Suppurative labyrinthitis is a bacterial inflammation of the inner ear, in which infection enters the labyrinth: the cochlea system responsible for hearing and the vestibular structures responsible for balance.
Chronic polyposis rhinosinusitis is a long-term inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses, in which benign soft growths called nasal polyps are formed.
Acute rhinosinusitis most often begins as a viral upper respiratory tract infection: runny nose, congestion, mucus dripping down the back of the throat, cough, facial pressure, and temporary loss of smell.
Acute rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose and paranasal sinuses that lasts for a limited time and most often develops after a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract.
Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, in which a bacterial infection has likely joined the initial viral inflammation or developed against the background of impaired sinus drainage.
In everyday life, the term "drops for allergic rhinitis" often refers to any topical nasal medications: drops, metered-dose sprays, saline solutions, antihistamine sprays, corticosteroid sprays, and vasoconstrictors.
Acute purulent rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, which is characterized by thick mucopurulent or purulent discharge, nasal congestion, pressure or pain in the face, sometimes a decrease in smell, fever, and a deterioration in general health.
Acute catarrhal rhinosinusitis is the clinical name for early or mild inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses, in which swelling, congestion, mucous or muco-watery discharge, facial pressure and olfactory disturbance predominate, but there is no convincing evidence of a purulent bacterial process.
Acute otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear, the space behind the eardrum, which most often occurs after a viral upper respiratory tract infection.
