Sinusitis is a common condition very present in the infectious airways. It occurs when there is an infectious and inflammatory process within the paranasal sinuses, called bells. The condition, which seems simple, can be very dangerous. This is because a scarcely healed sinusitis can lead to death, he warns dr. Fernão Bevilacqua, doctor’s doctor of the Alpha Institute of Communication and Hearing.




The dangers of a bad sinusitis

According to the expert, without adequate treatment, sinusitis can generate a series of complications. “The patient has olfactory alteration, secretion, face pain, which can evolve into a cellulite on the face (infectious infectious process in subcutaneous tissue)”, warns the doctor.

In addition, inflammation can evolve and reach the deep vessels of the skull, which lead to brain irrigation. “It can cross Papyan’s lama that separates the orbit and cause visual changes and lead to blindness. Therefore a complicated sinusitis is a very serious picture that needs all attention, hospitalization and antibiotics. It is a picture that needs a lot of medical treatment,” says the expert.

  • Swelling on the face or around the eyes;
  • High fever;
  • Bad and persistent smell in the nose (over 4 days).

According to Dr. Fernão, it is important to be aware of the paintings when worsening, which can happen without adequate treatment. “Therefore, in the case of light symptoms that do not improve with washing, nasal spray or other homemade measures, it is always necessary to look for a doctor to carry out an evaluation in order to avoid serious paintings of the disease,” says the expert.

Understanding why the car -Medic is not a good idea

In the case of respiratory diseases such as sinusitis, it is very common for the patient to resort to the car -Media. However, the practice is strongly fought by the experts. According to Dr. Fernão, whenever the person who car -didactic can mask serious diseases, or infections or symptoms, so doctors take a long time to act. “Therefore, a person should never be cars -medici,” he says.

“It is one thing to do a prevention treatment, such as nasal washing. When symptoms of light occur, which do not interrupt the quality of life, the patient can take symptoms at the beginning of the disease, but never take antibiotics and never use corticosteroids without medical consensus. This is because these things can mask and select bacteria, generating a much more complex picture than it was”.

For the professional, the ideal is always to look for a medical evaluation, even if he is in the emergency room or in the emergency room. The ideal is always to pass with an otorhine. “So, it has persistent nasal symptoms for more than five days, fever and changes already on the skin and with a worsening of symptoms, you must always look for the doctor”, strengthens.
