Chronic Sinusitis

Most people experience pesky sinus infections at least once in their lives. Dr. Giulio Cavalli in Pittsfield, MA, explains that when a sinus infection becomes chronic, you must call us for an appointment as soon as possible. The symptoms of sinusitis include the following.

• Minor/severe headache
• Facial pain, tenderness, pressure, swelling
• Nasal congestion
• Postnasal drip 
• Yellow/green nasal discharge
• Diminished/lost sense of smell
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Hoarseness
• Fatigue
• Pain in the upper jaw, teeth
• Bad breath

 Our doctor must obtain your medical history and perform a physical exam of your sinuses to make a correct diagnosis. He may want a CT scan to view your sinuses completely.  

If our doctor determines you have a sinus infection, he will want to promote drainage of the sinuses as this eliminates swelling. Treatment options could include the following. 

• A broad-spectrum antibiotic kills most common bacteria
• Nasal corticosteroid sprays to reduce swelling
• Nasal saline irrigations to remove excess mucous and promote drainage
• Oral antihistamines as a decongestant
• Oral steroids to treat nasal polyps and severe inflammation
• Allergy treatments as indicated

Dr. Cavalli may perform surgery to treat chronic rhinosinusitis if the above treatment options fail to help eliminate your sinusitis.
