All adult men and women with active CRS will be considered for participation in this study without regard to race, gender, or socioeconomic status. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who are taking topical antibiotic irrigations and are unwilling to stop them. 2. Patients who are unable to complete self-administered questionnaires because of cognitive impairment, language barrier, or severe medical conditions. 3. Patients who have a terminal illness (malignancy), immunocompromised (medication-related immunosuppression, immunodeficiency disorder) or systemic disease (granulomatosis polyangiitis or other autoimmune disease with sinonasal manifestations, cystic fibrosis), or recent head/sinonasal trauma that may predispose to infectious complications. 4. Patients who have severe or emergent complications from CRS or presence of a sinus tumor. 5. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
