But apply the ointment with caution, since it can cause an allergic reaction to the mucous nasal and in the face. The agent is not shown even in the acute course of the disease, because it has a warming effect.

Oxolin ointment

Scientists have proved that the drug has a curative effect: in the genyantritis, deactivates various kinds of viruses.

Hardware treatment

Despite the fact that the pharmacological industry provides a diverse range of products for treating inflammation in the maxillary sinuses, some people, for certain circumstances, can not take medications. How to treat a genyantritis without a puncture in that case? You can use hardware treatment.

The essence of the method is that the patient draws in the washing liquid by the "cuckoo" method, and then laser therapy is performed. The laser beams penetrate deeply into the tissues of the nasal septum and relieve the inflammatory process. Already after the first procedure, there is a significant improvement in the condition of the sick person. Just enough to do 5-7 of these sessions.

Purulent sinusitis

Treatment of purulent maxillary sinusitis without a puncture always causes ambiguous opinion among many specialists. After all, the disease can not be the same in everyone. Doctors are primarily guided by the individual characteristics of the body, take into account the age of the patient, the presence of chronic diseases, find out the cause of inflammation. According to the indications, prescribe vasoconstrictive drops, decongestants, antibiotics and procedures for flushing the nasal passages. Sometimes such methods help, and surgical intervention can be avoided.

Treatment of purulent maxillary sinusitis without a puncture at home is also possible. But not all people know that such a state can not be "warmed up." It is strictly forbidden to apply hot boiled eggs to the bridge of the nose, sacks of salt, warmers, etc. This method will help only in the usual rhinitis, when its first symptoms appear.

It is also impossible to prescribe antibiotics to yourself or to relatives who are sick with maxillary sinusitis. Some of these funds have successfully helped in the past, now they are not capable of destroying 30% of dangerous microflora in the nose. Therefore, all actions for the treatment of the disease must be coordinated with the attending physician, otherwise the consequences can be the saddest.

Folk remedies

Healers from the people offer their treatment of sinusitis without a puncture. Reviews about folk remedies in most cases are only positive. In combination with traditional medicine, various lotions, compresses, ointments, etc., only contribute to a quick and effective cure.

To prepare the ointment, all the components must be slightly thrown on the water bath to a homogeneous consistency. After cooling, damp the twisted cotton swabs into the finished mixture and enter one into the nasal passages.
• For the preparation of drops use the juice of cyclamen bulbs and cool boiled water in a ratio of 1: 1. It is enough to use one drop per day (1 drop in each nostril).

How to prevent complications

Do not self-medicate and delay the visit to the doctor. With proper treatment, already at the first stage of sinusitis, vasoconstrictor drops and sprays help remove symptoms, which remove edema, inflammation and promote the outflow of excretions from the maxillary sinuses. In addition, antiallergic and antibacterial therapy, physical therapy and nose irrigation are performed. With all the prescriptions of the doctor, treatment is less painful and no surgical intervention is required.

The rule, which all the patients must remember is the genyantritis - do no harm. Otherwise, the inflammatory process and pus will pass to other surrounding areas and can penetrate the brain region, soft tissues of the lower jaw, or spread further throughout the body.

First of all, in neglected cases of sinusitis, the eyes suffer. Here there is a loose retina, which very quickly undergoes destruction. As a result, the eyelids acquire a red, swollen appearance, the eyeball protrudes outward.

No less dangerous is the destruction of the walls of the maxillary sinuses, and this is the first sign of the development of purulent osteomyelitis. Alas, in some cases, the course of the disease puncture the nose is simply necessary to save the life of the patient.
