Earlier people used a lot of thing such as pain relievers, nasal steroid sprays, OTC (over the counter) decongestants, antibiotics and all sorts of medication to treat sinus. In most of the cases people did not get better even after using these medications. An ENT doctor normally used to suggest a traditional sinus surgery to such patients. This surgery usually was accompanied by significant amount of post surgical pain and a lot of bleeding. The recovery time after the surgery used to be something between a few days to a few weeks. People usually did not want to undergo this treatment due to its consequences but today with the advancement in medical field, the ENT surgeons are now able to offer their sinus patients FINess sinus treatment which is fast and painless. This is a non-complicated treatment which is short and simple and results in negligible amount of pain and bleeding. This technique can be carried out even under local anesthesia.
