About
Chronic sinusitis (chronic rhinosinusitis) is inflammation of the sinuses lasting 12 weeks or longer, causing a blocked or runny nose, facial pain or pressure, reduced sense of smell, and post-nasal drip. It may occur with or without nasal polyps and often needs ongoing management rather than a one-off course of treatment.
