Chronic Sinus Infections

A chronic sinus infection happens when your sinuses—air-filled spaces behind your nose, cheeks, and eyes—stay swollen and inflamed for 12 weeks or longer, despite treatment attempts. This condition can cause uncomfortable symptoms that affect your daily life and may be linked to allergies or other health issues.

Common Symptoms

Symptoms of chronic sinusitis often resemble those of a common cold, but they persist much longer, typically lasting for 12 weeks or more. Common signs include nasal congestion, thick, discolored mucus draining from the nose or down the back of the throat (postnasal drip), and facial pain, pressure, or a feeling of fullness, especially around the eyes, forehead, or cheeks. Other symptoms can include a loss of smell or taste, headaches or tooth pain, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. Additionally, bad breath (halitosis) may develop. If
Why Allergy Testing Matters at All Star Spine Center

You might wonder; what do allergies have to do with non-surgical orthopedic care? More than you think. Allergies, whether seasonal, environmental, or food-related, can trigger widespread inflammation in the body. This inflammation doesn’t just cause the typical sneezing or itching, it can also worsen joint pain, muscle stiffness, and other orthopedic conditions. For many patients, undiagnosed allergies contribute to chronic inflammation that slows healing and exacerbates pain. By identifying and addressing these hidden triggers through allergy testing, we take a whole-body approach to your care, helping reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support lasting relief.

How Is It Diagnosed?

Your doctor will look at your medical history, perform a physical exam, and may recommend:

  • Nasal endoscopy – a small camera is used to look inside your sinuses
  • Imaging (CT scan) – provides detailed pictures of your sinuses
  • Allergy testing – to check if allergies are contributing to the condition
  • Sinus culture – may be used to identify bacterial or fungal infections

Treatment Options

Chronic sinus infections often require a combination of treatments tailored to the underlying cause. Medications are commonly used to address symptoms and reduce inflammation. Nasal corticosteroid sprays can help decrease swelling in the nasal passages, while saline nasal rinses are effective for clearing mucus and allergens from the sinuses. If a bacterial infection is present, antibiotics may be prescribed. For sinus infections related to allergies, decongestants or antihistamines can provide relief. In cases of severe inflammation, oral or injected steroids may be necessary. Other treatments include allergy management, such as Immunotherapy or AIT, which can help reduce allergic reactions that contribute to sinus issues. In more severe cases, surgery, like endoscopic sinus surgery, may be required to remove blockages or polyps that are preventing normal sinus drainage when other treatments fail to provide relief.
