What are the common symptoms of ethmoid sinusitis?

Patients with ethmoid sinusitis usually experience headaches, olfactory dysfunction, and reflex pain in severe cases. Patients often experience tenderness and facial neuralgia. Because this disease has associated symptoms, most of them will manifest in these areas. In addition, some patients will have other symptoms. As long as there are more facial symptoms, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

Symptoms of ethmoid sinusitis include the following:

1. Headache: often located behind the eyeball, especially on the top of the head and the back of the head, and aggravated at night or after drinking.

2. Dizziness: Unsteady gait, swaying from side to side, but no directional deviation, which is different from ear vertigo.

3. Olfactory disorder: often loss of smell for unknown reasons.

4. Reflex neuralgia: There may be facial pain, toothache, mastoid process, neck, shoulder and back neuralgia.

5. Posterior nasal drip: Purulent secretions may flow from the posterior nostril to the pharynx when the head is lowered or the head position changes. Symptoms are temporarily relieved after vomiting.
