Frequently asked questions
What's usually causing ongoing sinus congestion?
Allergies and viruses are the most common causes — your clinician can help sort out which one fits your symptoms. Your clinician will ask about how long symptoms have lasted and whether they follow a seasonal pattern.
How can I tell if it's allergies or a sinus infection?
Itchy eyes and sneezing point more toward allergies, while facial pain and thick, discolored discharge point more toward a sinus infection needing different treatment. Your clinician can help you sort out which pattern best matches what you're experiencing.
When does congestion need more than home care?
Symptoms lasting more than 10 days, a high fever, or facial swelling are reasons to be seen rather than continuing to self-treat at home. Your clinician can help determine if your symptoms have crossed into needing further evaluation.
What can help right away?
Saline rinses, steam, and staying well hydrated can help thin mucus and relieve pressure alongside anything else your clinician specifically recommends for you. A warm shower can also help loosen congestion and provide some quick relief.
What side effects are associated with congestion treatments?
Decongestants can raise heart rate or disrupt sleep with extended use; antihistamines, if allergies are the cause, can cause drowsiness. Your clinician will pick an option based on what's actually driving your specific congestion.
