👉👉👉What is Sinusitis?👈👈👈👈
In the facial bones around the nose, there is an empty space called “sinuses”. These spaces are connected to the nasal cavity through small openings, through which air is ventilated and secretions are excreted in the sinuses. Sinusitis (sinusitis) is a condition in which the entrance of the sinuses is blocked due to various causes, and the sinuses are not properly ventilated and excreted, resulting in secondary inflammation. If the onset period is less than 4 weeks, it is classified as acute sinusitis, and if it persists for more than 3 months, it is classified as chronic sinusitis.
What is the cause?
The causes of sinusitis are ▲ secondary bacterial infection that occurs after upper respiratory tract infection caused by a virus ▲ irritants such as pollution, cigarette smoke, chemical irritants such as chlorine disinfectant in swimming pools ▲ dental problems ▲ anatomical abnormalities such as a curved septum ▲ allergies, Blockage due to tumor or lump ▲ Trauma, systemic disease, facial deformity, etc. are very diverse. In addition, changes in temperature and humidity, air pollution, unclean environment, nutritional deficiencies, and genetic factors can also be the cause. In the case of acute sinusitis, bacterial infection due to upper respiratory tract infection is a common cause, and chronic sinusitis occurs when acute sinusitis is not properly treated or acute inflammation is repeated. If you have treated sinusitis in the past, it is important not to catch a cold in order not to get sinusitis again because sinusitis can be easily induced structurally or physiologically. Therefore, if there are symptoms of acute sinusitis, appropriate treatment should be implemented to prevent it from becoming chronic.
