The median age was 37.0 years (IQR: 30.3-46.0). The age group with the highest prevalence was 31-40 years (34.6%). A total of 96.4% of rhinosinusitis patients received herbal medicine. Among these, 87% were treated with finished herbal products, and 14.6% with herbal decoction. Non-pharmacological methods were used in 48.2% of patients, with thread-embedding acupuncture being the most common (33.3%).
