Surgery
Sinus surgery is used to open blocked sinuses, drain the
sinus passages and allow the infection to gradually resolve. There
are new techniques available for sinus surgery, which cause less
swelling, bruising, bleeding, and pain than before. Please review
the following carefully to ensure that you do your part towards a
recovery that is as uncomplicated as possible.

any other anti-inflammatory medication.
