Sinusitis Treatment
Sinusitis, often called a sinus infection, can cause pressure, headaches, congestion, and fatigue that disrupt your day.Â
At EveryMed, our GPs diagnose and treat acute and recurrent sinus infections, helping you breathe easier and recover faster.
If you’re struggling with a blocked nose, facial pressure, or persistent sinus pain, our sinus doctors provide effective, evidence-based treatment tailored to your symptoms.
What Is Sinusitis?
Sinusitis occurs when the air-filled passages around your nose (the sinuses) become inflamed.Â
This inflammation can block normal drainage, leading to mucus build-up, infection, and pressure.
We treat all types of sinusitis, including:
- Acute sinusitis (short-term, often after a cold)
- Recurrent sinusitis (multiple episodes in a year)
- Chronic sinusitis (symptoms lasting longer than 12 weeks)
- Allergy-related sinusitis
- Bacterial sinus infections
Understanding the underlying cause helps us provide the right sinusitis treatment for lasting relief.
Symptoms of a Sinus Infection
Common symptoms include:
- Blocked or congested nose
- Thick yellow or green mucus
- Facial pressure or pain
- Pain around the forehead, cheeks, or eyes
- Reduced sense of smell
- Post-nasal drip
- Cough (often worse at night)
- Bad breath
- Ear pressure
- Fatigue
- Fever (in bacterial infections)
If your symptoms persist longer than expected, it may indicate a bacterial infection or chronic condition requiring GP attention.
Causes of Sinusitis
Sinus infections can be triggered by:
- Viral infections (such as the common cold)
- Bacterial infections
- Allergies
- Nasal polyps
- Deviated nasal septum
- Smoking or exposure to irritants
- Weak immune system
- Frequent colds or respiratory infections
Our sinus infection GPs assess both symptoms and contributing factors to guide treatment effectively.
How We Diagnose Sinus Infections
During your consultation, we’ll assess:
- Nose and sinus examination
- Duration and severity of symptoms
- Nasal discharge type
- History of allergies or asthma
- Presence of fever or facial pain
When needed, additional tests may include:
- Nasal swabs
- Sinus imaging (for chronic or recurrent cases)
- Allergy evaluation
- ENT referral for stubborn or structural issues
This ensures an accurate diagnosis and targeted blocked nose treatment.
Treatment Options for Sinusitis
Treatment depends on whether your sinusitis is viral, bacterial, or related to allergies or structural problems.
Viral Sinus Infection Treatment
(Most common and often improves within 7–10 days.)
- Nasal saline rinses
- Steam inhalation
- Decongestants (short-term use)
- Anti-inflammatory medication
- Hydration and rest
- Nasal corticosteroid sprays (to reduce swelling)
Bacterial Sinusitis Treatment
If bacterial infection is suspected or confirmed:
- Antibiotics (when appropriate)
- Nasal steroid spray
- Pain and congestion relief
- Follow-up if symptoms persist
Allergy-Related Sinusitis
If allergies are the main trigger:
- Antihistamines
- Nasal steroid sprays
- Allergen avoidance tips
- Long-term allergy management
Chronic Sinusitis Support
For persistent symptoms:
- Long-term nasal treatment
- Lifestyle and environmental modifications
- ENT referral if polyps or structural issues are suspected
Our goal is to not only treat the infection but also prevent it from returning.
When to See a Sinus Doctor
You should book an appointment if:
- Symptoms last longer than 7–10 days
- Pain or pressure becomes severe
- You develop fever with sinus symptoms

These may indicate rare but serious sinus complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is sinusitis?
Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses, often caused by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. It can also result from allergies, nasal polyps, or structural issues in the nasal passages.
2. What are the common symptoms of sinusitis?
Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, headache, thick nasal discharge, post-nasal drip, cough, fever, and reduced sense of smell.
3. How is sinusitis diagnosed at EveryMed?
Our doctors perform a physical examination, review your symptoms, and may use imaging or nasal endoscopy if needed to identify the type and severity of sinusitis.
4. Do I need antibiotics for sinusitis?
Most cases of sinusitis are viral and resolve on their own. Antibiotics are only prescribed if a bacterial infection is confirmed or symptoms are severe, persistent, or worsening.
5. How does EveryMed treat sinusitis?
Treatment may include nasal decongestants, saline sprays, pain relievers, antihistamines, antibiotics (if necessary), and guidance on hydration, rest, and home remedies to relieve symptoms.
6. When should I see a doctor for sinusitis?
Seek care if symptoms last more than 10 days, worsen after initial improvement, or if you experience severe headache, high fever, swelling around the eyes, or vision changes.
7. Can sinusitis become a serious condition?
If left untreated, severe bacterial sinusitis may lead to complications such as orbital infection, meningitis, or chronic sinusitis. Early evaluation and treatment prevent these risks.
8. How can I prevent sinus infections?
Preventive measures include practicing good hand hygiene, avoiding allergens and pollutants, using a humidifier, staying hydrated, and treating colds promptly to prevent sinus complications.
