The urgency of the problem of acute rhinosinusitis is determined by the scale of its prevalence, the tendency to prolonged course and chronization, and its active role in the formation of severe complications, which necessitates the search for new methods of diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. Assessment of the sense of smell in patients with acute rhinosinusitis is an important diagnostic criterion that allows assessing the severity of inflammation and the effectiveness of therapy.
OBJECTIVE
To improve the results of treatment of acute rhinosinusitis through the use of Inflasinusans, taking into account the assessment of the clinical picture and olfactory function.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
70 patients with acute sinusitis aged 18 to 65 years (39 women, 56%; 31 men, 44%) were examined. To assess the treatment results, a visual analog scale, an endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity, an assessment of the olfactory thresholds using the RVSS test and an olfactory dysfunction questionnaire were used.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
According to the study, it was reliably confirmed that the use of the natural herbal vitamin complex Inflasinusans, consisting of extracts of herbs (elderberry, primrose, hops and thyme), enriched with vitamin C, zinc and dihydroquercetin, contributed to a more intensive improvement in the clinical picture and restoration of the sense of smell. The olfactory index in patients using Inflasinusans was 0.2 higher than in the control group. In addition, 8.5% of the control group did not recover their sense of smell even after 3 weeks of treatment, which was not detected in the main group.
CONCLUSION
The use of Inflasinusans in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis reduces the symptoms and inflammatory response, as well as accelerates the restoration of the sense of smell, which makes it possible to recommend the plant-vitamin complex Inflasinusans as part of combination therapy for acute rhinosinusitis both at the start and on any day of the disease.
