It seems he didn’t finish the course of antibiotics and it is now a chronic conditionWhat does sinusitis mean in Russia? In the US it is generally just one of the symptoms of the common head cold - congestion, possibly swelling, possibly localized pain. It would be rare to hospitalize someone for it; at worst, if you have a secondary bacterial infection, you would take a course of antibiotics. Does the term mean something different in Russia?

Thanks. I am still a bit mystified, though! If he still has an active infection, he just needs to take another course of antibiotics. If he has chronic congestion but no infection (I have this due to allergies) it’s treated by staying hydrated, taking a mucus thinner and aspirin/ ibuprofen as needed, and maybe a decongestant. Perhaps as an elite athlete he can’t take some of that medication or there’s something else we don’t know. In any case, I wish him the best and hope he recovers quickly.
I suspect some (or much) of what we would take to feel better with this condition is on the list of banned substances. Didn't a skater get suspended for taking basically a cold medicine a few years back?

I dont know about anyone who was suspended, but yes, that is what I was thinking. If so, it’s too bad bc it suggests you would have to stop competing for some time to treat a problem like this, which I’m sure no skater would want to do. It’s a shame.
Elena Berezhnaya, stripped of European gold to boot. I feel old for knowing that, almost 2 decades ago
It was Berezhnaya. They lost their European medal, but looking back, the issue was that she tested positive for pseudoephedrine and hadn't disclosed a prescription ahead.
