... The treatment for sinusitis is best determined by its likely cause...

... An acute attack, at the outset, is best treated symptomatically...
... If the diagnosis is not entirely clear, if an acute infection recurs, or if your symptoms have been ongoing (chronic), then additional tests that your doctor may consider include an xray, CT scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
... This specialist may perform a rhinoscopy (also called nasal endoscopy) using a fiber optic scope to look at your sinuses or a sinus puncture to test for different organisms that may be causing your sinusitis...
... The most important action is drinking lots and lots of liquids, which help thin secretions in the nose and sinuses and promote drainage...
