Natural Remedies
Natural “home” remedies include cool and hot mist vaporizers, steam, Neti Pot irrigation and sinus rinsing.

Medical Management
Medical management of sinusitis includes nasal steroids, antibiotics, mucus thinning drugs, decongestants, nasal sprays, oral steroids and over-the-counter pain relievers. Importantly, it is estimated that at least 20% of chronic sinusitis patients are not successfully treated with medical therapy.1,2,3

Sinus Surgery
Sinus surgery may be recommended when medical management methods are not enough to relieve patients’ symptoms. Surgical treatment may include Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).

Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon Sinuplasty is an effective treatment for sinusitis, and a preferred option for many patients:
- 96% of patients experienced symptomatic improvement at 52 weeks with balloon only treatment4
- According to one study, 74% of patients chose balloon sinuplasty over medical management alone7
- 96% of patients who had balloon sinuplasty reported symptom improvement with less frequency and severity of infections at an average follow-up of 40 weeks, according to a large-scale, “real-world” registry4
- 535,000 patients treated5
