Disorders of the paranasal sinuses

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses. It often occurs alongside a cold or tonsillitis. It is usually caused by viruses and bacteria.

The common cold is a very common disease of the upper respiratory tract that is not serious, although, even colds should not be underestimated. It is an acute viral infection that causes inflammation as well as an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity (mucosa), mainly characterised by swelling of the mucosa, the formation of mucus and nasal congestion. This results in typical symptoms. However, sometimes rhinitis can also occur due to an allergic reaction.

Influenza is a highly infectious disease that mainly affects the respiratory system. It is caused by a virus, which can spread through the air. It is mild, but sometimes it gets really complicated. In the most severe cases, it can even cause death.
