Acute sinusitis usually follows some type of upper respiratory tract infection or cold. Instead of ending, the cold seems to linger on, with constant or even worsening congestion.
Decongestants, or the short-term use of decongestant nose sprays, can be useful. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen can decrease the pain and headache associated with sinusitis.

To code for a bilateral ear infection, use the ICD-10-CM codes H65.23 (bilateral acute serous otitis media) or H66.23 (bilateral acute suppurative otitis media), depending on the specific type of infection. Ensure you document the clinical details, such as symptoms and duration, to justify the coding. Always refer to the latest coding guidelines for accuracy.

Acute sinusitis typically lasts for up to four weeks. It often follows a viral upper respiratory infection and can be characterized by symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and discharge. If symptoms persist beyond this period or worsen, it may be advisable to consult a healthcare provider, as it could indicate a bacterial infection or other complications.
