How Do Sinus Infection Symptoms Occur?

Sinusitis, or sinus infections, is a common condition that affects over 30 million Americans. Attempting to treat sinus infections with over-the-counter medication can become quite costly as the results often do not last and require further medication or treatment. Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinus cavities or spaces in the head. The cavities fill with fluid becoming swollen and blocked. The healthy mucus cannot drain correctly from blocked cavities, creating a build-up of mucus, viruses, bacteria, and fungus. The presence of sinusitis swelling can have various causes, including:

  • Viruses & Bacteria — The common cold is a viral infection that targets the nose and throat. The presence of viruses and bacteria in the nasal passage causes swelling, which prevents the flow of mucus.
  • Nasal Polyps — Nasal polyps are growths inside the nasal cavity that can lead to airway blockage. A blocked airway increases the chances of sinus infection symptoms like ear, jaw, and tooth pain.
  • Allergens — Allergies cause inflammation of the nose and sinuses, preventing mucus from adequately draining. Breathing in pollen, mold, and animal dander can lead to sinus symptoms like eye pain.
  • Deviated Septum — The nasal septum separates the nostrils. Displacement of the septum affects airflow and contributes to the development of sinusitis.
  • Weakened Immune System — Your body struggles to fight off viruses and bacteria when your immune system is compromised.

Relief from sinus head pain symptoms such as poor sleep and difficulty breathing is made possible by our ear, nose, and throat experts. The treatments we offer include:

  • LATERA® Nasal Implants — Nasal implants are placed by our professionals inside the lateral wall of the nose. The implants support the inflamed nose cartilage by opening the airway to increase mucus drainage and make it easier for you to breathe. LATERA® is an excellent solution for those who suffer from Nasal Valve Collapse.
  • ClariFix® Cryotherapy — You may have chronic rhinitis if you suffer from a constant runny or stuffy nose. ClariFix® treats the symptoms of chronic rhinitis by freezing the area of your nasal passage that is causing the inflammation. This safe treatment is an effective alternative to nasal sprays and medication.
  • VIVAER® — Radiofrequency technology targets nasal blockages by reshaping the cartilage of your nose. This non-invasive procedure is quick and improves airflow almost immediately.
  • Balloon Sinuplasty — Our experts utilize a small balloon to open the sinus passageway by reshaping the blocked area. This minimally invasive procedure increases the drainage capabilities of your nose to provide lasting relief from chronic sinus infections.
