Symptoms
Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, hollow areas of the skull in the cheekbones, forehead and behind the nose is called sinusitis. Sinusitis can be acute or chronic and can be caused by infectious agents, allergies or their combination. It is very common and affects 20-30 million Americans a year. The typical symptoms include facial pressure or in the forehead, a stuffy nose, nasal drainage, post-nasal drip, cough, head congestion, ear fullness and/or a headache.
Symptoms may also include toothache, fatigue and, occasionally, a fever. Chronic sinusitis may manifest by unrelenting postnasal drainage, cough and/or frequent exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
Key Points:
- •Facial pressure, stuffy nose, and nasal drainage
- •Post-nasal drip, cough, and head congestion
- •Toothache, fatigue, and occasionally fever
Diagnosis
Our specialists in the Premier Allergy and Asthma Centers are very well trained to evaluate sinus problems in relation to allergic diseases by performing allergy testing and precise imaging studies of the sinuses (sinus CT). We also offer the most sophisticated laboratory testing to diagnose immune disorders and immune deficiency which can cause chronic and recurrent infections or infections resistant to antibiotics.
Frequent or chronic sinus infections (sinusitis), ear infections (otitis), nasal polyps or pneumonia(s) may sometimes be symptoms of a hidden immunodeficiency.
Key Points:
- •Allergy testing and precise sinus CT imaging studies
- •Sophisticated laboratory testing for immune disorders
- •Evaluation of immunodeficiency and underlying conditions
Treatment
Our allergy and immunology specialists will use all diagnostic and comprehensive therapeutic methods and approaches to alleviate and eliminate your sinus symptoms, frequent infections and if needed, properly address the underlying immune deficiency and disorders.
Treatment approaches include targeted medical therapy, immunotherapy for allergic causes, and specialized interventions for immune deficiencies. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures optimal outcomes for both acute and chronic sinus conditions.
Key Points:
- •Targeted medical therapy including antibiotics, antifungals, and anti-inflammatory medications
- •Immunotherapy for allergy-related sinusitis and immune deficiency treatment
- •Surgical intervention when structural abnormalities require correction
Prevention
Preventing sinus disease requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both immediate triggers and underlying immune function. Effective prevention focuses on maintaining optimal nasal health, managing allergies, and supporting immune system function.
This includes environmental controls, proper nasal hygiene, and addressing any underlying immune deficiencies. Early intervention and consistent follow-up care are essential for preventing complications and maintaining long-term sinus health.
Key Points:
- •Allergy management, environmental controls, and nasal irrigation
- •Immune system support through proper nutrition and vaccination
- •Regular monitoring and specialized care for high-risk patients
