What is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is a condition that describes swelling of the mucous membranes of the sinuses. This may lead to chronic infections and other issues that require ENT treatment. Over time, fluid is trapped inside the sinuses, creating a perfect environment for bacteria. Some of the reasons that you may develop sinusitis are:

  • Nasal polyps
  • Having a cold
  • Deviated septum
  • Inflammation caused by allergies

  • Blockages in the ducts that drain the sinuses
  • Poor immune systems
  • Anatomical abnormalities inside the nose
  • Growths
  • Inflammation

What Should I Expect from Sinusitis Treatment?

Dr. Ayala performs a comprehensive examination of your nose and sinuses that includes a review of your symptoms. You should prepare for the appointment by listing your symptoms, including their frequency and severity. You may be diagnosed with a specific type of sinusitis.

  • Acute sinusitis
  • Subacute inflammation of the sinuses
