Sinusitis is inflammation of the tissue lining the sinuses, causing blockage of normal drainage, mucus accumulation, and potential bacterial growth. It typically results from viral upper respiratory infections, allergies, nasal polyps, or anatomical abnormalities like deviated septum. Travel can trigger or worsen sinus problems through pressure changes during flights, exposure to different allergens or irritants, and climate variations. Symptoms include facial pain/pressure, nasal congestion, thick nasal discharge, reduced smell/taste, post-nasal drip, and sometimes fever or dental pain. Treatment is important as sinusitis can significantly impact quality of life during travel and, if bacterial, can occasionally spread to nearby structures including the eyes or brain if left untreated. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination, nasal endoscopy, and sometimes imaging studies for chronic or complicated cases. Treatment options include saline nasal irrigation, decongestants (short-term), nasal corticosteroids, antihistamines for allergic components, antibiotics for confirmed bacterial infections, and in chronic cases, oral steroids. Mexican otolaryngologists (ENT specialists) typically provide more comprehensive treatments than US urgent care centers, often including in-office procedures like targeted sinus irrigation or minor nasal procedures that provide immediate relief from acute symptoms.
