A member asked:
My sinusitis won't go away even after multiple uses of antibiotics. can i get rid of it another way? also can sinusitis cause swollen lymph nodes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Inflammation of the sinuses correlates with enlarged lymph nodes because the immune cells congregate in these nodes. Recurrent or chronic sinus infection is a sign of tissue inflammation (generally caused by irritants, allergy or other causes of rhinitis), immune defiency or structural problem (polyps for example). Medications, avoidance strategies, and even surgery are options depending on cause
