Allergy & Immunology

Chronic sinusitis & allergy

Long-standing sinus inflammation often has an allergic component that needs addressing alongside the sinus symptoms themselves.

Common symptoms

  • Nasal congestion lasting weeks
  • Facial pressure or pain
  • Reduced sense of smell
  • Symptoms worse around specific triggers

What it involves

Allergy testing to identify triggers, combined with medication to manage both the allergy and sinus inflammation.

What to expect

Addressing the underlying allergy often improves sinus symptoms that medication alone hadn't fully resolved.
