Sinusitis can be treated with medication.
Rhinosinusitis is caused by bacterial or viral infections. It usually coexists with rhinitis. The symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, and head and face pain. Drug treatment of sinusitis mainly includes intranasal decongestant treatment to improve sinus drainage and reduce swelling; nasal glucocorticoids to reduce inflammation of the nasal mucosa; antibiotic treatment to control infections and prevent complications; mucolysis Promoting agents to promote mucus excretion and restore the physiological functions of the sinuses; for patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma, anti-allergic drugs can be used for treatment.
Sinusitis can be treated with drugs first. If you have nasal polyps and the symptoms cannot be improved by drug treatment, you can consider endoscopic sinus surgery.
