In episode 514, James and Mike invite Betsy Thomas to the podcast for the first time. We look at a very common condition that many of us have at some point in our lives – allergic rhinosinusitis.

In addition, we look at the evidence for intranasal corticosteroids and they are likely more effective than oral antihistamines.
