It serves as a good reminder of the variety of types of sinus infections and the need to be cautious in treatment. Typical sinus infections have bacterial or viral causes. These are treated differently and sometimes treatments for these can exacerbate fungal sinus infections.The need to be cautious in treatment and diagnosis is also a reminder that patients shouldn't self-diagnose. Persistent sinusitis symptoms should be evaluated by a specialist to determine the type of infection and the best course for treatment. A misinformed diagnosis can lead to treatment that may just make the infection worse. Contact our office for a consultation on your symptoms.
