Who you’ll see in Farnham
About sinusitis
In Farnham, seeing a GP — by video or in person — means a review of your symptoms and their duration, to decide whether the cause is viral or bacterial. Book if it's been more than 10 days without improvement, there's severe facial or eye pain, a high temperature, or symptoms flare up again after settling. Where needed, antibiotics or a steroid spray are arranged with your pharmacy the same day. Full detail is on /conditions/sinusitis/.
About sinusitis
Inflammation of the sinuses — the air-filled spaces behind the nose, cheeks and forehead — is called sinusitis, and it often follows a cold. It typically causes facial pain or pressure, a blocked or runny nose, a reduced sense of smell, and sometimes a cough that worsens at night. Viral cases are most common and usually clear within two to three weeks, though bacterial sinusitis occasionally needs antibiotics.
