In the acute stage, adequate antibiotic treatment is usually adopted, such as amoxicillin and metronidazole, etc. In addition, nasal glucocorticosteroids, such as mometasone furoate and nasal decongestants like ephedrine are used to alleviate the symptoms.
2. Chronic sinusitis: mostly caused by repeated episodes of acute sinusitis, the use of drugs to reduce nasal inflammation, such as glucocorticoids, antibiotics and other treatments, but also the use of mucus drainage agents, such as eucalyptus-pin, etc. to alleviate the symptoms. If the drug conservative treatment is ineffective, combined with the sinus-nasal tract complex blockage can be considered surgery.
