Sinusitis refers to the inflammation of the tissues lining the sinuses. Healthy sinuses are filled with air. But when they become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grow and cause an infection. ### Diagnostic Endoscopy At Aarish Clinics, we utilize nasal endoscopy to evaluate the nasal passages directly. This high-resolution examination enables us to identify septal deviations, polyps, or localized blockages without causing distress. ### Medical Management Initial treatment typically focuses on: - Saline nasal irrigations to clear mucus. - Nasal corticosteroid sprays to reduce tissue swelling. - Antihistamines or oral antibiotics for work. ### When is FESS Required? Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a standard surgical procedure used to clear sinus blockages when medical management fails to provide relief. It involves using thin endoscopes to widen the natural drainage passages of the sinuses, restoring normal ventilation and drainage.
