Overview

Sinusitis is the inflammation or infection of the sinuses, the air-filled spaces located around the nose and eyes. It can be caused by infections, allergies, nasal polyps, or structural abnormalities. Sinusitis can be acute or chronic and may lead to nasal congestion, facial pain, and breathing difficulties if left untreated.

Common Symptoms

• Nasal congestion or blockage
• Facial pain or pressure
• Headache
• Thick nasal discharge
• Postnasal drip
• Reduced sense of smell or taste
• Cough, especially at night
• Bad breath
• Ear pressure or fullness

Diagnosis & Treatment Process

1. Initial Consultation

A detailed evaluation of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination is conducted to assess sinus health.

2. Diagnostic Assessment

Nasal endoscopy, CT scan of the sinuses, allergy testing, and other investigations may be recommended to determine the cause and severity of sinusitis.

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

Treatment may include medications, nasal sprays, allergy management, steam inhalation, and lifestyle modifications. In chronic or severe cases, endoscopic sinus surgery may be recommended.

4. Recovery & Follow-Up

Regular follow-up visits help monitor symptom improvement, prevent recurrence, and maintain long-term sinus health.
