chronic rhinosinusitis

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages, lasting more than 12 weeks. It can cause symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, decreased sense of smell, and thick nasal discharge. The condition results from persistent inflammation due to infections, allergies, or inflammation that doesn’t resolve properly. It can impact daily life, causing discomfort and breathing difficulties. Treatment often involves nasal sprays, medications to reduce inflammation, and sometimes surgery to improve sinus drainage. Managing triggers and maintaining good nasal health are important for controlling symptoms and improving quality of life.
