Diagnosing Your Sinus Problem We understand that in order to successfully treat sinus problems,there are three Structure. Utilizing on-site CT scanning, we determine if the bone structure of your sinus is the cause of your sinus problems. If this is the case, surgery or balloon sinuplasty is the recommended course of action. Allergy. An allergy test may be conducted in our office to determine if external variables are the cause of your sinus problems. Treatment may be avoidance of the allergy-inducing stimulus, medication, or shots. Infection. By conducting lab testing and cultures, we can determine whether you require anti-microbials or immune deficiency supplementation to treat your sinus problems. Information on Allergy, Sinus Conditions and Treatment Options
AllergyAllergy is a form of hypersensitivity that triggers an inflammatory response to normally harmless environmental substances. It is associated with many disorders such as chronic sinusitis, post-nasal drip, and asthma. An ENT allergist combines the expertise of sinus anatomy with the study of allergies, leading to more effective outcomes for the patient. There are several types of allergy tests that can determine if your condition is the result of an allergic reaction. One method is the skin-prick method, where a small amount of the suspected allergen is placed on the skin; this method usually leaves patients very itchy and sometimes cannot be performed if the patient is on allergy medicine, has a rash, or active asthma. We offer the less-invasive blood testing method on-site. Our blood-based allergy test screens for 26 common food allergies and 36 environmental allergies, and results are usually available within a few days. Allergy treatments include avoidance of allergens, medical therapy, immunotherapy, and dietary modification. Surgical procedures such as polyp removal, inferior turbinate reductions, sinus irrigation, and straightening of the nasal septum can increase the effectiveness of allergy treatment.
