What causes sinusitis?
Dr. Leung Chi Kwan of Arcadia Chinese and Western Medicine Rhinology Research Center said that the above symptoms are sinusitis, which is divided into acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. It is a purulent inflammation of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinus cavity. The structure of the nose resembles a four-story building with a basement, with a septum in the middle separating the two nasal cavities, and eight sinuses and a total of a dozen orifices with other concave and convex orifices surrounding the nasal cavities, which are filled with rich mucous membranes (the sinuses are located on the second, third and fourth floors, and there is a “pipeline” connecting them to one another. This disease often depends on the patient's resistance, the number of episodes and causes simple or multiple sinusitis episodes, the causes are as follows.
The causes of sinusitis are as follows: I. Systemic etiology: Mostly due to lowered resistance, after over-exertion, exposure to dampness and cold, poor diet and nutrition, poor hygiene of living and working environment, in addition to idiosyncratic body constitution, systemic diseases (e.g., anaemia, diabetes mellitus), endocrine disorders (thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and gonadal insufficiency), upper respiratory tract infections, and acute infectious diseases (e.g., influenza, measles, and scarlet fever, etc.), etc., which can all lead to the development of the disease.
II. Local etiology: It occurs after acute and chronic rhinitis, curvature of nasal septum, hypertrophy of nasal turbinates, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, nasal foreign bodies and tumors, etc. All of them can obstruct the nasal passages and impede the ventilation and drainage and lead to the development of the disease.
III. Infections of neighboring organs: inflammation of tonsils, hypertrophy of adenoids, chronic myelitis, etc. can cause the disease.
IV. Direct infection: trauma to the sinuses such as broken bones in car accidents or penetration of foreign objects, as well as improper swimming and diving, caused by squeezing of sewage into the sinuses.
How do Chinese medicine doctors recognize sinusitis?
The disease can be divided into deficiency and actual disease; the actual disease has a rapid onset and a short duration, while the deficiency disease has a long duration and is difficult to heal. The high incidence of this disease will affect work and study, and even cause serious complications, leading to adverse consequences, so it should be actively prevented and treated. Because sinusitis is often secondary to an exogenous infection or acute rhinitis or chronic rhinitis, it starts with cold and fever, loss of appetite, malaise, etc. Child patients may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough, etc.; after prolonged and frequent episodes, it makes some people fidgety, agitated, easily emotional, unable to concentrate, and some children seem to be hyperactive. Sinusitis may be induced by sinusitis.
As wind-heat and evil toxins in the lung meridian congest the nasal orifices, there is nasal congestion and turbid nasal mucus; wind-heat and other evils interfere with the clear orifices, the meridians are congested, and yang qi is blocked, so it can cause different kinds of headaches. As the disease progresses, the nasal mucus becomes more turbid and the headache worsens, and there is often thirst, dry and secret stools, and short and reddish urine. Thin yellow tongue coating or grayish white with little fluid and floating pulse.
In addition, there is damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, and the gastric artery follows the side of the nose. If one is addicted to alcohol, thick flavors and creams, the damp-heat evil toxin will steam upward through the meridians and concentrate in the sinuses, burning the mucous membranes in the sinuses.
The bile meridian is hot, the bile is a rigid organ that hosts phase fire, and its gas passes through the brain. If the emotions are not smooth, the rage and anger are out of order, the bile loses its excretion, and the anger turns into fire, the fire of the bile goes upward through the meridian, and moves the heat into the brain, injuring the sinus and burnt the qi, blood, and corrosive burns on the muscular membranes, and the heat refines and immerses the liquid and creates the mucous, which is the snot, or if the heat of the bile meridian is abundant, and the heat evaporates upward in the brain, it forces the Jin to participate in the next and become ill.
Each sinus belongs to a different meridian, and the location and pressure of each lesion are also different; the headaches caused are also different and can be roughly categorized as follows.
Inflammation of the butterfly sinus and the posterior sieve sinus: the headache is located at the top of the head, at the base of the skull, or deep in the eyeballs, radiating to the occipital region and connecting to the neck and the back of the ears, and is often felt as neck discomfort, which belongs to the solar meridian, and is mild when waking up in the morning, but worsens in the afternoon.
In sinusitis of the palatine sinus, the headache is located in the frontal area and cheeks, and connects to the upper teeth, which belongs to the Yang-Ming meridian, and is mild in the morning and severe in the afternoon.
In frontal sinus and anterior group sinusitis: headache is located in the frontal-temporal area of the forehead, brow, etc. It is cyclical and belongs to the Shao-Yang meridian. It is mild and gradually aggravated in the morning, and the eyesight tends to deteriorate or there is pseudo-myopia.
