Sinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, commonly resulting from viral or bacterial infections, allergies, or structural nasal issues like polyps or a deviated septum. It manifests as nasal congestion, thick or purulent nasal discharge, facial pain or pressure (forehead, cheeks, or around eyes), headaches, postnasal drip, cough, fever, and fatigue. Acute sinusitis lasts less than four weeks, whereas chronic sinusitis persists for 12 weeks or more, often leading to recurrent infections and impaired quality of life. The condition occurs due to obstruction of sinus drainage, mucosal inflammation, and secondary microbial growth.

Homoeopathy treats sinusitis by selecting remedies based on the totality of symptoms rather than just the diagnosis. Each remedy is chosen according to the type and color of nasal discharge, specific locations of pain or pressure, aggravating and ameliorating factors, mental-emotional state, and patient constitution. Acute attacks are treated with symptom-specific remedies, while chronic or recurrent cases often require constitutional treatment. The goal is to relieve congestion, reduce inflammation, restore sinus drainage, enhance immunity, and prevent relapses without suppressing natural defenses.

Homoeopathic management of sinusitis focuses on symptom-directed treatment in acute cases and constitutional management in chronic or recurrent cases. Remedy selection depends on nasal discharge, sinus pain location, aggravating/relieving factors, and the patient’s overall constitution. This individualized approach alleviates congestion, reduces inflammation, restores sinus function, and prevents relapses, enhancing overall respiratory and immune health.
