Chronic Sinus Infection treatment in Cuauhtémoc

A chronic infection of the paranasal sinuses, or chronic sinusitis, is a prolonged inflammation of the cavities that surround the nose, which makes their drainage difficult and keeps discomfort going for weeks.

Common symptoms: persistent nasal congestion, discharge, facial pressure or pain, decreased sense of smell and, at times, headache.

Contributing factors: allergies, alterations of the nasal structure, polyps, and repeated infections.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who studies conditions of the nose and paranasal sinuses and can rely on endoscopic studies to evaluate the area. If the nasal symptoms are prolonged or recur, it is worth discussing it with a specialist who can review your case.
