Reviews

• Alina, 32 years old: "Not so long ago I began to notice that I periodically burst into tears, began to pawn my nose, I had a nose bridge and an area near my eyes. At first I thought it was a common cold. But when the symptoms did not pass, but on the contrary, began to increase, I decided to go to the hospital. The doctor has diagnosed me an etmoiditis of an acute form. Has appointed or nominated to me antiinflammatory or anti-inflammatory preparations, vasoconstrictive drops and a lavage of a nose broth from grasses. Antibiotics did not apply, because my condition had already improved in a week. "
• Svetlana, 25 years old: "Because of my inattention, I decided a very long time for a cold, not knowing that I have an ethmoiditis. When I realized that this was not ARVI, it was too late, as the ethmoiditis passed into a chronic stage. There was no point in treating the disease, so I was assigned an operative intervention. They performed the procedure under general anesthesia, so I did not feel anything. When the polyps were removed, my condition improved and my breathing regained. "
• Andrei, 47 years old: "I did not cure a cold, as a result of which I began to have some strange symptoms: nausea, vomiting, pain in the head, redness in the corners of the eyes. At a doctor's appointment, I was diagnosed with ethmoiditis. The treatment was complex, because I was prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, vasoconstrictive drops and the use of tampons with homemade ointment. I fulfilled all the prescriptions of the doctor, and I managed to defeat the disease in 3 weeks. "

Etomoiditis is an unpleasant and insidious disease that requires immediate treatment. Its danger is that for a long time the patient does not even feel any pathological changes, and in the meantime, the etmoiditis becomes chronic, and in this case it will be much more difficult to treat the ailment.
