According to dr. Armelia, SpTHT, ENT specialists from the Hospital Mitra Kemayoran, Jakarta said sinusitis is an infection that occurred in the sinus cavity. Sinus cavity is a cavity-walled bone that contains air.
Sinusitis has symptoms similar to influenza. This causes people who suffered illness considers only the common cold. Sinusitis rarely attacked the baby, this was due to the baby, some undeveloped sinuses.
Humans have some sinus. Among them:
1. Maxillary sinus (in cheek), newly developed at the age of 4-5 years
2. Ethmoid sinuses (between the eyes), developed at the age of 8-10 years
3. Frontal sinus (forehead), develops after a person was a teenager
4. Sphenoid sinus (behind the eye)
Sinusitis can be related to one sinus, and even more. Said to have acute sinusitis when it happened is still under two weeks. And chronic if it has been said to occur more than three months.
Acute sinusitis characterized by fever symptoms, fever, pain in the sinus infection, runny nose, thick yellow-green nasal mucus, lenders are flowing into the throat, severe colds, and headache. Usual treatment given to patients with acute sinusitis usually antibiotics, drug busting swelling, and mucus-thinning drug.
Chronic sinusitis have symptoms smelly snot, mucus flowing down her throat constantly, sometimes accompanied by a prolonged cough, and headaches are not lost even when given the drug. Treatment for patients experiencing chronic sinusitis as well as the treatment performed for patients with acute sinusitis, but the plus physiotherapy. If within two weeks of no improvement, then consider surgery through endoscopic sinus surgery / FESS (Fungctional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery). Operations carried out through the nostrils, so do not worry will cause scars on the skin incisions. Average operating time that is needed is a -+2 hours. After surgery, patients need to be admitted during the day. And after four days, patients are required to control, to open a tampon inserted in the nasal cavity. Furthermore, once a week the patient can control once a week to clean the dried blood that remains.

Prolonged flu can lead to lenders from the nose into the sinus cavity. Mucus into the sinus cavity can no longer get out into the nasal cavity, due to a hole that connects the nasal cavity and sinus cavities closed due to swollen nasal flu sufferers. This mucus will cause infection, so called as a sinusitis.
Someone who has the talent sinus. Tract anatomical abnormalities of the nasal sinus cavities. There are some people who have a funnel nose and sinus cavity is narrow (osteo metal complex). But no doubt also someone who suffers osteo metals complex will always be affected by sinus disease.
A person suffering from osteo metal complexes are more susceptible to sinusitis if he suffered from allergies. Because allergies are often times makes my nose mucus. If the allergy attacks occur often enough, while he has a channel between the sinus cavity with a narrow nose, then the risk of entry of secretions into the sinus cavity is very large.
Sinusitis should be overcome as easy to relapse, especially for those who suffer from allergies. And if you're relapse, the disease can interfere with activities. Disorders of the most noticeable is the headache that never healed. If the disease is not addressed, then it was likely to spread to surrounding organs so that they can cause inflammation of the lining of the brain (if mucus flow to the brain), sinobronch
