Sinus Infection
Sinus Infection Treatment in Laredo, TX
A sinus infection, also known as Sinusitis, is an inflammation or swelling of the sinuses' tissue lining. When fluid builds, your sinuses can get blocked, allowing germs and bacteria to grow, causing an infection. A previous cold, seasonal allergies, a deviated septum, and a weak immune system can all increase your risk of getting a sinus infection.
If you have a stuffy nose that just isn't getting better, you could indeed have a sinus infection. It can be challenging to determine the difference between a cold, allergies, and a sinus infection, so it is wise to visit a doctor. Dr. Erik Sloman-Moll, MD PA, will ask you questions and do a physical examination checking your ears, nose, and throat to determine if you have a sinus infection and what antibiotics you should take. If you have sinus symptoms, give us a call today or visit our office in Laredo, TX, to schedule an appointment.
