💜 Struggling with sinusitis? Let's talk sinuses!
Have you ever experienced facial pressure, a blocked nose or a headache that just won't go away? These could be signs of sinusitis.
Sinusitis occurs when the lining of your sinuses becomes inflamed and swollen, affecting how mucus drains from your nose.
👃 Common symptoms include:
• Pressure or pain around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
• A blocked or runny nose
• Thick, discoloured nasal mucus
• Reduced sense of smell
• Headaches and facial discomfort
💙 What can help?
Treatment depends on the cause and how long your symptoms have been present. Saline nasal rinses, rest and appropriate pain relief may help ease symptoms. Antibiotics are only needed in selected cases, as many episodes are caused by viruses. Persistent or recurrent sinusitis may require assessment by an ENT specialist, who can discuss further treatment options if appropriate.
✨ When should you seek advice?
If your symptoms persist, keep returning or are affecting your everyday life, our ENT consultant can help assess the cause and discuss the most appropriate next steps.
