Your answers indicate that you probably do not suffer from chronic sinusitis, however if your symptoms remain for a longer period you should seek medical advice.
- Medical guidelines define chronic rhinosinusitis as a disease characterized by the presence of two or more of the following key symptoms for at least 12 consecutive weeks (one of which should be a nasal symptom): nasal blockage, runny nose, post-nasal drip, facial pain, reduction of smell.
This assessment should not be considered as a diagnosis or medical advice. If your symptoms are troublesome, visit your general practitioner (GP) for an accurate diagnosis.
