Diagnosed With Chronic Sinusitis. Had Been Exposed To Wood Dust At Work. Related?
Hi, I am Andrew, I am 55 years old. I have just been diagnosed with severe chronic sinusitis . I did work for more than 25 years as a MDT ( materials) teacher and exposed chronically to wood dust performing my job. Is it possible that the chronic dust exposure is the cause of my chronic sinusitis? I do not suffer from allergies. I was diagnosed with onset of asthma 5 years ago - no medication required. Thank you

Yes it is possible.You can get allergy tests and can treat sinusitis with immunotherapy
till then you can apply neosporin H eye ointment application into nose twice or thrice a day to prevent exposure to dust materials
