Sinusitis (rhinosinusitis) is a fairly common condition. It occurs when the sinuses and nose becomes blocked and cannot drain. Sinusitis can develop following a cold, upper respiratory infection, or allergic reaction. Environmental irritants, certain medical conditions, and structural abnormalities, such as nasal polyps, a deviated septum, or nasal tumors, can contribute to sinusitis.

 

Sinusitis causes pressure and pain in the head and face. It can also cause nasal congestion, nasal discharge, coughing, fever, and a sore throat. Red River ENT Associates offer a variety of treatments for nasal and sinus problems. Medications, lifestyle modifications, or surgery to correct structural disorders may be recommended. Our surgeons can direct and manage all forms of treatment based on your individual needs.
