Sinusitis Treatment:

Our Providers Approach to Medical Therapy

At Midwest Sinus Sleep & Allergy Associates, we follow the established clinical guidelines for treating sinusitis. Our first line treatment is medical therapy – which may include a range of medications designed to address your particular illness and symptoms. Depending on your needs, Midwest Sinus Sleep & Allergy Associates may recommend:

Nasal Steroids for Treatment of Sinusitis

Nasal steroid sprays can decrease the swelling in the mucous membrane lining of the sinuses and help to both treat AND prevent sinus infections. Some of our patients are reluctant to take medications containing steroids, as they can have side effects when taken over a longer period of time. You can find out more about steroid sprays in the package insert or discuss possible side effects during your ENT specialist visit.

Antibiotics and sinusitis

If sinus inflammation has led to the development of a bacterial infection, we may prescribe antibiotics to deal with symptoms related to that infection.

Decongestant nasal drops

Decongestant nose drops or nasal sprays aim to soothe the mucous membranes and reduce swelling. This may make it easier to breathe through your nose.
