Your sinusitis explained

Sinusitis happens when the small air spaces in your face become swollen and blocked. You may notice a blocked nose, thick nasal discharge, facial pain or pressure, and reduced sense of smell. Most people start to feel better within two to three weeks.

Your pharmacist can assess your symptoms, check for warning signs, and guide you on the right care. Many cases do not need antibiotics. Pain relief, nasal care, and rest often help most. You may be offered a medicine if it is right for you.

Practical steps matter. Use paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain. Try a salt water nasal rinse. A decongestant nasal spray can help for a few days. Hold a warm face compress for comfort. Drink fluids and rest well to support recovery.

Seek urgent help if you have swelling around the eyes, a very high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, confusion, or you feel very unwell. Come back if symptoms are getting worse or not improving after a few days. We will review your plan with you.

When we can treat you

Our pharmacist can help when symptoms suggest uncomplicated sinusitis and there are no red flags. We will confirm your symptoms, medical history, and any current medicines, then agree a plan. Age and symptom criteria apply for this national community pharmacy service.

  • Blocked nose, facial pain, or pressure
  • Thick nasal discharge or post nasal drip
  • Symptoms for a few days or up to a couple of weeks
  • No severe swelling around the eyes
  • No serious long term conditions that need specialist care

Self care that helps

Simple steps can ease pressure and shorten bad days. Use them alongside any treatment you are given. Avoid steam inhalation because of burn risk. Keep it steady and review if things change.

  • Paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain
  • Saline nasal rinse once or twice daily
  • Decongestant nasal spray for up to seven days
  • Warm face compress for comfort
  • Rest, fluids, and gentle pacing
