Scientists have already proven that sinusitis can be infected by airborne droplets. It is better to see a doctor and he will prescribe a treatment. Just do not agree to make a puncture!

YULIYA****

You can not get infected, it's a residual phenomenon after a cold and a cold. It is treated only with antibiotics. Sensations are creepy, it breaks the bridge of the nose and half a forehead

Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary (paranasal) sinuses.
The most common condition preceded by sinusitis is the common cold. Under the influence of microbes, cell damage and mucosal edema occur. This creates favorable conditions for the development of bacteria. With the long existence of such a condition, changes in the mucosa may become irreversible, and the disease will become chronic. Other factors contributing to the occurrence of sinusitis: allergic rhinitis, foreign bodies of the nasal cavity, curvature of the nasal septum, trauma, etc.

Classic signs of sinusitis are nasal congestion and purulent discharge from the nose, a feeling of heaviness in both sides of the wings of the nose, pain, decreased sense of smell, increased body temperature (usually within 37-38 degrees). In addition, there is headache, malaise, weakness, fatigue.
In the chronic course of maxillary sinusitis, fatigue, decreased capacity for work, memory impairment, and headache come first.

full of delirium, genyantritis (and others like him: frontal sinusitis, etc.). ) do not become infected... herself with the "experience" of the front-line to the 12-year-old, I thought I would never get rid of this illness... Thank God, I have not been "friends" with this disgrace for 16 years... Th need to - ask... the symptoms of each individual, but firstly it hurts head heavier in the area where the paranasal sinusitis (usually the forehead, the nose on the side, the overhead in someone else)... do not run a sore!!! It's dangerous, because it's close to the brains... and please do not self-medicate, using so-called. "folk remedies"!! Go to the LOR.

Infections of the sinusitis are contagious or not?

Inflammation of the maxillary sinus with damage to the mucosa is called a sinusitis. It is contagious for sinusitis - this question is asked by many who have come across this disease. The disease, which begins as a common cold, and at first does not cause fear. But you can not leave it without attention. In severe form, the bone tissue of the maxillary sinus wall can be affected. The disease can occur in both acute and chronic forms. The acute form is most common in children.

Etiology of the disease

The causes of acute sinusitis can be:

• rhinitis;
• flu;
• chronic tonsillitis;
• severe allergies;
• pharyngitis;
• presence of adenoids;
• infectious diseases;
• defects of the nasal septum;
• various dental diseases.

Pathogens are bacteria, viruses and fungi. Staphylococcus, streptococcus, chlamydia, mycoplasma penetrate through the blood or the nasal cavity. Identify the cause of the onset and development of the disease can be after examination or analysis. When contacting a doctor after a primary examination, the patient is referred to an X-ray, a smear is taken from the nasal cavity, then Based on the survey, the attending physician can make an accurate diagnosis and designate an appropriate treatment.

There is no specific pathogen of maxillary sinusitis, a bacterial infection often replaces a viral infection, and the swollen sinus becomes replaced by a sinus infection.Since this is a paired organ, usually, the inflammatory process affects both sinuses and the patient will be diagnosed with bilateral maxillary sinusitis.

Bacteria that cause this disease are pyogenic, and inflammation occurs when they are directly on the mucous membrane or on the open wound surface. Is it contagious? It is considered that the discharge from the nasal cavity does not cause harm to others, therefore, sinusitis is not a contagious disease.

Symptoms of the disease

The otolaryngologist can diagnose, but already at the first symptoms of rhinitis, especially in children, it is necessary to take measures, apply to a medical institution and begin treatment. Fears are that, not being a contagious disease, sinusitis occurs against the background of an acute respiratory viral infection. Everyone knows how dangerous both for children and adults can be a common cold at first glance. Sometimes even a gauze bandage on the face is not enough to protect against the spread of microbes when sneezing or coughing. Runny nose, resulting from such infection, with insufficient treatment can take a protracted character and go to sinusitis. Symptoms of a beginning cold are well known:

• malaise;
• headache;
• edema of the nasal mucosa;
• coryza;
• subfebrile temperature (3, ° C);
• swelling of the face.

If, despite the treatment of a cold, the symptoms remain the same, then it is necessary to visit the ENT doctor's office. It is possible that because of the difficult outflow of exudate, mucus accumulates in the sinuses, promotes reproduction of pathogenic bacteria and contributes to the occurrence of such a dangerous disease as sinusitis.

Understand that the cold gradually passed into the inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, if the main symptoms were added:

• a headache that occurs despite the absence of fever;
• feeling of flaring of the wings of the nose;
• increasing the amount of nasal discharge;
• mucous discharge becomes purulent;
• violation or absence of smell;
• sensation of an unpleasant smell or taste of pus;
• increased edema of the face;
• pain in the nose, brow and forehead.

The discharge from the nose becomes white, yellowish, purulent. In the initial stage of the disease, the nasal mucosa, blood vessels are affected, and with delayed treatment in a more severe form of the disease, damage to bone tissue is also possible. In this stage, sinusitis becomes especially dangerous, as it is possible to spread the infection and the occurrence of complications related to the proximity of the brain. The most severe form of inflammation of the maxillary sinuses can cause such diseases as meningitis, damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and sometimes even the maxillary periostitis. From such serious diseases you can die, if not treated.

Sinusitis is contagious or not? All these complex, severe diseases are not contagious, but their occurrence is caused by neglected or not cured cold, the causative agents of which spread by airborne droplets.

Sinusitis and children

The most susceptible to the disease are those who have weakened immunity.

Consequently, primarily sinusitis is dangerous for the elderly, pregnant women and children. Children closely contact each other, do not always follow the rules of personal hygiene, do not protect themselves from the sick, using cotton-gauze bandages or surgical face masks. Is it possible in school or kindergarten? Therefore, this disease among children is transmitted very quickly. Of course, all the responsibility for the health of children rests with parents and educators.

The sinusitis in children proceeds in an acute form and is not transmitted to each other, against the background of acute respiratory infections, especially when the child returns to a children's institution (kindergarten or school) until the final recovery. Children are a source of infection for others. At an early age, sinusitis can provoke visual, hearing, and sense of smell. If parents notice any of these problems, they should immediately show the child to the otolaryngologist. It is important to remember that the maxillary sinus borders on the brain and the upper jaw. The ingress of pus in the upper respiratory tract can cause and their diseases, taking a timely form without chronic treatment.

How to diagnose and treat sinusitis

Primary diagnosis for the correct diagnosis includes:

1. Examination using a special ENT instrumentation, palpation in the sinus area, during which the doctor, pressing on the teeth, can determine the degree of soreness and the degree of inflammation process.
2. Laboratory tests, including a smear with mucous membrane, blood tests, examination of exudate.
3. Endoscopic examination, which is carried out under local anesthesia and allows to detect the presence of polyps or other reasons preventing the excretion of mucus from the sinus into the nasal cavity.
4. X-ray of the sinuses, which can be seen damage to the bone or changes and deformation of the nasal septum.
5. Conduction of allergic tests. The reaction to various allergens is nasal congestion, leading to the emergence of chronic sinusitis.

If the doctor diagnosed acute sinusitis, then it is necessary to perform such procedures as inhalation and the use of nasal drops or sprays to remove swelling of the mucosa. With prolonged course of catarrhal disease, course or local treatment with antibacterial drugs is prescribed. When prescribing topical antibiotic use, medication is administered directly to the maxillary sinuses and are often used in conjunction with sinus washing with a catheter or with puncture (puncture). At systemic treatment antibiotics accept in the form of tablets or injections.

A special place is occupied by odontogenic sinusitis, associated with the presence of diseases of the posterior upper teeth, the presence of a cyst or a purulent pulpitis. In this case, treatment of all associated diseases and the help of dentists are necessary.

In some cases, sinusitis resumed at the first cold. This means that the disease has passed into a chronic form. Treatment of chronic sinusitis is impossible without the behavior of procedures such as puncture. The essence of this operation is that the purulent contents of the maxillary sinus are removed after puncturing its wall with a special needle. Having freed the sinus from the pus, it is washed with a solution of the antibiotic.

Prophylaxis of maxillary sinusitis is first of all timely treatment of the common cold, flu, diseases of the oral cavity, performance of all prescriptions made by an ENT doctor. Only in this case, the diseased will not pose a threat to others, spreading the infection.

Whether it is possible to catch a genyantritis?

Answers:

Tatyana Timofeeva

Sinusitis is not contagious
Causes of sinusitis
The development of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinuses is facilitated by various conditions:

congenital anatomical disorders of the nasal cavity - an increase in nasal concha, curvature of the septum, etc. ;
proliferation in the nasal passages - polyps, various tumors, etc. ;
weakening of the body's immunity - for example, with acute infection;
allergic diseases;
various adverse environmental factors.

HAIMORIT is one of the most common types of SINUSIT - inflammation of the paranasal sinuses.
A feature of all paranasal sinuses, which includes the maxillary sinus, is the fact that, being sufficiently volumetric formations, they have very small outlets (1-3 mm) - anastomoses, with which the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Therefore, when the edema of the mucous membrane of the anastomosis is closed, the outflow of mucus from the sinuses is broken, in the sinus begins to develop bacterial (sometimes fungal) flora and there is inflammation, which can be purulent, serous, hemorrhagic and other
CAUSES OF THE GENETIC
HAIMORIT (maxillary sinusitis) - inflammation of the maxillary (maxillary) sinus. Sinusitis usually occurs as a complication against a background of a viral infection (ARVI). This is an acute sinusitis. Inflammation of the sinuses can manifest itself in a few days and even weeks, after passing the acute symptoms of colds
Sometimes (in 10% of cases), sinusitis develops as a result of the transition of inflammation from the roots of molars located near the maxillary sinus. In these cases, the sinusitis proceeds in an erased form for a fairly long time.
Rareer causes of sinusitis are pressure drops during diving and flight on an airplane.

Tina

Not at all. This is the result of untreated colds.

No, but you can get infected with a cold, you can start this business and voila - sinusitis)

Deborah 1st sip-sip TDV

sinusitis is a chronic disease, it is not an infection

Portnov Konstantin

Once a year and the rake shoot :)

Kyle Broflowski

NO. This transitional disease is the result of an untreated infection.
Under sinusitis, inflammation of the mucous membrane, sometimes also of the bone walls of the maxillary (maxillary) sinus, is of infectious nature. Not rarely sinusitis occurs as a complication of viral infections, when the immune system of the body is weakened, Nasal mucosa swollen, outflow from the sinus is difficult, and bacterial infection has a favorable environment for reproduction. Symptoms of sinusitis are: pain in the area of ​​the affected sinus - the face area, stuffiness of the corresponding half of the nose, mucous or purulent discharge from the nose. Otorhinolaryngologists often establish such diagnoses as maxillary sinusitis.

Maria Kudina

Yeah, only when these "droplets" for a long time you keep in yourself and they fill the maxillary sinuses ..

Genyantritis, this is the absorption of the maxillary sinuses, which can be caused by various causes. For example, staphylococcus or caries tooth, if its roots are in the maxillary sinus. Some people have a predisposition to congestion of the maxillary sinuses of the nose, so any infection can settle there ...

Genyantritis is contagious? Or is it transferred individually?

Answers:

Irina Kopieva

Genyantritis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, if you have yours. It is the peculiarities of the device of your nose and the bad tolerance of infections to you, and not an infection for her own sake. Tempered - and you will be like steel!

It is not contagious

Ksyusha Gribanova

Individual.
