Principles of treatment for chronic sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis includes fungal sinusitis, allergic sinusitis, purulent sinusitis, etc. According to different classifications, different treatment plans should be developed, and the specific treatment principles are as follows: 1. allergic sinusitis: local nasal spray hormone drugs can be used, or oral anti-leukotriene drugs or antihistamines for systemic treatment; 2. fungal sinusitis: surgery is the only option; 3. purulent sinusitis: mostly caused by local obstruction such as deviated nasal septum and enlarged turbinates, which requires minimally invasive sinus surgery to restoration of patency.
