Chronic sinusitis is a common disease in ENT, occurring mostly in older adults and adolescents, with teenagers being the most common. “When we see that some children are dragging long snot for a long time, it could be a common symptom manifestation of the disease.” Dr. Zheng Zhenyu, director of the department of otolaryngology at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, said. A recent survey of secondary school students in Zhengzhou City showed that the incidence of the disease is as high as 15 percent among middle school students and nearly 10 percent among high school students. The disease is very harmful to young people, if not treated in time, there will be dizziness, headache and other symptoms, over time, will also lead to memory and intellectual decline, affecting learning. And nowadays, secondary school students’ studies are so tight and heavy that they don’t have time to go to the hospital for treatment when they are in class. Usually, the only way to prevent it during school is to rely on themselves. Many teenagers do not do enough prevention and protection during school hours, and sinusitis recurs again and again. Therefore, every summer and winter vacation, a large number of parents bring their children to the ENT department. “Many parents are in a hurry and they want their children to be completely cured of the disease all at once through surgery, a thought we can understand, but it is unrealistic.” Dr. Zheng Zhenyu said. Because, the location of the nasal mucosa is very special, it is located in the portal of the respiratory tract, every day to be exposed to the air, dust and other kinds of external stimuli, and all these factors may cause sinus opening obstruction leading to infection in the sinuses. Moreover, the surgery is to restore the structures within the nasal passages to normal so that the airflow within the nasal passages is smooth and normal breathing is ensured. However, the causative factors of sinusitis cannot be removed by surgical methods, and it is unlikely to be completely avoided by trying to avoid bacteria in the air and dust, which are always present. “Various factors such as cold, flu, malnutrition and so on can lead to the recurrence of sinusitis.” Dr. Zhenyu Zheng told reporters. “Surgical treatment can solve the key problems, especially the abnormal nasal sinus structure, and has quick results, but non-surgical treatment in the perioperative period is also important.” Dr. Zheng Zhenyu pointed out. It’s also best to receive one to two weeks, and at least three days, of conservative treatment such as topical nasal medications, oral medications, and maxillary sinus puncture rinses before sinusitis surgery. “This is not irrelevant, but very necessary.” These treatments facilitate full wound healing after surgery to avoid recurrence; and they can alleviate the patient’s condition before surgery. When the disease is alleviated, the surgery will be less traumatic; and when the surgery is less traumatic, the wound will heal faster. “Six months to a year after surgery, patients also need to adhere to medication, regular follow-up visits to the hospital to deal with the wound.” Dr. Zhengzhou Yu reminded that some patients do not take these things to heart, do not adhere to the medication on time, and do not have regular follow-up visits to deal with the wound, resulting in the surgical wound in the nasal cavity where it should not grow (delayed healing), but where it should not grow, it grows and stays (nasal adhesions). This creates a new problem causing the nose to become blocked again and have to be treated again. This not only increases the patient’s pain, but also makes treatment difficult.
