Do You Suffer from Chronic Sinus Infections?

Sinus infections happen when your nasal passages get swollen and blocked, preventing normal drainage. This can lead to trapped bacteria and repeated infections. If you have any of these symptoms, you may need treatment for sinus infections:

 Stuffy or Blocked Nose
 Facial Pain & Pressure
 Headaches
 Thick Nasal Discharge
 Postnasal Drip (Mucus in the Throat)
 Coughing & Sore Throat
 Fatigue & Low Energy
 Fever
 Bad Breath

Even though these symptoms are common with sinus infections, they could be caused by other issues. A board-certified ENT specialist can diagnose the problem and recommend the right sinus treatment for you.

The Best Sinus Infection Treatments

At ENT South, we offer a range of sinus infection treatments to help you find relief. Whether you need a simple solution or a long-term fix, we have options for you:

Home Remedies for Sinus Infections

Mild sinus infections may improve with at-home care. Some effective remedies include:

  • Saline Nasal Rinse – Using a neti pot or saline spray can help flush out mucus and clear nasal passages
  • Steam Therapy – Inhaling steam from a hot shower or bowl of warm water can relieve congestion
  • Hydration – Drinking plenty of fluids helps thin mucus and keep sinuses moist
  • Rest & Sleep – Allowing your body to recover can speed up healing
  • Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers – Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can reduce sinus pressure and pain

While home remedies can help manage mild sinus infections, they may not be enough for chronic or severe cases.

Medications for Sinus Infections

For persistent or moderate sinus infections, medications can provide relief:

  • Antibiotics – If a bacterial infection is present, antibiotics can eliminate the infection.
  • Nasal Sprays – Decongestant and corticosteroid sprays help reduce inflammation and improve drainage
  • Antihistamines & Decongestants – These can help manage sinus issues caused by allergies

If medication provides only temporary relief or if sinus infections keep coming back, you may need a more advanced solution.

Traditional Sinus Surgery

For patients with severe, chronic sinusitis that does not improve with other treatments, traditional sinus surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves removing tissue and bone to create larger sinus openings and improve airflow. While effective, traditional sinus surgery is more invasive and requires a longer recovery time.

Innovative Treatment Options

If you are looking for long-term relief without major surgery, one of the revolutionary, minimally invasive, in-office treatments ENT South offers may be your best option.

Balloon Sinuplasty: A Minimally Invasive Breakthrough

Balloon Sinuplasty is an in-office procedure that gently opens blocked sinuses. A small medical balloon is inserted into the sinus cavity, inflated to widen the passage, and then removed. This restores normal drainage, providing lasting relief from chronic sinusitis. Most patients experience minimal downtime and significant improvement in breathing and sinus health.

RhinAer: Targeting Chronic Runny Nose and Postnasal Drip

RhinAer is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat chronic rhinitis, which can cause a persistent runny nose and postnasal drip. Using radiofrequency energy, RhinAer gently modifies the nasal tissue responsible for excessive mucus production, offering long-term symptom relief without surgery.

VivAer: Improving Nasal Breathing

VivAer is a non-invasive treatment that reshapes nasal tissue to improve airflow and reduce nasal obstruction. If you struggle with constant nasal congestion, snoring, or difficulty breathing, VivAer can provide relief by opening the nasal airways without the need for surgery.
