When to seek assessment
Arrange a visit for persistent or recurring nasal symptoms. Sinus inflammation and allergies can overlap, but their management may differ.
Assessment and options
Describe symptom duration, allergies and previous treatments. Examination helps determine whether further investigation is needed. Antibiotics are not needed for every sinus infection.

Prepare for your visit
Bring details of sprays and medication, previous scan reports and a symptom timeline. Ask about treatment goals and when progress should be reassessed.
Does everyone need surgery?
No. Options depend on the cause and previous response to treatment. Whether surgery is appropriate requires an individual assessment.
