Sinus Issues and How We Can Help South Florida ENT Associates

Don’t let sinus problems affect your daily routine. Let us help you find the relief you want.

If you feel like your life seems to stop the moment sinus issues kick in then our Pembroke Pines, FL, otolaryngologists Dr. Craig Shapiro and Dr. Sina Joorabchi are here to the rescue. We know that everything from allergies to sinus infections to certain disorders can make it difficult to breathe easier. We want to help you change that.

Common causes of sinus blockages, pain and pressure include:

  • A deviated septum (when the wall that separates the two nostrils is crooked, which can affect breathing)
  • Respiratory infections
  • Allergies (e.g. hay fever)
  • Sinus infections (sinusitis)
  • Nasal polyps

While a sinus infection or respiratory infection will usually go away on its own without treatment there are times when you will want to turn to our ENT specialist in Pembroke Pines, FL, for care. If you are dealing with nasal discharge, facial pain and pressure, a nasal blockage or sinus congestion that isn’t responding to at-home care, that lasts more than one week or keeps returning then it’s time to schedule an appointment with us.

Many people can handle mild allergy symptoms with over-the-counter medications; however, if your symptoms are severe or persistent we can recommend stronger medications, nasal sprays and even eye drops to help tame your allergy symptoms, whether you are dealing with nasal congestion, itchy eyes or blocked sinuses.

Conditions like a deviated septum or nasal polyps won’t go away on their own. If polyps become too large or cause serious symptoms, or if the deviated septum is affecting your breathing then the only option may be minor surgery to correct the deformity or to remove the polyps. Of course, it’s important to understand that polyps may return over time even after surgery.

Breathe a big sigh of relief when you turn to the ENT and sinus specialists at Broward Center for Ear, Nose, Throat & Allergy in Pembroke Pines, FL.
