Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Sinusitis: See an ent. You might benefit from nasal sprays, but surgery might also be needed. An ENT can help you figure out what will be best for you.

Several choices: You may try some over counter meds, watch if you are on rx meds. You can massage or short sun treatment.
