Sinus

• Diagnose sinus issues: Specialists identify the root causes of sinus problems, such as infections, allergies, or structural issues.
• Prescribe medications: Treatments may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, antibiotics, or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and symptoms.
• Perform allergy testing: Allergy tests help pinpoint triggers contributing to sinus problems and guide personalized treatment plans.
• Offer immunotherapy: Allergy shots can increase tolerance to allergens and reduce sinus-related symptoms over time.
• Recommend lifestyle changes: Specialists advise on avoiding triggers, using saline rinses, and adopting preventive measures for symptom relief.

Chronic sinusitis symptoms often include nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, post-nasal drip, and fatigue lasting 12 weeks or more. If these symptoms persist despite medications, you may need evaluation by an ENT specialist.

Yes. Allergies can trigger or worsen sinus inflammation by causing swelling in the nasal passages. Identifying and managing these triggers with allergy testing or immunotherapy can reduce sinus flare-ups.

Sinus surgery is considered when conservative treatments like medications and nasal sprays fail to relieve chronic symptoms. Minimally invasive procedures, such as balloon sinuplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery, can improve drainage and restore sinus function.
