Sinus Care
ENT physicians (otolaryngologists) have a broad range of experience to provide care for everything from nasal congestion and sinus infections or sinusitis, to a deviated septum or broken nose — including plastic and reconstructive surgery.
When over-the-counter medications such as decongestants or nasal sprays are not adequately clearing up sinus symptoms, you may need to see an ENT physician for further treatment. Whether you're dealing with a sinus infection or chronic sinusitis, which causes frequently blocked nasal passages, thick mucus and occasional headaches or more severe symptoms, or a condition like allergic rhinitis (hay fever), ENT physicians offer a range of information and treatment.
ENT doctors provide a variety of sinus treatments, including the following surgical procedures at Northwest Health:
