Recovery Time

For acute sinusitis, symptoms usually improve within 1 to 2 weeks with proper treatment. For surgical procedures like FESS or balloon sinuplasty, most patients return to routine activities within 5 to 7 days, although complete internal healing may take a few weeks. Chronic sinusitis cases may require a longer healing phase and ongoing preventive care.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the Procedure –
You will undergo a detailed ENT evaluation, possibly including nasal endoscopy and scans. The doctor will explain the procedure, benefits, risks, and aftercare instructions.

During the Procedure –

Performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity.
In endoscopic sinus surgery, a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the nose to remove blockages.
In balloon sinuplasty, a balloon catheter is used to widen sinus passages.

After the Procedure –

You may have mild nasal congestion or drainage for a few days.
Pain is generally minimal and managed with medication.
Nasal rinses are prescribed to aid healing.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Days 1–3 – Rest and avoid strenuous activities.
Week 1 – Nasal congestion and discharge begin to reduce.
Week 2–3 – Healing progresses; follow-up cleaning may be done by the ENT.
Week 4 – Most patients feel completely recovered.

Post-care tips:

Avoid exposure to dust, smoke, and allergens.
Follow your medication plan strictly.
Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
