Sinusitis & Nasal Polyps

Chronic sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, that is commonly associated with nasal polyps and typically lasts more than 12 weeks. Nasal polyps, that swell and get larger, start to cause nasal blockages. Symptoms of this condition can present as anything from sinus pain and nose stuffiness to loss of smell. Treatment may include nasal and oral medications, biologic injections, or surgery. Working with a specialist can help you find the treatment you need for lasting relief.
