Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcome [1]Symptom improvement: Defined as symptom scores less than or equal to 1 (i.e., mild or no symptoms) for all 5 major symptoms (rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure) for MSS on Day 5 and Day 10. [2]Percentage of patients with signs of acute rhinosinusitis in CT scan of paranasal sinuses before and after therapy. [3]Reduction in SNOT 20 symptom scores after Day 5 and Day 10 of treatment. Timepoint: Primary Outcome [1]Symptom improvement: Defined as symptom scores less than or equal to 1 (i.e., mild or no symptoms) for all 5 major symptoms (rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure) for MSS on Day 5 and Day 10.
