Learn about how sinus infections can be diagnosed and treated with a virtual appointment.
Sinus infections, also known as sinusitis, can be a painful and inconvenient condition that can affect your daily life. Symptoms may include congestion, facial pressure, difficulty breathing through the nose, and headaches. Virtual care can be an effective and convenient way to receive treatment for sinus infections from the comfort of your own home.
The first step in treating a sinus infection is to arrange an appointment with a doctor. This can be done by clicking ‘See a Doctor’ on the Rocket Doctor website. Appointments can be made using a smartphone, tablet, computer or laptop. Appointments can be either video or live-chat, both of which provide a suitable means of communication with the doctor to provide the required information.
Many sinus infections are caused by viruses, which do not require antibiotics. However, if your sinus infection is caused by a bacterial infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help clear up the infection. You can seek sinus infections treatment online. Medications used to treat sinusitis can be prescribed by a doctor virtually and can be arranged to collect from a pharmacy of your choice.
In addition to medication, there are also a number of self-care measures that can be taken to help alleviate the symptoms of a sinus infection. These include:
It is important to follow the treatment plan recommended by your doctor and to finish all prescribed medications, even if you start to feel better.
Stopping treatment early can allow the infection to continue to grow and may result in the infection returning or worsening. Stopping antibiotics early leads to increasing levels of antibiotic resistance.
In some cases, a sinus infection may be caused by an underlying medical condition, such as allergies or a structural problem in the sinuses. In these cases, the doctor may recommend additional treatment or refer you to a specialist.
Rocket Doctor offers a convenient and effective way to get the care you need from the comfort of your own home. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, and to follow their recommended treatment plan. By taking these steps, you can help to alleviate the symptoms of your sinus infection and get back to feeling your best.
