airiness of the internal nasal cavity is required. Then the doctor faces the task of removing the purulent contents. This can be done in three ways: specific flushing, catheter insertion and puncture.
Treatment of folk remedies for polysinusitis can be very effective.
Folk treatment for chronic form
In this case, it is effective to use saline, soda solution, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Add a spoonful of s alt or soda to a glass of water. Burying this composition is required intranasally, two drops in each passage. Effective is the washing of the nasal cavity with saline. Herbal tinctures with thyme and chamomile have an antiseptic effect, as well as essential oils, for example, caraway and sea buckthorn.
