Some of the first chronic sinusitis treatments that may be prescribed deal with only the symptoms of the condition. These recommendations will not cure the disease, but will alleviate some of the painful and cumbersome side effects it causes. First, a nasal spray may be recommended to help clear up the nasal passage and prevent constant drainage of the nose and throat. Over-the-counter or prescription decongestants may also be prescribed to attempt to break down build-up in the breathing passageway. These medicines, however, should only be taken for short periods of time as they can cause more serious complications in the long run. Additionally, over-the-counter pain relievers can also aid in reducing the painful side effects of chronic sinusitis.
