About Chronic Sinusitis in New Delhi
Chronic sinusitis is a long-standing inflammation of the sinuses, the air-filled cavities surrounding the nose, that persists for twelve weeks or longer despite treatment attempts. The inflammation causes the sinus linings to swell, blocking normal drainage and mucus clearance, which leads to fluid buildup and creates an environment prone to recurrent infection. It can result from persistent infection, allergies, structural nasal abnormalities, or nasal polyps, and often significantly affects quality of life through chronic congestion, facial discomfort, and reduced sense of smell. Unlike acute sinusitis which typically resolves within a few weeks, chronic sinusitis often requires a combination of medical and sometimes surgical management.
