Sinus Infection Treatment Options

While acute sinusitis may resolve on its own, that’s not always the case.

If your symptoms keep returning, it may be time to consider an individualized treatment plan focused on addressing your symptoms and supporting your overall well-being. At Columbia Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers, we understand that every individual is unique. That’s why we offer personalized treatment plans based on your specific needs and clinical evaluation. Book your appointment with our dedicated clinical care team.

Providing personalized care, for every stage of life.

Chronic and recurrent sinusitis can prevent you from being able to breathe out of your nose properly and have the energy, sleep, and health you need and deserve. This affects your personal and professional life. A clinical evaluation by an ENT specialist may help identify appropriate treatment options when symptoms are persistent or recurrent.

It's highly recommended to book your appointment with our expert team if you've had multiple sinus infections, your symptoms persist after 10 days, or if you haven't found relief following an initial doctor's visit.

While every sinus infection should be addressed in a timely manner, there are specific symptoms that require immediate medical attention. According to the Mayo Clinic (1), you should see a doctor immediately if you have a serious infection and are experiencing the following symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Swelling, redness around your eyes
  • Headache (severe)
  • Swelling on your forehead
  • Feeling confused
  • Changes in your vision
  • Your neck feels stiff

How Bad Are Your Sinuses?

Evaluate your symptoms to find out if you're a candidate for a procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive option that has helped many patients reduce symptoms of chronic sinusitis—individual results vary.

How to Overcome Chronic or Recurrent Sinusitis with Effective Treatment

Your options for treatment will depend on the type of sinusitis you suffer from (acute, recurrent, chronic, allergic) and what forms of treatment will work best with your body.

W. Andrew Wells, MD, FAAOA has spent almost 30 years helping sinusitis sufferers overcome chronic and recurrent sinus infections with appropriate and effective treatment. Treatment options may include the following:

Balloon Sinuplasty

A minimally invasive, in-office procedure typically completed in about an hour with light sedation. For this procedure, your blocked sinus pathways are opened by carefully inserting a very small balloon catheter into the sinus doorway, inflating it, and then removing it when complete. Procedure time and experience vary by patient. Learn more about Balloon Sinuplasty here!

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

An outpatient surgical procedure in which an ENT removes or reshapes bone and tissue with the goal of opening blocked nasal or sinus passageways. Recovery time and results vary by patient.

Medication

To help alleviate your symptoms, medicine may be prescribed. Medication may help manage symptoms, but for chronic or recurrent sinusitis, your ENT may also discuss procedural options based on your condition and treatment needs.

There are options available! Which one will work best for you? Find out by scheduling an appointment.
