AND inflammation documented by one or more of the following findings:
- purulent mucus or edema in the middle meatus or ethmoid region
- radiographic imaging showing inflammation of the paranasal sinuses.
Exclusion Criteria:

- history of oral or systematic antibiotic use in the past 2 weeks

Active Comparator
Mometasone Furoate Nasal Irrigation
Mometasone Nasal Spray
The study intervention will be mometasone furoate powder (1.2 mg/capsule) and placebo nasal spray. The placebo nasal spray will contain the same inert ingredients found in MF nasal spray: glycerin, microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate, citric acid, benzalkonium chloride, and polysorbate 80. The placebo nasal spray will be packaged identically to the mometasone nasal spray. Participants will be required to dissolve the contents of two capsules into an 8-ounce (240 mL) sinus rinse bottle along with the saline rinse. All participants will be instructed to perform the following once daily: irrigation of both right and left nasal cavity with one-half of the contents of the nasal rinse followed by 2 sprays per nostril of the nasal spray.
The study intervention will be mometasone nasal spray (50 mcg/spray) and placebo nasal irrigation. The placebo will contain lactose monohydrate and will be supplied in capsules identical to the budesonide capsules. Participants will be required to dissolve the contents of the two capsules into an 8-ounce (240 mL) sinus rinse bottle along with the saline rinse. All participants will be instructed to perform the following once daily: irrigation of both right and left nasal cavity with one-half of the contents of the nasal rinse followed by 2 sprays per nostril of the nasal spray.
