Acute rhinosinusitis is a common primary care presentation. It presents due to mucosal inflammation and reduced mucociliary function of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Antibiotic therapy is common, however, the vast majority of cases are not bacterial.
This KISS covers the aetiology, diagnosis and symptomatic management of acute rhinosinusitis, including advice on antibiotic choices, when indicated.
