Can sinusitis go away on its own? Or, once I have it will I always have it?



The doctor told me I have sinusitis. She told me to take the prescribed medication to get rid of it. My friend has been dealing with sinusitis on and off for 10 years. My friend told me that once I have it, it never fully goes away. But, my doctor made it sound like it DOES go away. I asked my cousin, who's been a RN for a couple years, and she said that the doctor is correct, sinusitis can go away for good and may never return. But, my friend is very presistent that once I have it, it'll never fully go away. She says she's done lengthy research on sinusitis. Who's right?

it depends on the person and how healthy they are.
Well I have it for about 5 yrs now.... it never fully goes away for me however there are times when it feels better.
I have had it multiple times and a good antibiotic makes it go away - always make sure to take your antibiotic until it is finished or else it won't cure you completely. I think that if you have sinuses that are prone to infections that sinusitus is more common. Good luck
In my experience, your friend is right. I had sinusitis that would go away with antibiotics, but then when I'd finished taking them, it would be back after a month or so.

My theory is that the infection goes away with the antibiotic use, but the trigger that's causing the sinusitis is probably still there. It may be in your environment. For me, it depended on where I lived. Some places would cause me to suffer horribly with it. Then when I moved, I would be "cured." It doesn't even depend on the climate. I've lived in two different countries with similar climates, and the one would cause the sinusitis and the other wouldn't.
First and foremost, I would trust your doctor. Every single person is different and just because two people have the same symptoms, that doesn't mean they have the same thing.

I've dealt with plenty of doctors, for both myself and my son and I can tell you that finding a good, compassionate, knowledgeable doctor is very hard to do. But...if you trust your doctor, than I would go with what they told you.
I guess it depends on the person.

For me, I've been battling against my sinuses, asthma, and allergies since I was born. I'm 19 now and Im JUST getting to having a tonsilectomy, and surgery on my abnoids. I've done everything else in the book and nothing seems to work for me. Where as I know some people, who pop a pill for a few days and they're cured.
Well, ex has that and always has since he was little and it never goes away. he gets allergy shots to relieve some of it but its horrible. Our 3 yr old son was diagnosed with it also and he can never breathe out of his nose. Poor baby.
