Acute or Chronic Sinusitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing a doctor is reasonable when congestion and facial pain do not ease or return frequently, since they may correspond to acute or chronic sinusitis. This is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the air-filled cavities that surround the nose.
Common symptoms: stuffy nose, discharge, pressure or pain in the forehead, cheekbones, or around the eyes, and sometimes a reduced sense of smell.
Difference between forms: the acute form usually lasts a short time, while the chronic form is prolonged or recurs repeatedly.
Which specialist treats it? Its study is handled by the otolaryngologist and, if the case warrants, an oncologist may take part. When symptoms are persistent or intense, the prudent step is to have them evaluated by a professional.
