Sinus probing
Probing of the middle nasal passage is prescribed for nasal breathing disorders associated with a difficult outflow of secretions from the paranasal sinuses.
The middle nasal passage is the part of the nasal cavity where anatomical structures pass: the mouths of the maxillary sinuses and the trellis labyrinth. With edema in this area, the natural outflow from the sinuses is disrupted, and inflammation increases.
Probing can reduce swelling, improve sinus drainage and prevent the development of complications. The procedure allows you to examine and clean the nasal passages, as well as perform therapeutic manipulations. It is important to conduct probing in a timely manner to prevent complications and improve the patient's quality of life.
Before probing, it is necessary to consult with an otorhinolaryngologist Perform general blood and urine tests An endoscopic examination of the nasal passages may be performed Radiography or computed tomography may be required.
The doctor carefully inserts a probe with a drug into the middle nasal passage, the application is carried out within a few minutes. As a rule, the procedure does not cause pain. If necessary, local anesthesia is performed beforehand.

The patient is advised to avoid physical exertion, exposure to high and low temperatures. It is also necessary to observe the hygiene of the nasal passages by rinsing them with saline solutions according to the instructions of the attending physician.
