If you’re lucky, your sinus infection will go away quickly on its own or with minimal over-the-counter treatment. Unfortunately, for people with chronic sinusitis, even if the flare up goes away quickly, it always comes back. In this case, it’s really best to see a specialist for help and put an end to your symptoms once and for all. Because why suffer when you don’t need to?
And that’s where Connecticut Sinus Center comes in. To learn more about what we can do for you, call 860-BALLOON and schedule a consultation at one of our four conveniently-located offices: Kent, Litchfield, Shelton and Waterbury. When you come in, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history before doing anything else. Next, we’ll perform a thorough series of tests to figure what is causing your sinus issues and how we can best treat it without disrupting your lifestyle. You may even be a candidate for balloon sinuplasty, a noninvasive, in-house procedure done with local anesthesia, that can put a permanent end to your sinus suffering. So go ahead and call the doctor, but not just any doctor – our doctor!
