Chronic sinusitis is a common condition where the sinuses, which are the cavities around the nasal passages, become inflamed and swollen for at least 12 weeks despite treatment attempts. Dr. Jamie Sisk at Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgical Clinic in Laurel explains that a few signs and symptoms are facial pressure, persistent nasal congestion, post nasal drainage, sore throat, and headaches. Those who have a chronic problem and take medicine for this several times a year should be evaluated. Those who need surgery have many options including balloon sinuplasty which requires no cutting or removal of bone or tissue, and can be performed in the clinic. For those who suffer with chronic sinus issues, schedule a consultation at Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgical Clinic in Laurel.
