The first point: the symptoms of performance are different
Rhinitis.
Local manifestations
1, nasal congestion: nasal congestion is reduced during the day, when it is hot, labor or exercise, while it is aggravated at night, when sitting still or cold. Another characteristic of nasal congestion is alternating. If lying on the side, the nasal cavity on the lower side is blocked, while the nasal cavity on the upper side is well ventilated.
2.Much runny nose: It is often mucus or mucopurulent.
3.Dizziness: mostly manifested as a heavy head feeling.
Systemic manifestations: most people have headache, loss of appetite, easy fatigue, memory loss and insomnia, etc.
Sinusitis.
Local symptoms
1. nasal obstruction: persistent nasal congestion on the affected side may occur due to congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa and accumulation of secretions.
2. pus: more mucopurulent or purulent secretions are blown out of the affected side of the nose, and pus has a foul odor in cases of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
3, local pain and headache: acute sinusitis in addition to inflammation leads often accompanied by a more intense headache. The front group of sinuses is close to the surface of the skull, and its headache is mostly in the forehead, inner canthus and cheek, while the back group of sinuses is deep in the skull, and its headache is mostly in the top of the head and the back of the occiput.
Systemic symptoms: often show chills and fever, peripheral discomfort, mental discomfort, loss of appetite, etc. The systemic symptoms of acute odontogenic maxillary sinusitis are more dramatic. In children, the fever is higher and systemic symptoms such as convulsions, vomiting and diarrhea may occur in severe cases.
The second point: the treatment means are different
Rhinitis.
1. Etiological treatment
Timely treatment of systemic chronic diseases, sinusitis, adjacent infected lesions and deviated nasal septum, etc. Avoid contact with allergens.
2.Local treatment
Intranasal anti-inflammatory treatment with glucocorticoids
Nasal cleaning: For those who have more nasal secretions or are more viscous, saline can be used to clean the nasal cavity to remove nasal secretions and improve nasal ventilation; note that you should not operate on your own to avoid damage to the nasal mucosa.
Sinusitis.
1.Etiological treatment: If it is odontogenic maxillary sinusitis should be treated simultaneously with dental disease.
2, local treatment: improve sinus drainage Commonly used drug drops to contract the nasal cavity and improve drainage. Surgical treatment
Endoscopic sinus surgery is currently the preferred method. Under the bright view of nasal endoscope, the sinus lesions are completely removed, the sinus openings are fully opened, the sinus drainage is improved, and the normal tissues are preserved as much as possible.
3, systemic anti-inflammatory treatment: the use of adequate antibiotics to control infection, because most of the coccus infection, penicillins, cephalosporins as the drug of choice, drug therapy emphasizes the selection of sensitive antibiotics, full amount, full course of use. If the headache or local pain is severe, appropriate sedatives or analgesics can be used.
