STOP 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: This minimally invasive, office-based procedure gently enlarges your natural sinus openings, enhancing drainage and nasal anatomy. It provides a patient-friendly alternative to traditional surgery.
  - STOP sinusitis with a single procedure
  - Conveniently performed in our office in about an hour
  - Quick recovery time with excellent results
• Sinus Surgery: For certain patients, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) may be an option. This procedure improves sinus drainage by enhancing nasal anatomy, facilitating the natural flow of mucus from the sinus openings. Balloon sinuplasty can also be combined with FESS.
