In order to start treatment, you need to know what sinusitis is. This is a viral inflammation of the sinuses. It occurs for the most part after a viral illness that has not been treated or the therapy has not been carried out correctly. Speaking more specifically, the situation is as follows - during a runny nose, microbes "settle" in the nasal cavity. They begin to multiply, and as a result, the nose is blocked. Clear mucus begins to come out, but then it acquires a greenish tint. If this happens, then you should start sounding the alarm. After all, the reproduction of microbes is in full swing, and they enter the maxillary sinuses, where under their action an acute inflammation occurs - sinusitis.
Diagnosis of disease
If sinusitis is suspected, antibiotic treatment can be started only after visiting a doctor who can establish an accurate diagnosis and prescribe an intensive course of therapy. The examination is carried out by a specialist both visual and X-ray. Only then will a diagnosis be made.
Acute or chronic sinusitis - treatment andsymptoms
The acute course of the disease manifests itself with the following symptoms: headache, constant weakness, a feeling of pressure inside the sinuses. If you do not immediately begin treatment, then the disease flows into a chronic form. The symptoms remain the same, but they will be less pronounced or become manifested by systematic attacks. Treatment with nasal drops in this case is better to postpone until later and turn to more radical measures. These include a puncture or puncture of the maxillary sinus and a course of antibiotics.
Sinusitis - antibiotic treatment
The course of drugs will be prescribed by a specialist in the acute course of the disease. They will help relieve symptoms and prevent pathological changes in the nasopharynx. By the way, do not resort to self-medication. Complications of sinusitis can be very, very sad. Therefore, strictly follow the advice of a doctor. Most often, a course of drugs is prescribed, which includes antiviral ("Biseptol"), painkillers (analgin) and vitamin ("Ascorutin") agents.
Which antibiotics bring quick relief
If the course of the disease is in an acute form, then the patient may well be placed in a hospital and prescribe a course of medications. As a rule, patients recover quite quickly. But there is also a complication of the disease. In this case, a puncture will be made, but a course of antibiotics will still have to be drunk. What drugs give the bestEffect? Proven - "Ampicillin" and "Amoxicillin". Only they need to be taken in conjunction with antiallergic drugs. This will help relieve swelling of the mucosa and prevent allergies. No less effective are drugs such as Cefazolin, Augmentin, Ampiox. It should be remembered that all these medicines are taken for at least seven days.
Sinusitis. Treatment with antibiotics. Precautions
Drugs are always prescribed only by a doctor. Never start antibiotic treatment on your own. If the drug does not have a positive effect on the body, then it must be replaced with another one. And only a specialist can do this. Especially if you have a predisposition to allergies. In the event that you are struck by sinusitis, antibiotic treatment should be carried out only in a hospital and under the strict supervision of an otolaryngologist.
