Living with chronic rhinosinusitis presents daily challenges, but our resources are designed to help.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is when the lining of your nose and sinuses gets swollen and irritated for a long time.
This can make it hard to breathe, cause pain in your face, and even affect your sense of smell.
Unlike a regular, acute (or short-lived) sinus infection that goes away, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) hangs around for 12 weeks or even longer.
It’s caused by ongoing inflammation, not just a simple infection. Some symptoms include:
Nose Congestion
A stuffy or runny nose that makes it hard to breathe. This can be constant or come and go.
Facial Plan
Feeling of pressure or pain around your forehead, cheeks, nose, or eyes.
Reduced Smell
Difficulty smelling or tasting things.
