Post-operative management of chronic rhinosinusitis is very crucial for outcomes following surgery, Normal saline nasal irrigation and steroid spray form the standard treatment of care in this period. However nasal irrigation may not be adequate and spray is usually started after 2 weeks of surgery which in any case does not deliver optimum dosage of drug to the paranasal sinus mucosa. Budesonide nasal irrigation in a high-volume low-pressure system could be the solution for a better outcome. A double blinded randomized control trial with 88 patients in 2 groups of 44 each received normal saline or Budesonide nasal irrigation (0...

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and nonallergic rhinitis are prevalent diseases. In western countries, type 2 inflammation usually characterizes these medical conditions and mainly sustains nasal obstruction. Budesonide aqueous nasal spray (BANS) is an intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) that has been available since the early 1980s. BANS is indicated for treating allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis, and nasal polyps (both as treatment and prevention after surgery). Consolidated evidence confirms its efficacy in treating seasonal and perennial AR, and nonallergic rhinitis...

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent disease in childhood and adolescence. A type 2 inflammation characterizes AR and, mainly, sustains nasal obstruction. Budesonide aqueous nasal spray (BANS) is an intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) available since the early 1980s. BANS is indicated for treating allergic rhinitis. There is evidence about its efficacy in treating children and adolescents with seasonal and perennial AR. In addition, BANS is safe with negligible local and systemic side effects. Recent guidelines for patients with AR recommend the use of INCS as first line in many situations...

BACKGROUND: Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions (OGDs) are key symptoms of COVID-19, which may lead to neurological complications, and lack of effective treatment. This may be because post-disease treatments may be too late to protect the olfactory and gustatory functions. AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of early use of saline nasal irrigation (SNI), corticosteroid nasal spray, and saline or chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash for preventing OGDs in COVID-19. DESIGN: This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly prevalent condition. CRS is usually managed with intranasal corticosteroids, useful both before as well as after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, the greatest drawback of these low-volume sprays is the inadequate delivery into the paranasal sinuses, even after ESS. Recent studies have shown that high-volume steroid nasal rinse (HSNR) has a significantly better penetration of the paranasal sinuses. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to systematically overview the current literature about the role of nasal rinses with steroids in CRS...
