Sinusitis treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

Sinusitis is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the cavities that surround the nose, and it usually appears after a cold or from an infection or allergy affecting the airways.

Common symptoms:

• Nasal congestion and discharge
• Pressure or pain in the face and forehead
• Reduced sense of smell

When to see a doctor? When the symptoms last a long time, return frequently, or are accompanied by fever and significant malaise.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the reference for its study, although the general practitioner can also provide guidance in the initial cases. If the nasal discomfort persists longer than usual, a professional evaluation helps find the cause.
