Better Ways to Treat Adult Chronic Sinusitis

The Internet is a great resource in many ways. Besides mirroring the totality of human knowledge, it can also help individuals find smarter, less invasive medical treatments when doctors become overly aggressive.

Irrigation works fine for the first few weeks, and steroids mixed with antibiotics may be effective for patients who present with nasal polyps.

If problems persist past the point of exhausting these interventions, then sinus surgery is often the best way forward.
