Sinusitis

Sinusitis is one of the most common conditions that our patients struggle with. Defined as the swelling and inflammation of the spaces inside your sinuses, this condition has many causes and can last anywhere from one week to several months. If it is lasting for a long time, you should see a sinus specialist.

Allergic Rhinitis

Also known as hay fever, this condition causes sneezing, congestion, and an itchy nose. This condition is an allergic reaction to anything from pet dander to mold and can be frustrating even though it is typically easy to manage.

Sinus Infections

Sinus infections can cause headaches, congestion, fatigue, and a number of other symptoms. This is caused by a bacterial or fungal infection in the sinuses and is very common, especially in people who have a cold. If you think you may have a sinus infection, reach out to the sinus specialists at Light ENT to get diagnosis and treatment!

Deviated Septum

Another common problem with sinuses is a deviated septum. A deviated septum can cause bleeding from the nose, trouble breathing, loss of smell, and snoring and is defined as a crooked septum (displacement of the wall between your nostrils). If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, reach out to Light ENT today!
