Otitis is an inflammation of the ear.
It is usually the result of hypothermia, injuries, and ARVI. For treatment, after examination, the doctor prescribes medications. Also, if necessary, pneumatic massage and blowing, removal of sulfur plugs (if they are also immediately detected) can be prescribed.

Otomycosis is an ear disease caused by fungi.
The clinical symptoms are the same as those of otitis media, but only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis – therefore, it is important not to self-medicate. If you have ear pain, congestion, hearing loss, autophonia (resonance of your own voice in the ear), visit an otolaryngologist!

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa.
Acute pharyngitis is mostly of viral origin, and chronic pharyngitis can be bacterial. Having established the cause, the doctor prescribes the appropriate treatment that will be effective for your case!

Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the palatine tonsils. It can be acute and chronic.
In case of acute tonsillitis (actually a sore throat), it is recommended to do a streptococcus test. In most cases, the causative agent of the disease is bacteria, so the otolaryngologist prescribes antibiotics. In case of viral nature of acute tonsillitis, other treatment will be prescribed.
In case of chronic tonsillitis, it is recommended to wash the tonsil lacunae. The procedure is quite simple, and after a course of irrigation, the quality of life of patients improves significantly, and constant pain disappears.

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It can be acute or chronic.
Acute form, as a rule, after ARVI. With a correct diagnosis with the help of a doctor, it is quite simple to treat with anti-inflammatory, bacterial drugs.
The chronic form of laryngitis gives more reason for the need for constant monitoring, as it is a risk factor for laryngeal neoplasms. Chronic hyperplastic laryngitis and laryngeal papillomatosis are especially dangerous in terms of oncological pathology.
For smokers, a preventive examination is recommended once a year for early detection of the problem, if any!

Maxillary sinusitis (rhinosinusitis) is a common disease, inflammation of the maxillary sinus.
In acute form, the doctor prescribes medication treatment of maxillary sinusitis (depending on whether the disease is bacterial or not). Among the procedures, cuckoo rinsing is possible – it is performed with a suction device that rinses the nasal cavity and nasopharynx with an antiseptic solution. In the chronic form, the same procedures are performed, but puncture is also possible.
We should also note that there is polypoid rhinosinusitis of allergic and bacterial origin.

Frontitis is an inflammation of the frontal sinuses.
It is often combined with sinusitis. With frontal sinusitis, a person experiences severe headaches, eye pain, nasal inflammation, and mucopurulent nasal discharge. It is successfully treated with medication.

Ethmoiditis is an inflammatory disease of the lattice labyrinth.
It is manifested by nasal congestion, mucus dripping down the back of the throat, mucopurulent nasal discharge. It is treated with medication and irrigation.

We have listed a number of diseases for your familiarization and understanding of how it can be difficult to distinguish them from each other by common signs alone, and even more so to identify the nature of the disease itself – viral or bacterial.
