Introduction
Chronic sinusitis, also known as chronic rhinosinusitis, is a long-term inflammation of the sinus lining lasting more than 12 weeks despite medical treatment.
It can cause persistent nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, postnasal drip, reduced sense of smell, fatigue, and recurrent infections — significantly affecting daily life and sleep quality.
Effective treatment requires accurate diagnosis, identification of underlying causes, and a personalized combination of medical and, when necessary, surgical care.
