Consequences of a complication of a genyantritis

Sinusitis is quite a serious ailment. Most often, it is a complication of a previously transmitted infectious airway disease. It requires urgent treatment. The danger of the ailment lies in the fact that its neglected form will certainly cause complications.

If the human immune system is strong, then it will successfully cope with sinusitis. With a general weakness of the body, it is extremely difficult to predict the further course of the disease. If you do not treat sinusitis, then its acute stage will quickly pass into a chronic form. Chronic sinusitis, complications of which are insidious, is a seriously treatable disease.

What is sinusitis and what are its complications?

The basis for the appearance of sinusitis is the introduction of pathogenic microbes into the mucosa of the maxillary sinus (hence the name of the disease).

What are the complications of sinusitis? Symptoms of pathological phenomena caused by the disease are diverse. Everything depends on the area of the lesion and its degree.

In sinusitis, nasal breathing and mucus from the cavities in the upper jaw region are disrupted. Accumulating, it promotes the multiplication of bacteria, which causes an even more extensive inflammatory process in the maxillary sinuses. Thus a closed chain is formed with the further development of complications.

What kinds of complications give off

Complications of sinusitis are divided into two conditional groups. The first includes the negative consequences that affect the state of the respiratory system.

Among them, it should be noted:

• Transition of a genyantritis from an acute stage to a chronic one;
• The occurrence of an inflammatory process in the pharynx and tonsils;
• Development of bronchitis and pneumonia;
• Spreading of sinusitis to other sinuses;
• The occurrence of the inflammatory process in the middle ear (otitis).

Complications of antritis in adults, belonging to the second group, go beyond the defeat of the respiratory system. In this case, a blow to yourself can take many systems of the body.

Among the complications can be noted:

• Inflammatory process in the meninges and encephalitis;
• Heart damage (myocarditis);
• Inflammation of the joints (rheumatoid arthritis);
• Impaired renal function (nephritis);
• Infection of blood (sepsis).

The main symptoms of genyantritis

Transition of the disease from acute to chronic stage is difficult to establish, since the list of symptoms of the disease is quite extensive.

To manifestations of a chronic nature include:

• Asthenia;
• Incessant cold;
• Permanent migraines;
• Discharge from the nose of purulent mucus, often they have an unpleasant smell.

The chronic course of sinusitis can be confused with a simple catarrhal disease or overwork. One of the brightest manifestations of the disease is a one-sided nasal congestion. This is due to the inflammatory process taking place in one maxillary sinus. After a certain period of time, the stuffiness of the nose can spread to the second side due to the fact that the inflammation seized the neighboring cavity.

Conditions in which acute sinusitis passes into a chronic form

Sinusitis acquires a chronic course due to various causes, among which one can distinguish:

• Untimely cessation of the disease;
• Non-observance of the doctor's recommendations;
• Decreased immunity;
• Presence of concomitant diseases of the respiratory system.

The transition of sinusitis to a chronic form can be caused by the presence of severe pathology of the cardiovascular system or respiratory organs. In such conditions, the patient may complain of a shortage of air.

With chronic sinusitis, the nasal mucosa and maxillary sinuses thicken and become inflamed. The person begins to breathe through the mouth, which promotes the spread of infection in new areas.

Negative impact of oral breathing is concluded in the inactivity of the nose and nasopharynx during the respiratory process. Dry, not moistened with mucus air is full of pathogens. They fall into the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Thus, sinusitis promotes the entry of microbes through the mouth and the inflamed maxillary sinuses.

Visual disturbance with genyantritis

Complications of sinusitis can hardly be called typical. No one knows which organ or system it will affect. It happens that intensive use of antibiotics helps to reduce resistance to them. Due to improper treatment of the disease, visual impairment may occur. For example, sinusitis can cause swelling of the eye tissue, retrobulbar inflammation or thrombosis of the orbital veins.

If you have visual impairment, you should immediately seek help from a specialist.

Defeat of bones

If the inflammatory process has spread to the bone tissue, then it causes osteoperiostitis. The disease can have both simple and purulent flow. This is a very serious complication with a severe clinic.

Therapy is based on the use of antibiotics. In this case, not only generic drugs are prescribed. Certain drugs are injected into the area of inflammation. Sometimes such a disease requires a surgical operation.

Neuritis of the trigeminal nerve

Complications after sinusitis are very diverse. Often, the disease causes inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. With this condition, the nerve endings close to the cerebellum swell and become inflamed, which causes acute pain. The disease is difficult to treat.

Disturbance of breathing

As a rule, a person does not pay attention to the fact that a sinus and a discharge appear in the genyantritis. In fact, the state of the maxillary sinuses greatly affects the entire body. For example, difficulty breathing through the nose can cause insomnia, which will lead to a drop in performance, asthenic condition and increased blood pressure. As a consequence, apnea syndrome may occur (stopping breathing during night sleep).

Tonsillitis and adenoids

Complications of acute sinusitis suggest the development of pathological processes in the nose and throat. With genyantritis the main impact on themselves is taken by these areas. Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses causes hypertrophy of their mucous membrane. Over time, benign neoplasms - polyps - can appear on the inflamed surface. They significantly contribute to hindering nasal breathing and cause even more swelling of the mucous membrane.

In the throat, tonsils are infectious. Their basis is lymphoid tissue. Tonsils have a complex branched structure. Thanks to this structure, the infection in them easily acclimatizes and quickly multiplies.

The inflammatory process in the tonsils is called angina. With the defeat of the tonsils, adenoids are formed, which are somewhat like polyps. But the place from the localization is the pharynx.

Lesion of the bronchi and lungs

As a result of the fact that the infection spreads from the maxillary sinuses downwards, it can affect the bronchi and lungs. As a result, bronchitis or pneumonia may develop.

Pneumonia is a serious disease. And if it was preceded by sinusitis, the symptoms of airway intoxication will be more pronounced. Frequent recurrent bronchitis can provoke the development of bronchial asthma.

Sinusitis

All the paranasal sinuses, frontal, latticed and maxillary, have a communication among themselves. Therefore, when bacteria are localized in one of them, inflammation can also start in other areas.

As a rule, the frontal sinuses react primarily to the inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, which causes the frontitis. In especially severe cases, the pathological process can spread to all sinuses. This condition was called pansinusitis. Its current is heavy. The disease is accompanied by high fever and pronounced intoxication of the whole organism.

Appearance of otitis

Very often, the inflammatory process, localized in the maxillary sinuses, extends to the ears. As is known, the pharynx communicates with the middle ear through a channel located in the area of the temple. This cavity is called the Eustachian tube.

Infectious process from the maxillary sinuses extends to the pharynx, and from there to the auditory tube. Penetration promotes the penetration of microbes, which creates an increased pressure in the throat. Infection with mucus penetrates into the ear. This provokes the appearance of otitis media.

The patient complains of stuffiness in the ear, then there are painful feelings that worry the patient at night. The pain is accompanied by the release of pus from the external auditory canal.

Meningoencephalitis

Otitis is terrible not only with the appearance of pain and pus. The middle and inner part of the ear is located near the membranes of the brain. A purulent process can easily spread to this area. Meningitis develops, which can cause a lethal outcome.

First, the patient complains of a severe migraine and a sudden increase in temperature. Then there are specific neurological symptoms, characterized by partial or complete loss of consciousness. The inflammatory process can affect the substance of the brain, and meningitis will be weighed down by encephalitis.

Effect of sinusitis on internal organs

Gaimorovy sinuses, filled with pus, are the focus of infection. Blood and lymph can spread it across all organs. In this case, possible complications of sinusitis, such as myocardial damage, kidneys and joints.

When exposed to the myocardium, the connective tissue structures of the heart valves are destroyed. When the joints are affected, cartilage degeneration occurs. The infection of the kidneys causes such complication as nephritis. This ailment, in turn, provokes kidney failure.

The onset of sepsis

The most serious complication of sinusitis is the infection of blood. The development of sepsis is facilitated by weak immunity and a primary purulent focus. In this case he is represented by the maxillary sinuses.

With the blood, bacteria are carried to all organs in which secondary inflammation arises.

Sinusitis in children

Children more often suffer from infectious and cold diseases. Untreated infections can be complicated by sinusitis.

Children in infancy are not affected, since the maxillary sinuses are not developed in them. Children over 4 years old can get sinusitis. Because of the small size of the sinuses, the symptomatology may not be so pronounced.

Complications of sinusitis in children

The main complication of maxillary sinusitis in children is otitis. Unlike adults, in children the ear is inflamed much more often. Therefore, treatment of sinusitis should be carried out as soon as possible. It should pay attention to a prolonged runny nose in the child. If you notice that the discharge has acquired a yellowish-green color, and from them comes a putrid smell, then this is the reason for visiting the doctor's office.

In children, sinusitis does not always cause pain and temperature.

Complications of sinusitis in children are as follows:

• Inflammation of the bronchi or lungs;
• The appearance of otitis, etmoiditis or frontalitis.

In addition to these diseases, there may be sepsis, disruption of the kidney and heart, inflammation of the joints.

General recommendations

How to prevent complications of sinusitis? First of all, the disease should be treated in a timely manner. Complex therapy presupposes the use of drugs that have an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. Antibiotics are also used.

Treatment of complications of sinusitis is sometimes a difficulty. Everything depends on the area of localization of the pathological process and the degree of prevalence of inflammation.

Medicines against microbes in genyantritis (antiseptic) are used topically in the form of rinses, drops or irrigation.

People's ways have a good effect. But these funds should be used in combination with drugs prescribed by a doctor.

Hygiene is very important. The process of blowing out should not be intense. It is advisable to keep the mouth open so that the mucus does not penetrate into the Eustachian tube.

One should remember about the general strengthening methods based on the admixture of multivitamins and stimulants of the immune system. The food should be full, and the situation at work and at home is optimal.

At the first suspicion on the development of sinusitis, you should immediately contact a laryngologist.
