Sinusitis (Sinus Infection) Symptoms and Treatment
Sinusitis is the inflammation of the hollow cavities around the cheek bones, found behind the nose and around the eyes. Although more common in the winter, it can last for months — even years — if not properly treated. Allergy sufferers are also much more likely to develop chronic sinusitis than people without allergies.
Sinusitis symptoms include:
- Facial pressure (especially around upper cheeks and nose)
- Headaches
- Fever
- Postnasal drip and/or green or gray nasal discharge
- Congestion
- Cough
How can allergy drops help?
Sublingual immunotherapy can be helpful for patients with sinusitis who have underlying environmental allergies. By addressing the cause of sinus problems and treating the allergy instead of just temporarily reducing symptoms through OTC medications, allergy sufferers can change the course of their condition.
Research shows that patients treating allergies with sublingual immunotherapy reported fewer sinus infections and complications, including improving outcomes and reducing incidence of sinus surgery.
