Sinus Infection treatment in Monterrey

A paranasal sinus infection, known as sinusitis, is the inflammation of the cavities that surround the nose, frequently caused by infectious agents or by an allergy that makes the normal drainage of mucus difficult.

Common symptoms:

• Nasal congestion and thick discharge
• Pressure or pain in the forehead, cheeks, or around the eyes
• Decreased sense of smell and, at times, upper tooth pain

Common causes: It usually appears after a respiratory illness, from allergies, or from alterations in the nasal structure that obstruct the sinuses.

Which specialist treats it? When the symptoms are related to the oral cavity or facial structures, a dentist or a maxillofacial surgeon may take part in the evaluation. If the discomfort persists, worsens, or recurs, it is worth having it reviewed by a professional to understand its origin and guide the most suitable management.
