Sinus Infection Treatment in New Jersey
Find Lasting Relief From Sinus Pressure, Pain, and Fatigue
What Is Sinusitis?
Sinusitis occurs when the air-filled cavities around your nose become inflamed or blocked—usually due to swelling, infection, or structural issues. It may begin with a cold or allergies but can quickly evolve into something more persistent.
Common causes of sinus infections include:
- Viral or bacterial infections
- Allergies or environmental irritants
- Structural issues like a deviated septum
- Chronic inflammation (rhinosinusitis)
If symptoms linger beyond 10 days or return frequently, it may be time to see a specialist.
Symptoms to Watch For
Everyone experiences sinus infections differently, but these are the most common signs:
- Nasal congestion or stuffiness
- Facial pain or pressure (especially around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead)
- Thick nasal discharge (yellow or green)
- Postnasal drip and coughing
- Fatigue or trouble concentrating
- Ear pain or headaches
- Fever or bad breath in some cases
Persistent symptoms can impact your energy, sleep, and quality of life—especially when sinusitis becomes chronic.
First-Line Treatments and Home Remedies
For mild or short-term infections, first-line therapies may offer enough relief:
- Saline rinses or nasal sprays
- Over-the-counter decongestants (used short-term)
- Warm compresses or humidifiers
- Staying hydrated and resting
If symptoms don’t improve—or if infections are recurring—more targeted treatments may be needed.
In-Office Treatment Options: Balloon Sinuplasty
When medications and home care aren’t enough, our team may recommend balloon sinuplasty (also called balloon sinus dilation). This minimally invasive, in-office procedure can restore proper drainage in the sinuses without incisions or tissue removal.
How It Works:
- A small balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus opening
- The balloon is gently inflated to widen the passage
- Drainage improves, pressure reduces, and airflow is restored
Key Benefits:
- Performed under local anesthesia in the office
- Minimal downtime (most return to regular activity within 1–2 days)
- Clinically proven to provide long-term symptom relief for many patients with chronic sinusitis
- A multicenter study reported that 95% of patients experienced significant symptom improvement at an average follow-up of nine months after undergoing balloon sinuplasty.¹
