The treatment of ARS primarily involves symptomatic control with intranasal corticosteroids and nasal saline irrigation; antibiotics should be reserved for the patients who are believed to have bacterial rhinosinusitis. Treating CRS effectively involves using intranasal corticosteroids and irrigation, systemic corticosteroids, and potentially systemic antibiotics. Biologics (mAbs) have shown benefit in clinical studies. Providers should also be aware of concomitant disease processes that may afflict patients with CRS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
