Top 5 Chronic sinusitis treatment Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Chronic sinusitis, more accurately called chronic rhinosinusitis, is long-lasting inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses that continues for twelve weeks or more. It is different from a cold or a short bout of acute sinusitis, which usually settles within a few weeks.

ENT specialists look for four main symptoms:

• Nasal blockage or congestion
• Discharge from the front of the nose, or dripping down the back of the throat
• Pressure or pain in the face
• A reduced or lost sense of smell

Symptoms alone are not enough for a diagnosis. The doctor also needs an objective finding, usually seen during nasal endoscopy (a thin camera passed into the nose) or, when needed, on a CT scan.

Consider booking an ENT visit if:

• Nasal or facial symptoms have lasted around three months
• Symptoms keep coming back several times a year
• Your sense of smell has faded
• Symptoms are affecting your sleep or work

Asthma, nasal allergies and smoking, including waterpipe smoking, are common in people with chronic sinusitis. If you have any of these, mention them.

Some symptoms on one side only need a prompt review rather than a long wait. These include blockage on one side, bloody discharge, or a new lump in the nose or face.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Sinus infections can occasionally spread to the eye or brain. Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you notice any of the following:

• Swelling or redness around the eye
• Double vision, reduced vision, or difficulty moving the eye
• A severe headache, stiff neck, confusion or drowsiness
• High fever with swelling of the forehead

How to choose among the clinics here

All five profiles publish chronic sinusitis care. They differ in setting, published services and hours. Useful points to compare:

• Endoscopy at the first visit. Diagnosis depends on an objective finding. Ask whether nasal endoscopy can be done during the consultation. Some profiles list nasal endoscopy as a specialty or service.
• Help with contributing factors. Allergies, asthma, smoking, reflux and infected roots of the upper teeth can all keep sinus inflammation going. One centre on this list also publishes an Allergy & Immunology doctor, and multi-specialty centres may make referrals easier. Single-doctor ENT clinics offer continuity with one specialist.
• Surgical pathway. Treatment starts with structured medical therapy, not surgery. If surgery becomes necessary later, it helps to know where and how it would be arranged. Several profiles state that procedure locations are confirmed during planning.
• Children. If the patient is a child, choose a profile that states it sees children or lists pediatric ENT.
• Hours that fit follow-up. Medical therapy runs over weeks and usually needs a review visit. Morning, evening or Friday hours may matter more than distance.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. It is not a ranking of skill or outcomes.

What to expect at the first visit

An assessment visit with endoscopy usually takes about 20 to 40 minutes. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, examine your nose, and may perform nasal endoscopy. It is usually done with a local anaesthetic or decongestant spray and is generally quick.

A CT scan is not always needed at the start. It is often reserved for reassessment if symptoms continue despite treatment, or for planning surgery.

Preparation

• Write down when symptoms started, which side is affected, and what makes them better or worse.
• Note any smell loss, snoring, or dental problems in your upper teeth.
• Note whether you have allergies, asthma, reflux, or a history of nasal polyps.

What to bring

• A list of all medicines, sprays and supplements you use or have tried, including any antibiotic courses
• Previous scans or reports, and any earlier ENT or allergy reports
• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one

Questions to ask

• What did the examination show, and is the diagnosis confirmed?
• How long should I use saline irrigation and the steroid spray before we review?
• Which contributing factors should I address?
• When would a scan or surgery be considered?

Structured medical therapy usually means regular saline rinses and a steroid nasal spray. The clinician decides how long you use them, so follow your doctor's instructions rather than general advice.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

The profiles on this page do not publish consultation fees or insurer lists. Confirm these details with the clinic before your visit. Useful questions:

• Is the consultation fee separate from nasal endoscopy?
• Is a follow-up visit included or charged separately?
• Do you accept my insurance, and does it need pre-approval for endoscopy, a CT scan or surgery?
• Where would any operation take place, and who arranges it?
• Will the specific doctor be present on the day and time I book?

In multi-specialty centres, the reception hours may not match each specialist's schedule, so always confirm the doctor's attendance.

Getting there

This is a list covering Jordan as a whole. Each profile states its own city and district, and most add the building name and floor. Before you set out:

• Use the map location on each profile.
• Check the confirmed hours for your chosen day. One clinic here opens only in the late afternoon and evening, and one centre lists Friday hours.
• If you are coming from outside the city, plan time for the visit itself as well as the journey.
• Ask about parking and lift access if needed.
