Wondering if a sinus infection requires antibiotics? Many sinus infections are caused by a virus, which means antibiotics may not help.

Guidelines suggest checking your symptom pattern. If you’ve been sick fewer than 10 days and symptoms aren’t getting worse, it’s likely viral. If symptoms worsen over 10 days or improve and then go downhill, it’s more likely bacterial and may need antibiotics.

If you’re not sure where you fall, an ENT visit can help you get the right treatment.

Duration matters for sinus symptoms that come and go. Acute sinusitis lasts less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis persists for 12 weeks or longer and can’t be diagnosed solely by symptoms. A doctor must confirm nose and sinus inflammation using scopes to look up the nose to make the diagnosis.

If you’re still congested weeks after you expect to feel better, it’s time to schedule an ENT evaluation. Give us a call!

Nasal polyps can come back, even after treatment. To lower the risk, pay attention to symptoms that last more than 10 days (like frequent sneezing, a runny nose, nasal blockage or fullness), and take medications exactly as directed if your ENT prescribes them.

Using a humidifier can also help reduce irritation from cold or dry air, and nasal saline spray can help keep passages clear.

Nosebleeds happen when blood vessels in the nose break, and while they’re usually brief, they can be frustrating. Common triggers include colds and sinus irritants, dry air (cracking in the nasal lining) and nose scratching.

Using a humidifier or saline nasal gels, and staying hydrated, can help when dryness is the culprit. Seek prompt medical attention if nosebleeds happen often, last longer than 20 minutes, cause breathing difficulty or follow a facial injury.

Fun fact: our own earwax can tell us several things about our ear and hearing health!

For instance, earwax that is dark brown with red may indicate a bleeding injury, such as an ear canal injury or ruptured eardrum. A visit to an ENT can help treat these conditions.
