Sinus Drainage Treatment

Sinus Drainage Treatment is essential for individuals suffering from persistent sinus congestion, postnasal drip, or difficulty clearing mucus. When the sinuses do not drain properly, it can lead to discomfort, sinus infections, and breathing issues. Our board-certified ENT physician provides expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options to restore normal sinus function and improve your quality of life.

Sinus Drainage Overview

What Is Sinus Drainage?

Sinus drainage is the process by which mucus flows naturally from the sinuses into the nasal passages. Healthy drainage helps clear allergens, bacteria, and debris from the sinuses. When this process is disrupted due to inflammation, infection, or structural issues, mucus builds up, leading to congestion, sinus pressure, and frequent infections.

Common Causes:

  • Sinus Infections (Sinusitis): Inflammation from bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can cause mucus buildup.

  • Allergies: Allergic reactions trigger inflammation, leading to increased mucus production and congestion.

  • Deviated Septum: A misaligned nasal septum can obstruct sinus drainage.

  • Nasal Polyps: Small, non-cancerous growths can block sinus openings.

  • Chronic Inflammation: Persistent irritation from smoke, pollution, or other environmental factors can lead to poor drainage.

  • Structural Abnormalities: Narrow sinus passages or past nasal surgeries may contribute to drainage issues.

When to Seek Professional Treatment

If you experience these symptoms for more than 10 days or have recurring sinus infections, professional Sinus Drainage Treatment may be necessary.

Diagnostic Procedures:

  • Nasal Endoscopy: A small, flexible camera is inserted into the nasal passages to examine sinus structures.

  • CT Scan: Provides detailed imaging to detect blockages, inflammation, or structural abnormalities.

  • Allergy Testing: Determines if allergies are contributing to sinus drainage problems.

  • Sinus Culture: Lab testing may be used to identify bacterial infections affecting mucus drainage.
