Sinus problems affect millions of people every year, causing discomfort and disrupting daily life. From nasal congestion to severe facial pain, sinus issues can be both frustrating and difficult to manage without proper care. Thankfully, there are effective treatments available that can bring lasting relief. If you’re tired of suffering from sinus pain, Exhale Sinus, TMJ, Headache & Sleep offers expert care to help you find a solution.
1. Sinusitis: One of the most common sinus problems is sinusitis, which occurs when the tissue lining the sinuses becomes inflamed or infected. Sinusitis can be acute, lasting a few weeks, or chronic, persisting for months or even years. Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and post-nasal drip.
2. Nasal Polyps: Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths that can develop in the sinuses or nasal passages, leading to difficulty breathing and chronic congestion. Polyps often recur after treatment unless the underlying causes, such as allergies or infections, are addressed.
3. Allergic Rhinitis: Commonly known as hay fever, allergic rhinitis is triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander. It causes sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, which can exacerbate sinus pressure and discomfort.
1. Nasal Sprays: Saline nasal sprays and corticosteroid sprays help reduce inflammation and keep nasal passages moist, providing relief from congestion.
2. Antibiotics: If your sinus infection is caused by bacteria, antibiotics may be prescribed. However, they are not effective for viral infections or chronic sinusitis.
3. Balloon Sinuplasty: This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a small balloon into the nasal passage and inflating it to open up blocked sinuses. It’s an effective solution for chronic sinusitis and can provide long-term relief without the need for major surgery.
