https://doi.org/10.21518/ms2025-122
Abstract
Acute rhinosinusitis is a common pathological condition characterized by inflammatory changes in the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. This inflammation leads to the development of a variety of clinical symptoms that can significantly impair the quality of life of patients. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the pathogenesis of this condition, which Underlines the need for an integrated approach to its diagnosis and therapy: the use of herbal medicines is becoming an increasingly relevant area in the treatment of rhinosinusitis. Ivy leaf extract appears as a promising phytotherapeutic agent with the potential for effective treatment of acute infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract. This herbal extract contains a wide range of biologically active compounds, including saponins, flavonoids and glycosides, which largely determine its therapeutic properties and mechanism of action. According to extensive scientific literature data, ivy leaf extract preparations demonstrate the ability to effectively reduce the clinical manifestations of acute rhinosinusitis. The article presents a clinical observation of a patient with acute rhinosinusitis. Complex therapy with the inclusion of a herbal preparation was prescribed. There were observed good tolerability of the treatment and the absence of adverse drug effects.
