Common symptoms of nasal and sinusitis include postnasal drip, reduced sense of smell, nasal discharge, and nasal congestion. In severe cases, patients may also experience headaches or fever. Some patients with fungal sinusitis may additionally have a foul odor in the nasal cavity and bloody nasal discharge. The condition can be definitively diagnosed through nasal endoscopy or sinus CT scan at a hospital, and treatment typically involves oral medications as prescribed by a physician.
