                            Most Asked Patient Questions

                            How can I tell if it's bacterial or viral?

                            While symptoms can be similar, bacterial infections typically last longer and may require antibiotics. We provide proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

                            When do I need antibiotics?

                            Antibiotics are prescribed for bacterial infections, typically when symptoms persist beyond 10 days or are severe.

                            Can sinus infections go away on their own?

                            Many viral sinus infections resolve naturally, but treatment can speed recovery and prevent complications.

                            How long should symptoms last?

                            Most acute cases improve within 7-10 days. Persistent symptoms warrant medical evaluation.

                            What home remedies are effective?

                            We recommend evidence-based home treatments while providing medical care when needed.
