Acute sinusitis: what is it?

Acute rhinosinusitis is an infection of the nose and paranasal sinuses (sinus of the face) that can usually be of viral or bacterial cause.
⠀
The diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis is clinical and can be complemented with the examination of nasal endoscopy. It means that you do not need further exams such as x-ray.
That is done through the patient’s history and the evaluation of the physician.
⠀
When rhinosinusitis has a viral cause, treatment does not require the use of antibiotics, unlike bacterial rhinosinusitis.
