Sinus suppuration is the main feature of sinusitis caused by bacterial infection, and systemic and local treatments need to be selected according to the etiology and characteristics of the disease. After active and standardized treatment, acute cases will gradually improve within 2 weeks. In chronic cases, the treatment cycle is more than 3 months. The specific length of time is affected by the patient’s physical condition, virulence of germs, treatment means and triggers and other factors.
Sinus suppuration often occurs by bacterial infection induced by inflammation of the nasal sinuses, stimulation of adverse physical and chemical factors, trauma and systemic diseases. Its formation and pathologic changes are closely related to the species and virulence of the causative bacteria. Common pathogenic bacteria include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus hemolyticus, and Staphylococcus, as well as Bacillus influenzae, Bacillus pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Most patients with acute sinusitis can be cured in 2 weeks after active treatment, and some patients can develop chronic sinusitis after repeated attacks.
Most chronic sinusitis can be cured after standardized treatment, a few patients are difficult to cure, but also through surgery to open the sinus openings to promote nasal mucus drainage. Its treatment cycle is usually 3 months, but there are individual differences affected by the severity of the disease, personal constitution, treatment timing, treatment program and other factors.
When sinusitis occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
