Antritis

Antritis is a state at which at the patient the Highmore's adnexal bosom of a nose inflames. Pneumatic cavities are located in bones of a human skull. They are covered by a mucous membrane. The Highmore's bosom is located in an upper jaw and is pair body. Both bosoms are connected to a nose through an opening which diameter makes about 1-3 mm. Therefore, at hypostasis of a mucous membrane this small opening is completely closed, and slime collects in Highmore's bosoms. The similar phenomenon becomes the contributing factor for active reproduction of bacteria. As a result, at the person antritis develops.

Antritis reasons

As the reason of antritis the infection extending in a Highmore's bosom is meant. Infection comes either through blood, or from the nasal course. Antritis at children and at adults is rather often shown in the course of the acute period of flu, at cold, measles and some other diseases. Also the disease can be complication of the specified illnesses. Sometimes allergic reaction which provokes hypostasis of a mucous membrane becomes the reason of antritis also. Often symptoms of antritis are shown at patients who have diseases of gums, and also caries of chewing upper teeth. In view of a subtlety of the lower wall of a Highmore's bosom pathogenic microorganisms can get inside and provoke development of antritis.

The high risk of development of antritis takes place and at people with polyps in a nose and with other disturbances of correctness of structure of a nose. Symptoms of antritis are more often shown at people who smoke the long period. Besides manifestation of symptoms of antritis can be promoted by usual and prolonged use of sprays and drops for a nose with vasoconstrictive influence.

Antritis symptoms

Antritis at children and adults can sharply be shown, and also proceed in a chronic form. At a chronic illness symptoms of antritis can not disappear even several months. At the same time specialists insist that treatment of antritis of a chronic form needs to be made as soon as possible, its current can change the general state mucous a nose. As a result the susceptibility of the person to infections sharply raises.

Symptoms of antritis are shown at once after slime accumulation. It is difficult for patient to breathe through a nose in view of its strong congestion. At the person at the same time the voice can be reversed, it loses sense of smell, also taste partially disappears. It is necessary to breathe at antritis through a mouth. Often there are also purulent discharges from a nose which have green or yellowish color and unpleasantly smell. However, often antritis proceeds in general without cold as openings of bosoms can be blocked completely.

Besides, symptoms of antritis are shown by pain of which indistinct localization is characteristic. So, the person can suffer from headaches, sometimes pain gives to an upper jaw. If the patient bends or moves the head, then pain can amplify. Strengthening of unpleasant feelings is also often observed in the late afternoon.
