TREATING SINUSITIS

There are different treatments that help with sinusitis, depending on how serious the condition is and what caused it.1,2 The right choice of treatment will relieve your symptoms and prevent health complications.1

 

Acute (short-term) sinus infections are most often caused by a virus or bacteria.1 They normally get better on their own, but there are treatments available to help you manage the symptoms.1

For acute viral sinusitis:1

Congestions points

Acute viral sinusitis usually lasts less than 10 days, and symptoms should improve within 5 days.1

For acute bacterial sinusitis:

  • Milder infections can be treated with rest, hydration, warm facial packs, saline nasal sprays or other over-the-counter medications like mucolytics to relieve mucus congestion.3
  • In the case of a severe infection, your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics.1

For chronic sinusitis, it’s especially important to figure out the underlying cause of the problem.2 There isn’t any one “standard” or “correct” treatment plan.2 If you suffer from chronic sinusitis, it’s best to speak to your health care provider about finding the best treatment/s for you.2
