Sinusitis can feel like your whole face has been punched in, but luckily, not much is required of you to take care of it. Most times it'll pass naturally, but if it's recurring, you'll want to know why.
Your head and eyes ache, and your nose is stuffed more tightly than an olive. Even your teeth hurt. In other words, you have sinusitis.
For years, doctors have relied on antibiotics or steroid nasal sprays as standard treatments. However, a British study found that they were no better at speeding recovery of mild sinusitis than no medicine at all.
To assess the cause of your sinusitis, your doctor may use an endoscope, a thin lighted tube inserted into the nose that allows her to see your sinuses.
When chronic sinusitis persists despite medicines and home treatment, you may require surgery. The blockage could come if the septum has a bone spur or if the septum itself is crooked. You might also have a cyst or polyp blocking your sinuses.
