Are You Experiencing Recurring Sinus Infections? #Infographic

Are you one of the millions of Americans experiencing sinus infections each year? With the most common cause of sinusitis being a viral infection from the common cold, it’s no surprise that so many people are at risk. Thankfully, for most Atlanta patients, sinus issues usually clear up with some self-care and rest. But what if your allergies are triggering sinus infections and they keep coming back?

Why Are Allergies a Leading Cause of Sinusitis?

The sinuses are interconnected cavities in the head that produce mucus. This mucus drains out of the nose to remove bacteria and prevent infections. However, when an individual comes into contact with allergens, they may experience nasal and sinus inflammation that prevents the mucus from draining. When normal drainage is interrupted, sinuses can become infected and a person may feel throbbing pain and discomfort.

What Allergies Cause Sinusitis?

Breathing in various substances may cause allergy symptoms, and in response the sinuses become swollen. Seasonal allergies to tree, grass and weed pollen are very common, along with dust mites, mold and animal dander. Some people may also experience sensitivity or allergies to chemicals and pollutants.

Avoiding these allergens can be difficult, and many people will not identify the cause of their sinusitis. And while the best sinusitis treatments can relieve much of the pain and congestion, allergic sinusitis will persist as long as your body is reacting to the allergens. This is why the optimal approach for long-term relief is to first identify the root cause of the problem – and use a targeted treatment.

How an Allergy Doctor Can Help With Recurring Sinusitis

A precise diagnosis is central to treating sinusitis caused by allergies. To make this diagnosis, allergy doctors discuss common sinusitis symptoms, examine a patient’s medical history, as well as perform allergy testing, including skin prick or blood tests. With access to detailed diagnostic information your allergist can develop a treatment plan that may include immunotherapy, corticosteroids, nasal decongestants and other targeted remedies.
