title: [Treatment of low-dose erythromycin and sinus displacement on sinusitis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of low-dose erythromycin combined with sinus displacement therapy on treating sinusitis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sinus displacement were used with mixed liquid of metronidazole, protease and dexamethasone, and meantime roxithromycin was orally administered.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Effective rate was 97.1% in 35 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with sinusitis after radiotherapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Low-dose erythromycin combined with sinus displacement therapy is effective to treat sinusitis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy. Its advantages are safe, effective, and easy to do.
