No one likes allergies and the congestion, sneezing, and fatigue they cause. Over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications go only so far and often have unwanted side effects. Fortunately, there is another approach for many people: balloon sinuplasty of Tampa.
Antihistamines, decongestants, and other medications can relieve symptoms such as sneezing and congestion. However, they do not address the underlying reason for allergies and often come with side effects such as headaches, drowsiness, and dry mouth. They can be expensive in the long run, especially for people who take them most days.
Balloon sinuplasty of Tampa is minimally invasive and can greatly help with allergies, chronic sinusitis, and other sinus-related conditions. An ear, nose, and throat doctor inserts a small balloon into patients’ sinus passages and inflates the balloon to widen the passages. Patients enjoy improved airflow and drainage.
Good candidates for balloon sinuplasty include people who have trouble using medications to manage their chronic or recurring sinus infections. Imagine not having to depend on allergy medications every day. Imagine not needing to cough and blow your nose constantly.
Balloon sinuplasty helps mitigate allergy symptoms. When your sinuses are blocked or inflamed due to allergies, the mucus cannot properly drain. Allergens, bacteria, and viruses can accumulate in your passages and increase your risk of sinusitis and more severe allergies.
Balloon sinuplasty of Tampa opens up the sinus passages, offering improved drainage and airflow to reduce inflammation and congestion. Allergy sufferers can breathe more easily after the surgery. In the long term, they get sick with allergies less often and less seriously.
You receive the procedure in your doctor's office instead of a hospital operating room. It takes about an hour. Since the procedure is in a doctor’s office (a lower cost-of-care setting), the portion of the bill you pay may be significantly less than other sinus procedures. The surgery typically is not painful.
After the balloon sinuplasty, you may experience pressure in your sinuses or mild discomfort. It should go away in a few days. Most people resume normal activities and work within a couple of days to a week.
Many people turn to balloon sinuplasty because they are tired of relying on allergy medications to manage their symptoms, or the medications do not really work in the first place. Contact the Meyerson Sinus Center today to discuss relief from your allergies.
