If sinusitis is chronic or very infected and home treatments are not working, your healthcare provider may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist).
You will have a CT scan before seeing a specialist. Keep following your healthcare provider’s advice while you wait for your specialist appointment.
The specialist will do an exam and may order more tests. They will talk with you about the treatment and management options that are right for you.
