While most cases of sinusitis resolve with appropriate treatment, complications can arise in severe or recurrent instances. These complications may include the spread of infection to nearby structures, the development of chronic inflammation, or the formation of abscesses. Addressing the underlying causes, using appropriate medications, and following a healthcare provider's recommendations are crucial in preventing complications. Preventive measures for sinusitis focus on reducing the risk of respiratory infections, managing allergies, and practicing good nasal hygiene. This includes frequent handwashing, avoiding exposure to respiratory irritants, and maintaining a clean and humidified environment. Allergy management through antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids can help prevent sinusitis in individuals prone to allergic reactions. Lifestyle management also plays a role in preventing and managing sinusitis. Adequate hydration, regular exercise, and a well-balanced diet contribute to overall health, which can impact the immune system's ability to fend off infections. Avoiding smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke is particularly important, as tobacco smoke can irritate the nasal passages and exacerbate sinusitis symptoms.
