Sinusite ou Rinite? Aprenda a Diferenciar em 3 Passos

Nariz entupido, espirros e desconforto facial podem aparecer nas duas condições. Por isso, muita gente confunde rinite com sinusite.

Embora compartilhem alguns sintomas, as causas são diferentes. Reconhecer os sinais ajuda a buscar o cuidado mais adequado.

Na rinite, a secreção costuma ser clara e líquida. Já na sinusite, ela pode ficar mais espessa e difícil de eliminar.

A aparência da secreção é apenas uma pista. Outros sintomas precisam ser avaliados para entender melhor o que está acontecendo.

[{"selector":"#anim-89a71892-ee94-4af7-944c-b0aefc65204b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02bfd10e-eda5-46cb-b9d3-3260da58e6ec","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db13e594-765f-4dec-bb69-6caecbf5e3ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9322261-dc22-4614-87e7-291c086fa2a4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Coriza Nem Sempre Decide

Dor ou pressão ao redor dos olhos, testa e maçãs do rosto são sinais frequentemente associados à sinusite.

Na rinite, o desconforto costuma estar mais ligado à coceira, espirros repetidos e irritação nasal persistente.

[{"selector":"#anim-bf34c6d6-62f0-45cc-b03c-f811c9063890 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41215a81-d18e-4e90-bab2-bd7b395e6645","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86d9ad95-7c6e-459f-9d18-936308b6f1ea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-39eafee8-ba9f-4790-a09f-9f4df32b00a4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] O Que Acontece na Rinite?

Febre baixa pode aparecer em alguns casos de sinusite. Na rinite alérgica, esse sintoma geralmente não é esperado.

[{"selector":"#anim-2a097922-84af-4862-a9b3-57dcc512a86f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ce26b86d-2203-43dc-956b-5a32016dc09e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-68e77b59-59a5-4b97-8579-1e6687bb4656","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be986bba-4093-47a7-865f-0b591c2b6f20","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Passo 3: Verifique a Febre

Crises com muitos espirros seguidos são mais típicas da rinite, especialmente quando há contato com poeira ou pólen.

O nariz entupido pode ocorrer tanto na rinite quanto na sinusite. Por isso, ele não deve ser analisado isoladamente.

Coriza mais espessa, dor facial e febre baixa apontam para sinusite. Espirros e coceira costumam sugerir rinite.

Observe a coriza, avalie a presença de dor facial e verifique se existe febre. Esses três passos ajudam a diferenciar os quadros.
