Sinus Infection Management

Sinus infection management involves relieving symptoms and addressing the underlying cause. Most cases are viral and resolve on their own, so rest, hydration, and nasal irrigation (like saline sprays) can help. Over-the-counter pain relievers reduce discomfort, and decongestants may ease sinus pressure. If a bacterial infection is suspected, a doctor might prescribe antibiotics. Persistent or severe infections might require further evaluation or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. Preventative measures include good hygiene, avoiding irritants, and managing allergies. If symptoms worsen or last more than 10 days, medical advice is recommended to prevent complications.
