If the inflammation is remained only at the nasal mucosa, it is diagnosed as rhinitis; however, if it spreads to the membranes in the paranasal sinuses, and constant discharge of purulent exudate was observed, it is diagnosed as empyema or more commonly known as sinusitis.
Sinusitis Development
Sinusitis is caused by an infection from a virus or bacteria. When the common cold virus, which is much smaller in size than bacteria, enters through the nose, majority of the people who are healthy can recover within a week. To explain why the common cold turned into sinusitis in anatomical perspective is the swelling of the nasal mucosa blocked the entrance of the paranasal sinuses.
Dr. Lee's Specialized Method to Treat Sinusitis: LWM Apply
Inferior to the middle turbinate, there are ostia connecting the frontal sinuses, ethmoid sinuses, and maxillary sinuses. When the mucous membrane lining of the nose is swollen due to a cold, the secretion glands continue to induce mucus but drainage ducts have been blocked. Then, the obstructed paranasal sinuses collect mucus inside. This facilitates bacterial growth in the membranes submerged in the pool of mucus and the paranasal sinuses are infected. The paranasal sinuses with obstructed ostia become an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply; this will result in sinusitis. This sinusitis is often difficult to treat with antibiotics to control the inflammation, subsequently; a surgical removal of the inflamed membranes is practiced. However, this is not the fundamental treatment to cure sinusitis.
LWM is a therapy that connects with patients. Every patient may complain of nasal congestion, but through the treatment process, which includes Q&A with patients, it reveals the affected regions all differ from patient to patient. Therefore, patient-centered focus should be intrinsic to the practice of the method which allows to precisely identify the source of the problems through communicating and customizes its treatments for individual patients.
LWM therapy centers around restoring the functions of the nasal parts. The limited view on the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses recognize them only as a part of the respiratory tract, therefore surgical exegesis of body parts in order to secure the airway is justified. But every part in the body has their own reason for their existence. The nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses serve more than as airways; those perform as a cooling fan in a computer, a cooling device for the head. LWM is founded on the understanding the unique features of the paranasal sinuses, accordingly, it restores their original functions without undermining any of their anatomical structure.

Collections of 25 years of experience as a ENT Doctor !
If you are interested in treating sinusitis taking an alternative solution such as Korean medicine, I recommend you to join my sinus school. At times I fly to the us and give lectures on my method at the us oriental medical schools. My method is far more satisfying and simple that receiving a surgery.
