Different Types of Maxillary Sinusitis
There are two types of maxillary infection. The first type is acute sinusitis. This can be treated easily because clinical symptoms such as pain in the cheek or maxillary teeth are obvious and can easily be resolved with antibacterial medicines
On the other hand, chronic sinusitis is harder to treat because the clinical symptoms are sometimes not present. During this time, polyps are forming in the sinus
Chronic maxillary surgery can be the best treatment in this case because of the presence of polyps. Polyps are grape-lie swollen lining of the sinus that blocks the air passage
The patient can only get rid of it through surgery. During the surgery, the patient should be totally unconscious because of the sensitivity of the process
The polyps are going to be taken manually by the maxillary sinus drainage that is the nose. They are not going to do some cutting. The doctors will use a small tool to be inserted in the nose; to take the polyps out without causing any damage to the form or structure of the nose
