Did You Know?…Sinusitis

Did you know that sinusitis can last for months, or even years, if not properly treated.

  • A doctor can diagnose sinusitis through a physical examination, but may also require allergy testing, x-rays or use of a fiber-optic scope.
  • Treatments for sinusitis include antibiotics, decongestants, nasal sprays or non-medicinal therapies such as hot packs, humidifiers and salt water rinses.
  • many people can prevent sinusitis by reducing their allergy symptoms-allergy shots, avoiding exposure to allergy triggers and use of medications may be helpful.
