Sinusitis is a widespread condition affecting 37 million Americans. This inflammation of the sinuses occurs when the sinus opening becomes blocked, preventing mucus from draining properly. It causes cold-like symptoms that include congestion, runny nose, sore throat, facial pain and swelling, loss of smell or taste, bad breath, fatigue and headache.
Treatments include:
- Medication
- Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
- Image guided surgery
- Balloon Sinuplasty
- Septoplasty
- Turbinate surgery
