Chronic sinusitis is persistent inflammation of the sinuses, which may make you feel like you have a cold that never goes away.

What are the sinuses?

Air-filled cavities in the bones surrounding the nose and eyes, the sinuses work together to warm or cool inhaled air, humidify it and remove dust and allergens.

Chronic sinusitis can be a tough condition to live with.

And while medications such as nasal sprays, antibiotics and antihistamines can provide temporary relief, many times they do not solve the problem and a surgical procedure may be required.

With chronic sinusitis, you may have 1 or more of the following symptoms for 3 months or longer:

Find a doctor

Congestion

Facial pain or pressure

Decreased sense of smell

Persistent post-nasal drip

Headache

There are many ways chronic sinusitis can be treated.

Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and determine what’s the best treatment option for you, based on how severe your symptoms are. He or she may prescribe:

Antihistamines

Nasal corticosteroids

Nasal sprays or solutions

Oral or injected corticosteroids

Antibiotics

If you don’t improve with medications, your doctor may recommend sinus surgery.

While sinus surgery provides relief for some patients, others can experience inflammation that closes off nasal passages and prevents them from getting the full benefit.
