Beyond Symptom Relief: Enhancing Patient Outcomes in Sinusitis Management through a Patient-Centered Lens

Abstract

Hypersalivation, or excessive saliva production, can be a bothersome symptom associated with various underlying conditions. Sinusitis, inflammation of the sinus cavities, is a potential cause of hypersalivation due to drainage and irritation in the upper respiratory tract. This paper investigates the connection between sinus issues and hypersalivation, exploring the mechanisms at play, common symptoms, and potential treatment options. The paper aims to provide a concise overview of this often-overlooked link and its impact on individuals experiencing both conditions.
