Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis is a long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses that can cause persistent nasal congestion, facial pressure, and difficulty breathing through the nose. Proper ENT evaluation helps identify the cause and guide suitable treatment.

Common Symptoms

• Persistent nasal congestion
• Thick or discolored nasal discharge
• Facial pain or pressure
• Headache or heaviness around the face
• Reduced sense of smell
• Post-nasal drip
• Cough or throat irritation
• Difficulty breathing through the nose

Causes & Risk Factors

Chronic sinusitis may be associated with allergies, nasal polyps, a deviated nasal septum, recurrent infections, or ongoing inflammation of the sinus passages.

Diagnosis

An ENT consultation includes a detailed assessment of your symptoms and nasal passages. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy may be used to examine the nasal cavity and sinus openings more closely.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. It may include medications, allergy management, nasal treatments, lifestyle measures, or surgical treatment when structural problems or persistent disease require further care.
