But Is It Allergies Or A Sinus Problem?
It isn’t always easy to tell the difference between allergies and a sinus infection, which is why an accurate diagnosis by an ENT is always best.
Often times sinus infections can mimic the symptoms of a common cold or allergies, but the treatment is different. Which means you may not find long term relief from common medications.
Allergies and sinus problems can have a huge impact on a person’s quality of life.
And not just those listed above, they can also affect your ability to concentrate, have a negative impact on your sleep, even your production level, and ability to take part in day to day activities.
Creating a treatment plan to prevent these problems starts with a visit to your ENT. It may be an easy solutions, such as removing the source or installing a specific filter in your home. If medication is not effective, there are other alternatives.
