What Is Sinus Allergies Treatment?

This specialized ENT care targets allergic rhinitis, where allergens like pollen or dust mites inflame nasal and sinus linings. Treatments include nasal steroids, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for long-term desensitization, or cryotherapy to neutralize nasal nerve activity. These non-surgical or minimally invasive options reduce symptoms like congestion and post-nasal drip, offering personalized relief for improved sinus health and comfort.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process starts with an allergy assessment, often using tests to identify triggers. Treatments like SLIT involve daily allergen drops under the tongue, while cryotherapy, under local or general anesthesia, targets nasal nerves. Sessions, lasting 15–60 minutes, are tailored to reduce inflammation and symptoms, ensuring a comfortable experience with precise, effective interventions for lasting relief.

What to Expect During Recovery

SLIT requires no recovery, with gradual relief over weeks. Cryotherapy may cause mild nasal soreness or congestion, resolving within 1–3 days. Follow aftercare, such as saline rinses or avoiding allergens. Most patients resume activities immediately, with symptom relief starting within days and full benefits, like clear breathing, developing over months. Follow-ups ensure sustained comfort.
