Abstract
Sinusitis is a common health problem characterised by mucosal inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. However, it often coexists with rhinitis in most patients. Hence the current accepted terminology is rhinosinusitis. Rhinosinusitis (RS) can be divided into two subtypes: acute and chronic based on the duration of the symptoms. The clinical presentation includes nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, headache, decreased sense of smell, postnasal drip, facial pressure or pain, fever, sore throat and
cough. Predisposing factors for RS are multifactorial, which includes infection, allergies, and air pollution.
