How long does it take to cure sinusitis

The healing time of sinusitis generally depends on the course of the disease and the individual’s physical condition, usually 1-4 weeks. Some patients with chronic sinusitis may have prolonged or recurrent attacks. 1. Acute sinusitis: acute attacks of sinusitis can be treated with a combination of antibiotics, proprietary Chinese medicine preparations and nasal rinses, which usually takes 1-2 weeks to heal. 2. Chronic sinusitis: chronic sinusitis can be treated with macrolide antibiotics to reduce the toxicity of bacterial infection and cellular damage. Also add mucus promoter to promote secretion from the nasal cavity, generally 2-4 weeks of treatment time will gradually recover. If conservative treatment through regular medication is not effective, surgical treatment can be performed, and a complete recovery is usually possible six months after surgery. Patients with sinusitis are encouraged to eat a light diet, eat more soft foods rich in vitamins, and avoid spicy diets that cause congestion of the nasal mucosa. Normally, you can always do nasal massage, pay attention to the method of blowing snot, it is advisable to press one side of the nostrils with congestion and blow slightly harder, and then blow the nose alternately, and wash the nose with saline when the snot is too thick to avoid hurting the nasal mucosa. If the patients are treated by surgery, it is recommended to review regularly within 3 months after surgery, generally once a week within 1 month after surgery, and once every half month afterwards or according to medical advice.
