Top 5 Chronic sinusitis treatment Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need an ENT doctor for chronic sinusitis?

Chronic sinusitis, more accurately called chronic rhinosinusitis, is persistent inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses lasting twelve weeks or more. It is different from a cold or a short sinus infection, which usually settles within a few weeks.

The four main symptoms are:

• Nasal blockage or congestion
• Discharge from the front of the nose or dripping down the back of the throat
• Facial pressure or pain, often around the cheeks, eyes or forehead
• A reduced or lost sense of smell

Symptoms alone are not enough for the diagnosis. An ENT specialist needs an objective finding, seen either through nasal endoscopy (a thin camera passed into the nose in the clinic) or on a CT scan. That is why a proper assessment matters before any long course of treatment.

It is worth booking an ENT visit if:

• Your nose has been blocked or running for around three months or more
• Your sense of smell has faded and not returned
• Sprays from the pharmacy have not helped, or you keep needing them
• You have asthma or allergies and your nose is getting worse
• Symptoms are mainly on one side, especially with bleeding or crusting

Warning signs that need urgent care

Sinus infections can rarely spread to the eye or brain. Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you have swelling or redness around the eye, double vision or changes in vision, difficulty moving the eye, a severe headache, a stiff neck, confusion or drowsiness, swelling of the forehead, or a high fever with feeling very unwell. Do not wait for a clinic appointment in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

People searching for the best chronic sinusitis treatment doctors in Jordan often look for a single name. A more useful approach is to match a doctor's published information to your own situation. All five profiles on this page list chronic sinusitis or sinusitis care, and all list nasal endoscopy as a sub-specialty.

Practical points to compare:

• Sinus-related services. Several profiles publish endoscopic sinus surgery, nasal polyp care and septoplasty. If you already know you have polyps or a deviated septum, check that those services appear.
• Children. If the patient is a child, note which profiles mention paediatric ENT care or seeing children.
• Related problems. Chronic sinusitis often comes with snoring, ear pressure or hearing complaints. Some profiles also list snoring assessment, hearing tests or balance assessment.
• Hours. Clinic times differ a lot: some are open from the morning, one mainly in the evening, and one also on Friday. Pick a time you can keep for follow-up, because treatment usually needs more than one visit.
• Qualifications. Each card shows the degrees, boards and fellowships the doctor has published. Read them as information, not as a ranking.

Remember that the order of the list reflects profile completeness, not clinical quality.

What to expect at the first visit

An assessment visit with endoscopy usually takes 20 to 40 minutes. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long they have lasted and what you have already tried, then examine your nose. Nasal endoscopy is usually done in the clinic, sometimes after a numbing or decongestant spray.

Treatment for chronic sinusitis normally starts with structured medical therapy rather than surgery. This usually includes regular saline nasal rinses and a steroid nasal spray used for a period your doctor sets. Your doctor will also look at contributing factors, which matter a great deal:

• Allergic rhinitis and asthma
• Cigarette and waterpipe (argileh) smoking, including second-hand smoke
• Acid reflux
• Infected roots of the upper back teeth, which can affect the sinus above them

If symptoms continue after an adequate course, the doctor may reassess you and request a CT scan. Endoscopic sinus surgery is considered for some patients when medical therapy has not been enough; when needed it typically takes one to two hours, and ongoing care afterwards is part of treatment.

What to bring

• A list of all medicines and sprays you use, including any from the pharmacy
• Previous CT scans or reports, ideally on a disc or flash drive
• Notes on your asthma, allergies and any dental problems
• Your insurance card and ID

Questions to ask

• What did the endoscopy show, and is this chronic rhinosinusitis?
• Which contributing factors apply to me?
• How long should I follow the medical treatment before we review it?
• At what point would a CT scan or surgery be considered?

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

None of these five profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly when you book. Useful questions:

• What is the consultation fee, and is nasal endoscopy charged separately?
• Is a follow-up visit within a set period included or charged again?
• Does the clinic accept my insurer, and is the doctor in my plan's network?
• Does my insurer need pre-approval for endoscopy, a CT scan or surgery?

Some profiles list many insurers and others list one or none. A listed insurer does not guarantee that your specific plan is covered, so confirm with both the clinic and your insurer. For one profile, the biography mentions a different branch from the listed clinic, so confirm the exact address when booking.

Getting there

This is a Kingdom-wide list for Jordan, but all five profiles currently list clinics in the capital. Each card shows the doctor's district and map location. Before you travel:

• Check the district and building on the profile, and ask which floor the clinic is on
• Allow extra time at busy hours, as traffic around main roads can delay you
• Ask about parking or the nearest drop-off point if mobility is an issue
• If you are visiting Jordan, plan follow-up visits before your return date, since medical therapy runs over weeks

Checklist before you book

• You have no urgent warning signs (if you do, call 911)
