Sinus/Sinusitis Treatment

When is a simple ear infection not so simple? When they’re a more chronic condition caused by allergies or sinus issues. Allergies and poor sinus drainage can “congest” your ear canals, causing fluid to build up and become infected.

Sinus headaches and migraines have both been linked to allergies, but depending on their root cause, have different triggers and require different treatment. Allergy headaches have pain localized over the sinus areas, causing facial pain instead of headache. Migraines are more commonly associated with throbbing on one side of the head or face. These can both be triggered by sinus congestion. Sinus headaches occur when the sinus cavities are swollen, and their openings into the nasal passages are obstructed, causing pressure to build up.

Nasal polyps are benign growths on the lining of the nose. They aren’t easily treated with over the counter medication, and are triggered by chronic sinus infections, asthma or allergic rhinitis. Symptoms of nasal polyps include nasal obstruction, runny nose, postnasal drip, persistent congestion, reduced sense of smell, pressure in the forehead or face or snoring.

Sinusitis is the swelling or inflammation of the tissue lining the sinus cavities. This occurs when the sinuses, or cavities in your head and face, don’t drain normally. When a sinus cavity becomes infected, it can be painful, causing headaches, fatigue, fever, congestion, and drainage.
