Sinusitis Treatments
Sinusitis treatments aim to relieve symptoms and address the underlying cause of inflammation in the sinuses. Common approaches include over-the-counter medications like decongestants and pain relievers, which help reduce swelling and discomfort. In some cases, nasal corticosteroids may be prescribed to decrease inflammation.
For more severe or persistent cases, a healthcare provider might recommend antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected. Additionally, saline nasal irrigation can help clear mucus and allergens from the nasal passages. In rare instances, surgery may be necessary to improve drainage and alleviate chronic symptoms.
