    Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and sinusitis refers to inflammation in the sinus cavity, but sinusitis is quite closely related to the nasal cavity, so most patients with sinusitis have rhinitis. Rhinitis can cause sinusitis. Sinusitis can worsen the symptoms of rhinitis.

    Symptoms of sinusitis disease are:

    One: nasal congestion. Nasal congestion can range from mild to severe, but is usually caused by congestion, swelling of the nasal mucosa and increased discharge, and nasal congestion often causes temporary olfactory disturbances.

    With nasal polyps, the nasal cavity can be completely occluded. If you have a stuffy nose because of a large amount of mucus, you have to blow it out before you can breathe it temporarily, but you will get nasal congestion again soon after.

    Two: Runny nose. The nasal discharge is mostly purulent or mucopurulent, yellow or yellow-green, the amount is uncertain, there is a feeling of inexhaustible blowing, or the feeling of "phlegm" can only be inhaled backward into the pharynx and then spit out, especially for those suffering from sinusitis in the latter group.

    In patients with allergic sinusitis, the nasal discharge often contains a thin blood-like substance. In patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, the thick nose may have a foul odor. **It is recommended to use Xuan Shan Tang Na Daning Rhinitis Essential Oil, herbal extract, healthy and safe.

    Three: headache. It often presents with a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the head, or only a dull or stuffing pain.

    Headaches often occur or worsen when the venous pressure in the head is increased due to bowing the head, coughing, holding breath, or straining, or when smoking, drinking, or being emotional. In odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, it is often accompanied by ipsilateral upper toothache.

    Sinusitis symptoms.

    Everyone knows some about the symptoms of rhinitis, including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, etc. Sinusitis can also have these symptoms, and because the sinus structure is different, there are some special symptoms, the most typical being headache.

    The main reason for nasal congestion during rhinitis attack is that the blood vessels on the nasal mucosa are congested and dilated, and the nasal mucosal cells are filled and swollen, resulting in the nasal mucosa swelling and crowding the nasal passage, causing nasal congestion.

    When sinusitis attacks, the nasal mucosa in the sinuses will also swell, especially the nasal mucosa at the sinus orifice, which will squeeze the sinus ostium passage or even completely block the sinus ostium.

    When rhinitis attacks, we have a runny nose, which is secreted by the nasal mucosa.

    When sinusitis attacks, the nasal mucosa in the sinuses also secretes nasal discharge.

    When the sinus opening is blocked, the nasal mucus in the sinuses cannot get out, it will accumulate more and more, and the pressure in the sinuses will become more and more intense, so that the sinus position will appear more and more obvious pain.

    This pain is dull, and when sinusitis is severe, the headache will be particularly strong, and it can hurt to the point of a white light in front of the eyes, and even spasms and vomiting.

    The nasal discharge in the sinuses accumulates more and more at the same time, it will become more and more viscous, so the nasal discharge of sinusitis is very thick and dark, yellow or green, and most of it is purulent and even foul.

    To sum up, if you have nasal discomfort at the same time, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing, accompanied by headaches, you may have sinusitis.

    If the nasal discharge is very dark in color, or even pus and foul-smelling, it is also likely to have sinusitis.

    Rhinitis can turn into sinusitis, which in turn can further aggravate the symptoms and manifestations of rhinitis. Common types of rhinitis include acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, and many more. These types of rhinitis can lead to the accumulation of inflammatory secretions due to various factors, secondary infection, leading to sinus inflammation.

    The patient has aggravated nasal congestion, more purulent nasal discharge in the nasal passages, and even symptoms such as fever and headache. Therefore, patients with rhinitis need to pay attention to maintaining the smooth drainage of the nasal passages to minimize the chance of sinus inflammation.

    It can turn into sinusitis, that is, it can cause infection in the sinus cavity and cause inflammation, and sinusitis is very difficult, especially chronic sinusitis. Therefore, when there is a cold and nasal congestion and intranasal infection, it must be timely**, otherwise it is very difficult to cause sinusitis**.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-26

    Yes. In the long-term onset of allergic rhinitis, it will cause congestion and edema of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa, and nasal polyps will be produced if the edema does not subside for a long time, and nasal polyps will make the sinuses naturally open or block the entire nasal passage, and block the natural openings of multiple sinuses at the same time, which affects the drainage of the nasal cavity and sinuses, so that the resistance of the nasal cavity and sinuses is significantly reduced.

    Patients may develop sinusitis if they often experience symptoms of rhinitis. Because there is a lot of nasal discharge in the nasal cavity, the mucosa is often inflamed, which can easily lead to the obstruction of the sinus ostium, which is not conducive to the drainage of secretions in the sinus cavity, and finally forms sinusitis.

    Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucosa, including turbinates and nasal septal mucosa. Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinus mucosa deep in the nasal cavity, including the sinuses, sinus cavity mucosa, etc. There are certain differences between rhinitis and sinusitis in terms of **, symptoms, examination and **

    1. **: Rhinitis is generally caused by viral infection, vascular motility or allergic factors, while sinusitis is generally caused by bacterial infection or fungal infection;

    2. Symptoms: Rhinitis is usually manifested as nasal congestion, nasal dryness, itching, loss of sense of smell, watery nasal discharge or white slightly viscous nasal discharge. The manifestations of sinusitis are usually yellow pus nasal discharge, long-term nasal congestion, head drowsiness, headache, memory loss, etc.;

    3. Examination: Nasal mucosal congestion or edema can be seen with the naked eye during the examination of rhinitis patients, and the sinuses are cavities containing air in the skull.

    4. **: Rhinitis can quickly relieve nasal congestion and other discomfort through nasal sprays or oral medications. Patients with sinusitis will take 1-2 months to take medication for a long time in the acute stage.

    Rhinitis surgery usually requires the removal of turbinates to improve ventilation, and sinusitis surgery usually requires enlargement of the sinus opening, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of secretions in the sinus cavity.

    Rhinitis and sinusitis are two diseases, rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal cavity, the submucosal soft tissue of the nasal cavity. Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the mucous membranes of the sinuses, the tissues under the mucosa.

    First of all, these two parts of the disease are different, one is the inflammation of the nasal cavity, the other is the sinuses, the sinuses are in the deep part of the cheeks, the middle of the two eye sockets, and the upper two orbits, in the narrow bone gap, it is divided into four groups, frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, maxillary sinus, sphenoid sinus.

    Therefore, the first part of these two diseases is different, the site of inflammation is different, in terms of symptoms, rhinitis common such as nasal congestion, nasal discharge, nasal discharge, nasal reflux, nasal headache affecting the sense of smell. Sinusitis often has yellow nasal discharge, nasal discharge, and can also affect the loss of smell, loss of smell, and nasal headaches.

    The difference between rhinitis and sinusitis mainly includes the following aspects:

    1.The location of the lesion is different. Rhinitis is inflammation that occurs in the nasal cavity, and sinusitis occurs in the inflammation of the sinuses.

    2.The causes of the disease vary. Rhinitis is mainly caused by a viral infection or a viral infection combined with a bacterial infection. In addition to the causative bacterial infection factors, sinusitis also includes allergic factors and anatomical abnormalities of the nasal cavity and sinuses.

    3.The clinical presentation varies. Rhinitis is mainly manifested by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and systemic symptoms such as fever in acute rhinitis. Sinusitis is mainly manifested by nasal congestion, purulent nasal discharge, headache and other symptoms, sometimes accompanied by memory loss.

    4.Methods are different. The ** of rhinitis is mainly based on drugs, mainly including external nasal spray glucocorticoid drugs, nasal decongestants, oral antibiotics, etc. In sinusitis**, in addition to medications to control inflammation, surgery may be required to open the sinuses.

    The inflammation of rhinitis mainly occurs in the nasal mucosa or submucosal tissues, while the main lesions of sinusitis are in the sinus mucosa and submucosal tissues. The nasal cavity has upper turbinates, middle turbinates, inferior turbinates, and the mucosa of the nasal septum, and the inflammation of these parts is collectively called rhinitis. Each person has four pairs of sinuses, including frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid.

    Inflammation in the sinuses is collectively referred to as sinusitis, or sinusitis may be that there is inflammation in one or both sinuses, or even the whole group of sinuses, which is collectively called sinusitis.

    However, some people believe that rhinitis and sinusitis are just different periods, different conditions, and different Zheng Wei lesions, and belong to the same disease. Because the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and sinuses are continuous, if the body's resistance is strong, rhinitis may be manifested when the pathogenicity is weak; If the patient has poor resistance and strong pathogenicity, and then develops to involve the sinuses, it is sinusitis. Therefore, it is considered to be also called rhinosinusitis, which belongs to the same disease, but the scope and degree of the lesion are different.

    Sinusitis is different from rhinitis, and the differences are as follows:

    1. Rhinitis: It is mainly an inflammation confined to the nasal cavity, mainly the turbinates, nasal septum and nasal mucobridge membrane in the nasal cavity. Acute rhinitis due to an upper respiratory cold, which can lead to edema of the mucosa of the lower turbinates, causing nasal blockage.

    If it is accompanied by a deviated septum, the swollen turbinates will cling to the nasal septum and block the airway, which may also cause headaches due to compression.

    2. Sinusitis: There are 4 pairs of accessory structures of the nasal cavity during the sinuses, including the anterior maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus and posterior group of sphenoid sinuses. In the case of acute rhinitis or chronic rhinitis, long-term nasal obstruction will cause edema and blockage of the mucosa of the nasal passages, maxillary sinuses and ethmoid sinuses, that is, the mucous membrane of the nasal passages complex, resulting in poor drainage of the sinus cavity and sinusitis.

    Therefore, sinusitis is secondary to rhinitis, and if the acute rhinitis is well controlled, it will not form chronic rhinitis or cause sinusitis. However, if it is not well controlled, sinusitis can occur due to sinus drainage problems due to nasal blockage.
