Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis is also known as Hay Fever. You may be allergic to dust or pollen and have problems breathing in environments that contain these elements. The body tries to fight the invasion of pollen and dust by releasing histamines, but you will subsequently experience symptoms of runny nose, itchy eyes or sneezing.

Chronic Sinusitis

More than 35 million people in the United States suffer from this condition each year. This type of sinus problem causes inflammation in your sinuses. This condition is caused from a bacterial or viral infection and could last for longer than twelve weeks.

Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are growths in the nasal tissue. Don’t worry. These are benign, but can cause sinus blockage, resulting in relentless cold-like symptoms. Doctors believe that these polyps result from allergies, chronic sinus infection, and asthma.

Your sinus treatment will depend on the severity of the condition. An E.N.T. specialist, after asking several questions about your medical history and symptoms will determine the diagnosis. The E.N.T. specialist may also have further tests done and these could include:

  • Nasal Endoscopy
  • CT Scan
  • Mucus Culture
  • MRI
  • Blood Test

Treating the Sinuses
