What symptom is allergic sinusitis?

Nasal sinuses are some air containing cavities around the nasal cavity in the skull and facial bones, including maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus and sphenoid sinus. Sinusitis refers to the suppurative inflammation caused by pyogenic cocci infection of nasal mucosa, which can be divided into acute and chronic.

Acute sinusitis is the acute suppurative inflammation of nasal mucosa. It can occur in one sinus alone or in several sinuses at the same time. If the treatment of acute sinusitis is improper or repeated, it can cause chronic sinusitis.

This disease is mostly caused by cold, low body resistance, other nasal diseases often have nasal obstruction, improper swimming and diving methods, as well as rapid changes in air pressure (such as flying, diving, etc.) can lead to this disease. Maxillary sinusitis caused by the spread of root infection is called odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, which is also a kind of sinusitis.

matters needing attention

In physical examination, we can see hyperemia and swelling of nasal mucosa, and sometimes purulent rhinorrhea, especially in patients with allergic rhinitis combined with sinusitis, which may make the nasal mucosa performance of allergic rhinitis become less obvious.
