Things that happen if you don't have sinus surgery... the beginning of endless suffering

As soon as I wake up in the morning, I feel suffocated because of nasal congestion, making it hard to breathe.
Is your head heavy and yellow nasal mucus constantly dripping from your nose?
It could just be a simple cold...
Are you possibly suffering from sinusitis?

 

The official name is 'sinusitis'.
Inflammation occurs in the empty space around the nose (sinuses),
This condition occurs when the space becomes blocked, leading to pus accumulation, and the symptoms gradually worsen.

 

Reasons why you shouldn't just endure this sinusitis.
I'll especially tell you what could happen if you don't have sinusitis surgery.

Sinusitis symptoms are much more painful than I thought.

 

The symptoms of sinusitis are not simply at the level of "stuffy nose."
A constant flow of yellow nasal mucus,
My throat is itchy because of post-nasal drip that goes back into my nose.
I keep coughing, and I even have a headache, so I can't concentrate and just feel irritated.

 

Furthermore, my face feels heavy and painful.
I can no longer smell well, so my daily life has become very exhausting.
Many people also feel like they have chronic fatigue.

If these symptoms persist for more than three months,
It is highly likely that it has already progressed to chronic sinusitis.

There are cases where it can be cured with medication, but... there are limitations.

 

Most people get better by taking medication for sinusitis, but
That is only true when it is acute.

Initially, antibiotics and steroid sprays,
It can be controlled with medications such as expectorants or antihistamines.
However, chronic sinusitis is a different story.

Even after using medication for more than 4 to 6 weeks, it does not improve.
Symptoms often tend to recur or worsen.

This is the time to seriously consider 'sinusitis surgery'.

Sinusitis drainage? Saline irrigation is key!

 

The core of sinusitis is pus, that is, purulence.
You need to excrete this well for the symptoms to improve.

 

Therefore, "saline irrigation" is really important.

Twice a day, morning and evening,
Fill a syringe or cleaning tool with lukewarm saline solution.
It is a method of gently rinsing out the inside of the nose.

 

Without feeling pain or coldness in the ears
A tip for staying safe is to open your mouth and say "Ah~"!
After cleaning, remember to gently loosen each nostril one at a time.

The real problem is what happens if you don't have sinus surgery...

 

The most important point here!
What happens if you don't have sinusitis surgery?

The symptoms persist,
The pus accumulates, causing the mucous membrane to swell even more.
Eventually, the natural airway (air passage) becomes completely blocked.

 

Chronic inflammation
👉 Cyst formation
👉 Loss of sense of smell
👉 Decreased concentration
👉 Risk of complications such as eye and brain diseases

 

At this point, everyday life itself becomes difficult.

In severe cases, it can lead to serious complications such as meningitis or osteomyelitis.
The real "disease that must not be neglected" is sinusitis.

Surgery, don't always see it as just scary.

 

These days, they insert an endoscope into the nose.
The trend is to perform precise surgeries without external scars.

Hospital stays are short, and recovery is quick.
Proper post-surgical care can also reduce the risk of recurrence.

The important thing is "post-surgery care"!

Saline solution rinsing is essential.
Consistently follow the map and visit the outpatient clinic regularly.
You can recover properly.

Conclusion: Visiting the hospital for sinusitis is the faster option.

 

Do not delay if you have symptoms of sinusitis.
Go to the hospital early for diagnosis,
If possible, medication treatment is the best option, but
When necessary, surgical options should be actively considered.

 

If you don't have sinus surgery, you'll suffer endlessly.
Because the quality of life also drops significantly.

 

Don't just brush it off as "probably just a cold."
If cough persists for more than three weeks, along with yellow nasal discharge and headache
Visiting an otolaryngologist at least once is truly a wise choice. 👍👍
