  • serosanguinous discharge is a tumour of the nose or postnasal sinus until proven otherwise

  • swelling of the cheek is never due to sinusitis; it is a result of tumour or dental disease

  • unilateral nasal polyps are tumour until proven otherwise

  • unilateral closed, swollen eyelid in a child or a young adult is acute ethmoiditis or post septal infection

  • if ephedrine or otrivine are used for more than two weeks then rebound rhinitis is possible

  • frontal sinusitis should be refered to the ENT department

  • child with unilateral, smelly discharge from the nose has a foreign body in the nose until proven otherwise
