Sinusitis treatment depends on several factors, including the underlying cause (viral, bacterial, fungal, or allergic), the severity of your symptoms, and whether it's an acute or chronic condition. For many individuals, sinusitis resolves on its own within a week or two with simple self-care measures like staying hydrated and using over-the-counter saline nasal sprays. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, seeking professional medical advice is essential.
A doctor can accurately diagnose the cause and severity of your sinusitis and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. This might involve medications to alleviate symptoms or procedures to address underlying issues like nasal polyps or a deviated septum. At SCI Hospitals, we offer a comprehensive approach to sinusitis treatment, tailoring it to each individual's specific needs.

Surgical Solutions for Chronic Sinusitis: When chronic sinusitis becomes resistant to conservative treatments or involves structural abnormalities, surgical intervention may be necessary. Chronic sinusitis often persists for 12 weeks or longer, even with medication.

Many cases of sinusitis, especially those caused by viruses, can resolve on their own with rest and home care. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's essential to seek medical attention. The experts at SCI Hospitals can assess your condition and determine the best course of action.
Antibiotics are only effective for bacterial sinusitis, not viral sinusitis. Your doctor at SCI Hospitals can determine if an antibiotic is necessary based on your symptoms and diagnosis. They will prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic if needed. Self-treating with antibiotics can be harmful, so always consult a doctor.
While chronic sinusitis may not be completely curable, effective management can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
