Acute recurrent sinusitis, unspecified
ICD-10 J01.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acute recurrent sinusitis, unspecified.
Acute recurrent sinusitis, unspecified, is characterized by repeated episodes of sinus inflammation that can lead to nasal congestion, facial pain, and pressure. This condition often follows a viral upper respiratory infection and may be exacerbated by allergies or anatomical variations in the nasal passages. Patients may experience symptoms such as thick nasal discharge, headache, and reduced sense of smell. Treatment typically involves symptomatic relief, nasal corticosteroids, and in some cases, antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected.
Common symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, headache, and thick nasal discharge.
Treatment may include nasal corticosteroids, saline nasal irrigation, and antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected.
