Local examination is aimed at correcting any imbalance in the cranial bones that would alter the normal drainage from the sinuses. Examination and treatment is then aimed at the underlying cause whether it is an allergic reaction or an infection. Nutritional therapy may by used to augment the immune system. Testing will be done to identify any allergic sensitivity.
