Sinus Infection Treatment in Knoxville, TN
Treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis with antibiotics when appropriate and supportive care measures.
What is Sinus Infection Treatment?
Sinus infections (sinusitis) occur when the sinuses become inflamed and infected, causing facial pain, pressure, nasal congestion, thick discharge, and sometimes fever. Acute sinusitis is often viral but can become bacterial, while chronic sinusitis lasts 12+ weeks. Untreated bacterial sinusitis can spread to nearby structures. Treatment options include antibiotics for bacterial infections (amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate), nasal decongestants, saline nasal irrigation, nasal corticosteroids, and in chronic cases, referral to ENT specialists. It's important to see a doctor because they can distinguish between viral and bacterial sinusitis, prescribe antibiotics only when needed (preventing antibiotic resistance), identify complications, and provide appropriate symptom relief. Your doctor will examine your sinuses, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and coordinate with ENT specialists for chronic or complicated cases.
