Therapy
A deviation of the nasal septum or polyps (small protuberances in the nasal mucosa) can promote the occurrence of sinusitis, as the flow of secretions can be impaired. These anatomical changes can be treated surgically in cases of high suffering or frequent or chronic sinusitis. Allergies to house dust mites or pollen also lead to chronic nasal runny nose and can promote sinusitis.
Prophylaxis
Especially in the cold winter months the immune system should be strengthened and getting cold should be avoided. Warm clothing, regular airing in rooms that become dry from the heating air, sufficient liquid and avoiding contact with people who have a cold are important for this.
