Sinus Wash (Antral Wash)

Sinus wash, also called antral wash or sinus irrigation, is a minor ENT procedure used to flush out pus, mucus, or debris from the maxillary sinuses. It helps relieve symptoms of acute or chronic sinus infections, facial pain, and congestion. The procedure involves inserting a cannula into the sinus through the nasal cavity or small puncture, irrigating with saline or antiseptic solutions. Sinus wash is quick, minimally invasive, and often performed in outpatient settings to improve sinus drainage and comfort.
