Manage Sinusitis?

There may be a treatable, underlying cause of your chronic sinus pain

STOP Sinusitis Symptoms

Sinusitis symptoms are distinct from those of a common cold. While cold symptoms typically resolve within 3-5 days, sinusitis symptoms persist for over 10 days without relief. Additional symptoms may include:

• Facial pressure and/or pain around the eyes, nose, jaw, and teeth
• Fatigue due to poor sleep from nighttime pain and congestion
• Low-grade fever
• Persistent congestion from swollen nasal passages, leading to breathing difficulties and a stuffy nose
• Blocked nasal passageways
• Headaches
• Postnasal drip (mucus trickling down the back of the nose into the throat)
• Nasal discharge (green, yellow, or cloudy mucus draining from the nose)

STOP Sinusitis and Reclaim Your Health

Those experiencing sinusitis have various treatment options to explore with our trusted physicians, ranging from over-the-counter medications to surgical solutions.

• Medication: Based on your symptoms, their severity, and duration, our doctors might recommend various treatments to alleviate your discomfort. These could include prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, or home-based treatments:
  - Decongestants: Used to reduce swelling of the sinus lining
  - Nasal and systemic steroids: Used to decrease inflammation
  - Mucolytics: Used to thin thickened nasal secretions
  - Sinus irrigation: Used to cleanse the sinuses
• Balloon Sinuplasty: A minimally invasive, office-based procedure that helps open blocked sinus pathways to support better drainage and breathing. Your ENT specialist can help determine if this is a good option for your unique needs.
• Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): A surgical technique used to improve sinus airflow and drainage when other treatments haven’t provided adequate relief. Your ENT provider will walk you through what to expect and how this procedure fits into your care plan.
