 Chronic sinusitis treatment - the need for a comprehensive approach

The duration of infection in the sinuses require an integrated approach in the choice of treatment strategy. It should be taken carefully to the treatment of acute sinusitis Acute sinusitis: treatment - an effective method of choice  Acute sinusitis: treatment - an effective method of choice
 As not dolechenny process causes the formation of chronic inflammation. Treatment of chronic sinusitis may include a variety of activities, not just conservative, but surgical treatment.

Complex conservative measures

Medical actions should be directed to restore the airway to restore breathing through the nose, as well as strengthening the immune system Strengthening the immune system - help the immune system  Strengthening the immune system - help the immune system
 . The question of the appointment of antibiotics should be decided individually, but in general, this group of drugs used in acute illness. It is recommended to carry out microbiological testing to determine the sensitivity of detection of the pathogen to antibiotics, which will increase the effectiveness of the prescribed therapy and prevent the risk of resistant strains of microorganisms.

To normalize the nasal breathing techniques are used to remove or evacuate the contents of the sinuses. Effective methods are:

  • washing the sinuses with special drains. For washing there are different solutions with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic (solution hlorofillipta, dioksidina, miramistina, furatsillina)
  • washing or nasal douche
  • by suction mucus
  • therapeutic influence of physical therapy (the method of ozone therapy Ozone - the effective use of ozone in the treatment of diseases  Ozone - the effective use of ozone in the treatment of diseases
 , Laser therapy). A course of treatment up to ten sessions. The need for re-treatment after a doctor decides to control patient examination

Rinsing the nasal sinuses and the channels used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Complex therapy includes the appointment of drug therapy and local therapy and physiotherapy. It should be mandatory assignment of funds aimed at stimulating the immune system.

The need for surgical treatment

If conservative measures undertaken have not had the desired effect, the disease continues to progress, then it is necessary to solve the problem of surgical treatment. Infectious process will be supported by the available anatomical and other defects, so they should be promptly removed. If there is a defect of the nasal septum, septoplasty surgery is performed to correct partition. Deviated septum supports existing inflammation in the sinus, contributing to long-term and relapsing sinusitis, so you should spend its surgical correction. One of the complications of chronic sinusitis Sinusitis - when a puncture is required  Sinusitis - when a puncture is required
   is the formation of nasal polyps. They can fill the entire cavity, causing obstruction of the airway. In this case, make the removal of polyps. The operation should not be delayed, since the formation of polyps tend to progress.

The most common form of surgery for chronic sinusitis is sinus puncture. The main purpose of this procedure is the evacuation of pus. After washing the cavity puncture produce antiseptic. If the operation continues to accumulate pus in the sinus, then it should decide on early intervention, during which produces expansion of the nasal passages for better drainage of pus.

 Allergic sinusitis treatment - means of desensitization of the body

Treatment of allergic dermatitis in many respects coincide with the principles of treatment of diseases of allergic nature of other sites. The basic principle of treatment is to suppress the body's response to receipt therein of the allergen. This is achieved by various measures desensitization, which include means of specific and nonspecific therapy.

That includes hyposensitization therapy

Antihistamines occupy a leading position in the therapy of allergic sinusitis Sinusitis - when a puncture is required  Sinusitis - when a puncture is required
 . Their action is aimed at suppressing the allergic reaction by blocking specific receptors for substance histamine. It is the action of histamine leads to the development of edema Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause  Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause
   mucosa, spasm of the airways and other allergic reactions when entering the allergen into the body, so to suppress allergy symptoms, appointed agents that block receptors for this substance. In practice, it has been used antihistamines, which are divided into three generations. Notable first-generation product is tavegil Tavegil - relieve swelling, itching, and runny nose  Tavegil - relieve swelling, itching, and runny nose
 , Suprastin Suprastin - the most popular drug allergy  Suprastin - the most popular drug allergy
 , Diazolin, pipolfen. They are widely used in practice, but is now trying to use more drugs of the third generation who are deprived of significant side effects, particularly on the part of the heart.

  • desloratadine
  • fexofenadine
  • levocetirizine

In order to suppress the manifestations of allergic sinusitis appointed calcium gluconate. It can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or in the form of tablets, which is determined by the severity of the pathological process.

As a means of specific desensitization vaccination, as allergens are introduced in small concentrations. Treatment is aimed at developing specific immune response.

What methods of treatment can be recommended

A good therapeutic effect is the use of modern technologies, such as laser therapy. With the purpose of treatment, you can combine this method with surgical exposure therapy with cryotherapy. Impact HeNe laser may be on the skin at the site of projection sinuses or sinus mucosa directly by using special fibers. The laser helps to activate the process regenarativnyh mucosa, promotes offensive of recovery in a shorter period of time. If sinusitis occurs in severe form, with complications that produce intravenous laser irradiation of blood (use helium-neon laser) or an infrared laser affects the skin where the projected sinuses.

Positive effect on the healing process in the salt mines, underground caverns. There unique microclimate created by the fact that the air is purified and contains particles of salt in a special way which interact with the mucosal surface of the airways. The main curative factor of such mines is an aerosol of salt (rock salt particles that are suspended in the air). These particles contribute to the liquefaction of mucus and recovery mucociliary thereby removes respiratory allergens and pathogens. The undoubted advantage of this is the lack of air in it of pathogenic allergens. Besides the fact that there are salt mines in nature, is now open special rooms where you can spend a full course of treatment salt.
