鼻竇炎(Sinusitis)是描述發生於鼻竇的炎症。常見症狀包含濃厚鼻涕、鼻塞,以及臉部疼痛。其他症狀包含發燒、頭痛、嗅覺減退、喉嚨痛,以及咳嗽。咳嗽會於夜間加劇。嚴重副作用較為罕見。臨床上將病程4周以下的鼻竇炎稱作急性鼻竇炎(Acute rhinosinutis,ARS),延續12周以上則稱為慢性鼻竇炎(Chronic rhinosinutis,CRS)。 鼻竇炎可能肇因於感染、過敏、空氣汙染,或鼻腔構造問題。最常見的案例為病毒感染。如果症狀持續十天以上未改善,可能就會造成病原菌孳生。哮喘、囊腫性纖維化,及免疫缺失患者可能會有復發鼻竇炎的現象。如果沒有懷疑有其他可能併發症存在,一般來說不需使用X光照影。慢性鼻竇炎則建議以鼻鏡或電腦斷層檢查。 洗手、禁菸,和增加免疫力能預防某些鼻竇炎發生。疼痛症狀則可以使用如萘普生、皮質類固醇等鎮痛藥緩解,鼻沖洗也許能緩解某些症狀。急性鼻竇炎一般進行僅,若症狀持續7-10日,且持續惡化,則可施予抗細菌藥介入。已使用抗細菌藥者,第一線輔佐藥物建議選用阿莫西林或阿莫西林克拉維酸鉀。某些慢性病人或许可以借助執行手術来缓解。。 鼻竇炎為常見的症狀。在歐美,每年約有一至三成的人會發生。女性發生率較男性為高。慢性鼻竇炎發生率約為12.5%。美國花費於鼻竇炎治療上的金錢約達110億美金。鼻竇炎的無效治療相當氾濫,包含以抗細菌藥治療病毒性鼻竇炎。
