A team of doctors at Rochester's Mayo Clinic has developed an innovative way to treat, and possibly even cure, sinusitis. MPR’s Steven John interviews Dr. David Sherris about the condition and new treatment.
The condition, which is an inflammation or infection of the sinuses, affects about 37 million Americans and no cure is currently available. Most doctors treat symptoms, which include fever, cough and congestion, with antibiotics or steroids. In extreme cases, doctors perform surgery.
