What Is Rhinosinusitis Treatment?

This specialized ENT care targets acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, caused by infections, allergies, or structural issues like nasal polyps. Treatments include nasal steroids, antibiotics, or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to clear blockages and reduce inflammation. Administered by skilled specialists, these interventions alleviate facial pressure, congestion, and smell loss, offering personalized solutions for restored sinus function and comfort.
