Not always colds without a tracepass, sometimes after them develops an inflammatory process in the maxillary paranasal sinuses - sinusitis. If the disease is not treated, it will go into a chronic form. How to choose the best remedy for sinusitis? Read about this in the article.
Antibiotics
Such drugs are quite effective inToday often are appointed by otolaryngologists. They suppress the infection and stop the spread of pathogens. But to say that antibacterial drugs - this is the best remedy for sinusitis, it would be wrong. In the case when the disease is provoked by viruses, they do not bring benefit, and can even do much harm. Consult a doctor before using antibiotics. The specialist will determine the severity of the inflammatory process and its nature, on the basis of what it will say whether you need to take such medications or not. When choosing a medicine, it is also necessary to take into account the sensitivity of the bacteria that caused the disease to it.
We list the antibacterial agents for the treatment of sinusitis, giving a good result:
1. "Amoxicillin".This is a penicillin antibiotic. If no positive changes are observed during the application for three days, replace it with a drug from the group of cephalosporins or with the drug "Amoxiclav".
2. "Clarithromycin", "Azithromycin", "Macropen".These are macrolides, which are prescribed in the case when the penicillins are not tolerated by the patient, and cephalosporins can not be used, since they are cross-allergic.
3. "Sparfloxacin", "Levofloxacin" - fluoroquinolones, used when other antibacterial agents are ineffective.
4. Bioparox.Refers to topical (local) antibiotics. This is the best remedy for sinusitis in the case when the inflammation has an easy degree. At a severe stage of the disease, such a drug is prescribed as an additional.
Vasoconstrictors
With such an ailment as sinusitis, the outflow is disturbedmucus from the maxillary paranasal sinuses, as a result of which a pathogen-friendly medium is formed. To restore the process of self-cleaning of the sinuses, decongestants are used - vasoconstrictive drugs, produced in the form of sprays and drops. They affect the tone of the capillaries in the nose, contribute to the reduction in the mucous membrane of the nasal concha of the cavernous tissue. As a result, the nasal passages expand and breathing improves.
Select one of the vasoconstrictive medicinesthe most effective remedy for sinusitis is not possible - the choice in favor of a particular medicine should depend on the clinical picture. All drugs vary in duration and severity of action. The most common medicines are Adranol, Vibrocil, Otryvin, Galazolin, Tizin Xylo, Foranos, Nazol and Sanorin. Decongestants are good remedies for the treatment of sinusitis, but they can not be used for more than ten days (for some drugs the duration of intake should be even less). The fact is that in the case of long-term use in the nasal cavity arises marked swelling, which entails a change in the structure of the mucous membrane.
Dosage form
The form of release of a medicine is very important.Ordinary drops are difficult to dose, often with their use, most of the medicine drains from the nasal cavity to the pharynx. As a consequence, the therapeutic effect is not always achieved, but there may be a threat of overdose. The injection of drops from the balloon, which must be compressed with fingers, is fraught with the same problems. Therefore, it is recommended to give preference to sprays in solid bottles.
Mucolytic drugs
Such medications are used to reduceviscosity of mucus. The most famous mucolytic remedy for sinusitis is "Acetylcysteine." In addition to the basic pharmacological properties, the drug also exhibits antioxidant activity, thereby achieving its interaction with oxidative toxins. The most common mucolytic remedy for sinusitis of plant origin is Sinupret. By increasing the activity of the cilia of the epithelium, it makes it possible to accelerate the secretion of pathological secretions. More information about this drug will be described later.
Corticosteroids
For the treatment of inflammation of the nasal sinusesdrugs are used in the form of nasal sprays. They produce anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as reduce secretion of the glands of the nasal mucosa and eliminate swelling of the tissues. The most effective remedy for maxillary sinusitis from the number of corticosteroids is "Nazonex." Momethasone is an active component of this medication. If the inflammation has a mild degree, the drug "Nazonex" can be used as a monotherapy (without prescribing other medications). In other cases, it is used as an adjunct against antibiotic therapy.
Immunomodulators
These are substances that regulate the functioning ofimmune system. In the case of an inflammation of the nasal sinuses, drugs of bacterial origin are prescribed that stimulate humoral and cellular immunity. The best immunomodulating agent for sinusitis is "Broncho-munal". The "Ribomunil" medication is also considered effective. They are used as part of complex treatment, as well as to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Homeopathic remedies
Therapy of the inflammatory process in the sinuses of the nosehomeopathy in modern society is becoming increasingly popular. Phytopreparations are developed on the basis of extracts of various plants and do not contain, as a rule, any chemistry, which means that they are absolutely safe for humans, practically have no contraindications to use and do not cause side effects.

The extract of its root just contains as an active ingredient a remedy for sinusitis "Sinuforte". Cyclamenum has a liquefying effect on the receptors of the mucosa, increases the secretion of the pathological secretion and facilitates its outflow from the maxillary sinuses.
The drug, according to the conclusion of the leadingspecialists in the field of otolaryngology, it is optimal to use at the initial stages of sinusitis development, as well as with long-term cold coryza. In such cases, the "Sinuforte" remedy effectively and as quickly as possible removes the painful manifestations and prevents the occurrence of complications. Symptoms such as facial and headache, fever, nasal congestion, as a rule, completely disappear on the third day of treatment.

Such agents help reduce the viscosity of mucus, increase the activity of cilia of ciliated epithelium. They also narrow the vessels of the nasal mucosa somewhat.
