How to treat maxillary sinusitis

Maxillary sinusitis is divided into chronic maxillary sinusitis and acute maxillary sinusitis. Patients with acute maxillary sinusitis first need good rest, and then through the treatment of antibiotics and hormones, the symptoms of maxillary sinusitis can be gradually relieved after the nasal drainage is unobstructed. For patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis, the treatment methods are mainly divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment is mainly through the use of vasoconstrictors and nasal steroids, and then improve nasal ventilation and drainage. In addition, maxillary sinusitis can also be treated by washing or puncturing the maxillary sinus. For patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment, surgery is required. There are two methods of surgery. The first is the traditional method of sinusitis surgery, such as maxillary sinus intranasal windowing or maxillary sinus drainage surgery. The disadvantage of this method is that it is not thorough enough and the trauma is relatively large. At present, the current general treatment is mainly functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which is an operation method for sinusitis based on traditional sinus surgery. This method has definite curative effect, fine operation, less trauma to patients, and generally high cure rate for treatment.
