More about Sinusitis

Sinusitis can be caused by bacteria or a fungal infection, resulting in inflammation of your sinuses. Some of the most common symptoms of sinusitis include:

• Chronic coughing or sneezing
• Pain and pressure around and behind your eyes
• Chronic headaches or fever
• Discomfort and irritation in your nasal passages
• Green or yellow discharge from your nose
• Stuffiness and difficulty breathing through your nose

If you are suffering from sinusitis, there are some simple tricks like these that you can try at home:

• Irrigating your nasal passages with saline solution, for this helps to clean your nasal passages and keep them open. You can buy nasal irrigation kits over the counter.
• Using a humidifier in your house, especially your bedroom, for humidifiers keep the air moist, which can soothe your sinuses. Dry air can make sinus problems worse.
• Taking over-the-counter decongestants including topical nasal sprays, and mucus-thinning medications to open nasal passages and help clear up mucus.

If you have stubborn sinusitis symptoms that aren’t going away, it’s time to visit our Brooklyn office. We offer several effective sinusitis treatments, such as:

• Prescription-strength decongestants, antihistamines, and antibiotics
• Allergy testing and treatment for allergy-related sinusitis
• Nasal or oral corticosteroids to reduce or eliminate sinus inflammation
• Surgery in severe cases that involve structural abnormalities in your nasal passages or sinuses
