Registration Number
NCT01430026
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The propose of this study to determine efficacy and complication of gentamicin nasal irrigation in chronic rhinosinusitis

In pediatrics allergy clinic at Siriraj hospital since 2006 use Gentamicin nasal irrigation for chronic rhinosinusitis.There have been no studies in gentamicin irrigation in chronic rhinosinusitis. The aims of this study are to evaluate:

1. Efficacy of gentamicin nasal irrigation in chronic rhinosinusitis (outcomes: frequency of sinusitis, frequency of antibiotic usage)

2. Complication of gentamicin nasal irrigation usage
