Can chronic sinusitis be cured?

The common people usually think of “cold and flu” is not really chronic sinusitis, if the course of the disease can be recovered in 2-3 weeks under the drug intervention is our clinical see “acute rhinitis”. The European guidelines for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps (EPOS 2012) clearly state that the main symptoms of chronic sinusitis are alternating or persistent nasal congestion, mucopurulent flow, headache, loss of smell or even loss of smell, and that the duration of the disease is more than 12 weeks, with nasal endoscopy showing congestion and swelling of the turbinate mucosa, pus accumulation in the middle nasal passage or olfactory groove, and CT of the paranasal sinuses showing thickening of the sinus mucosa and pus accumulation in the sinus cavity, which can be accompanied by In severe cases, it can be accompanied by otitis media, pharyngitis, bronchitis and other diseases. Chronic sinusitis can be divided into two categories with or without nasal polyps. In this way, we have a preliminary understanding of chronic sinusitis, i.e., a prolonged “cold or flu” with more severe nasal symptoms than the common cold, easily complicated by other diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and not easily restored to a normal state of health without proper medication guidance from a physician. So, if you are diagnosed with chronic sinusitis, how can you treat it reasonably? First, early diagnosis and early medication. Once a sinusitis attack is detected, seek medical attention and use the correct medication under the guidance of a physician. The current glucocorticoid nasal spray is safe and effective for sinusitis symptoms, is the clinical drug of choice, with a history of allergic disease requires anti-allergy drug therapy, in addition to oral mucus promoter, macrolide antibiotic drugs. If the symptoms improve can be reduced at the discretion of the drug, during the remission of symptoms to adjust the application of proprietary Chinese medicine, nasal rinses and other therapeutic means to strengthen the capital and completely cure that episode of sinusitis. Second, the drugs are not effective to consider surgery. The specialist physicians in the regular hospital are very strict and professional about the indications for surgery. The preoperative evaluation includes history taking, regularity of medication, nasal endoscopy, CT examination, etc. Only if the patient fully meets the indications for surgery will he be recommended for surgery. Of course, surgery is preferred for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. Moreover, good pre-surgical communication is necessary because patients often have many concerns about surgery: can surgery completely cure rhinitis, do they have to rely on drugs after surgery, and will nasal polyps recur? Physicians should let patients understand that surgery is an important treatment for nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis, but they still need adjunctive medication to better relieve symptoms, prevent recurrence, and achieve the desired clinical purpose. Regular post-operative follow-up and reasonable medication should be completed carefully under the guidance of a physician, so as to cure sinusitis, improve the quality of life and truly restore health. The third is to enhance the physical fitness prevention-oriented. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The recurring cold easily makes the human body susceptible to viruses and bacteria, so strengthen the body, warm and cold, and guard the “nose” the first line of defense of the human respiratory system, so as to prevent recurring attacks of sinusitis and cure chronic sinusitis from the root.
