Chronic Sinusitis
At NYU Langone, doctors who specialize in conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat—known as otolaryngologists—are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic sinusitis, an infection or inflammation of the sinuses that persists for more than three months. The symptoms of chronic sinusitis mimic those of the common cold and allergies, but sinusitis lasts longer and requires specific treatment. Our doctors use sophisticated tools to diagnose this chronic condition and recommend remedies to help you feel better and breathe more easily.
