Allergic Fungal Sinusitis: Causes and Treatment Options

Have you been dealing with recurring sinus infections, only to feel worn down by constant congestion, facial pressure or headaches that interfere with everyday life? In Singapore, chronic sinusitis is relatively common, often linked to the warm, humid climate and ongoing exposure to allergens such as dust mites, haze and air pollution.
