Can sinus infection treatment be prescribed online in Europe? Sinus infection treatment online explained under EU telemedicine standards.

A sinus infection (acute sinusitis) is inflammation of the sinus cavities, usually caused by a viral infection and less commonly by bacteria. Symptoms may include facial pressure, nasal congestion, thick discharge, reduced smell, and headache. This episode explains how sinus infections are assessed remotely and when prescription treatment may be appropriate.

You will learn:

• The difference between viral and bacterial sinusitis

• Typical symptom duration and when antibiotics may be considered

• How a doctor evaluates severity, fever, facial pain, and symptom progression

• Supportive treatments (saline irrigation, pain relief, nasal sprays)

• When a prescription request may be declined (mild early symptoms, likely viral infection, diagnostic uncertainty)

• When urgent in-person evaluation is required (severe headache, swelling around the eyes, visual changes, high persistent fever, neurological symptoms)

All treatment requests through Mobi Doctor are subject to individual medical assessment and EU legal requirements. Not all sinus symptoms are suitable for remote management.
