"I have sinusitis. Despite taking cortisone for several days, the problem doesn't seem to be improving. What should I do?"

If you have been experiencing sinus pressure and intense headaches for two weeks without any cold symptoms or nasal drainage, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Persistent pain despite corticosteroid spray use for more than four days may indicate the need for antibiotics. In the meantime, continue using the corticosteroid spray but reduce the Sinus Rinse to once a day.
