The main differences between rhinitis and rhinosinusitis

🤒 Unfortunately, in many cases, people tend to self-diagnose and start treatment without consulting a doctor. As a result, a person will incorrectly identify the disease and, as a result, will be treated incorrectly.

🧑 ⚕️ The best way to prevent this is to see a doctor under any circumstances. Doctors at Mother's House are always ready to provide professional assistance not only to children, but also to adults.

🤧 A good example is rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. It may seem to some that these are two similar diseases, but they have both common features and many differences. During rhinitis (and it can be a symptom of various diseases), the inflammation is limited only to the mucous membrane of the nose, that is, we get a runny nose. At the same time, rhinosinusitis is an independent disease that includes inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavities and sinuses and may be accompanied by headache, impaired sense of smell, and other symptoms.

🧸 Therefore, the methods of treatment of rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are different, and accurate diagnosis of the disease and timely treatment can greatly facilitate and speed up the recovery process. Therefore, it is best to consult a pediatrician in case of disturbing symptoms. We are waiting for you at Mother's House any day.
