Patients suffering from chronic sinus infections often worry about being “scoped” for diagnosis. Robert Pema, DO, FACOO, an otolaryngologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, assures patients that a scope is typically more easily tolerated than expected. A topical anesthetic is applied and most patients feel pressure, but not a lot of pain, and the procedure is over quickly.
