Sinusitis Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sinusitis

Sinusitis — inflammation of the sinuses — is very common in Malaysia, particularly following upper respiratory infections or in people with allergic rhinitis. The condition causes facial pain, pressure, and nasal congestion that can significantly impair quality of life. Acute sinusitis usually resolves within 10 days, but chronic or recurrent sinusitis lasting more than 12 weeks may require specialist ENT evaluation.

Symptoms of Sinusitis

Facial pain or pressure around the cheeks, eyes, and forehead
Nasal congestion and reduced sense of smell
Thick yellow or green nasal discharge
Postnasal drip causing sore throat or cough
Headache worsened by bending forward
Fever and fatigue (acute sinusitis)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if symptoms last more than 10 days without improvement, if you develop high fever, severe headache, swelling around the eyes, or vision changes. Seek urgent care for stiff neck or confusion, as these can indicate spread of infection to surrounding structures.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah treats sinusitis with a combination of saline nasal irrigation advice, nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines for allergic triggers, and antibiotics when bacterial infection is confirmed by clinical assessment. For chronic sinusitis or recurrent episodes, we refer to an ENT specialist for further evaluation including nasal endoscopy. We also manage underlying allergic rhinitis to prevent recurrent sinus problems.
