More Than Just a Stuffy Nose

With the holiday season in full swing, it also comes with more people getting sick and getting sinus infections. The specific sinus infection that we will discuss is rhinosinusitis, which is an inflammation of the lining of the sinuses and the nasal cavity. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections and structural abnormalities.

We will go over the four different types of rhinosinusitis: acute, subacute, chronic and recurrent acute. Next, is the symptoms your patient will present with such as facial pain, nasal congestion and loss of smell. The different treatments that you can offer are over-the-counter medications, antibiotics and nasal corticosteroids.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as he helps us understand and manage rhinosinusitis.
