Abstract
The management of rhinosinusitis depends on a number of variables related to the duration and severity of symptoms in the individual patient. Furthermore acute rhinosinusitis is managed differently than chronic rhinosinusitis. Because a variety of conservative and pharmacologic interventions are available, the physician can find it difficult to develop a cohesive and logical approach to treatment. An understanding of the pathophysiology, microbiology, and natural history of rhinosinusitis is necessary to formulate the best treatment plan for the individual patient.Keywords
