Sinusitis Overview

Sinusitis is a common condition that affects millions of people. At Hattiesburg Clinic Ear, Nose & Throat, we provide sinus treatment for patients who battle sinusitis, an infection of the sinuses.

The sinuses are air-filled spaces behind your forehead, cheeks and eyes. In healthy sinuses, mucus drains out and air is able to circulate. If air is not able to circulate, swelling of the sinus area can lead to blockages and prevent mucus from draining properly. Without proper attention, this can lead to an infection.

Sinusitis Treatment

Sinusitis is unique to each patient that experiences it and can vary in severity and scope. We offer the following treatment options for any patient that is experiencing sinusitis.

Medicine
- If you are experiencing minior sinusitis symptoms, treatment can be addressed by self-care or prescribed medicines.
Office balloon sinus dilation
- If you experience multiple sinusitis breakouts in a year, or if your symptoms last three months or longer, you can be treated with a balloon sinus dilation, also known as Balloon Sinuplasty.
Endoscopic sinus surgery
- Endoscopy sinus surgery is an alternative to the Balloon Sinuplasty, and can be used for patients who experience several breakouts in a year or symptoms for three months or longer.
