Symptoms of paranasal sinusitis

Runny nose: most of them are purulent, yellow, green or grayish green. In patients with long course of disease, the nasal mucus may have breath. The runny nose often flows to the throat through the posterior nostril. The patient feels that there is sputum in the throat and often spits it out after suction through the throat. Dizziness, headache: chronic sinusitis is characterized by heavy head, and headache may occur in acute attack, which is caused by poor internal drainage of sinuses.

Nasal obstruction: it is caused by hyperemia of nasal mucosa, hypertrophy of turbinate or nasal polyps. Sometimes, it can be alleviated after blowing out the nose due to too much pus. When lying down and resting on one side, the upper nostril ventilates, and the lower nostril becomes stuffy.

Within 24 hours, there will be a small amount of oozing fluid and blood in the nasal cavity, and there will be slight headache, tears and other discomfort. Do not be nervous and keep the nose clean. After 24-48 hours, the doctor will take out the packing according to the patient's condition. If there is a plastic drainage tube in the nasal cavity, please keep it fixed and unobstructed.
