🌍 Today is World Sinus Health Awareness Day! In honor of this observance, here are some interesting facts you might not know:

πŸ”Ή Sinusitis affects about 1 in 8 adults annually and generally occurs when viruses or bacteria infect the sinuses.

πŸ”Ή Mucus moistens and cleans the nasal lining, moistens air, traps and clears what is inhaled, and helps fight infection.

πŸ‘ƒ At our care centers, experienced ENT specialists treat a wide range of sinus-related conditions with expert care.

Hydrogen peroxide can be helpful when used correctly, especially for:

βœ”οΈ Mild earwax buildup – like a feeling of fullness or slight hearing loss
βœ”οΈ Routine ear cleaning – if you're prone to excess wax
βœ”οΈ After swimming – helps dry out moisture & may reduce swimmer’s ear risk

🚫 When to avoid hydrogen peroxide in your ears:

βœ–οΈ Ear pain or suspected infection – could worsen irritation
βœ–οΈ History of a perforated eardrum – risk of inner ear damage
βœ–οΈ Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) – may make symptoms worse
βœ–οΈ Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis) – can cause more dryness or inflammation

When in doubt, always check with a medical provider before using ear drops! πŸ‘‚πŸ’§πŸ©Ί

It's National Immunization Awareness Month πŸ’‰πŸ›‘οΈ

Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent life-threatening illnesses. They work by strengthening your body’s natural immune response to harmful viruses and bacteria, helping protect you, your family, and your community.

Whether it’s routine childhood vaccines, seasonal flu shots, or immunizations for adults, staying up to date is key to long-term health.

πŸ“š Learn more about vaccines and recommended schedules on the CDC’s website: cdc.gov/vaccines

Swimmer’s ear occurs when excess moisture in the ear canal causes irritation and breakdown of the skin, allowing bacteria or fungi to enter. The external auditory canal is a warm, dark environment, ideal for microbial growth. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and infection. πŸ”΄πŸ‘‚

βœ… Treatment typically involves antibiotic ear drops, which deliver a high concentration of antimicrobial agents directly to the infected tissue. If the infection is fungal, antifungal ear drops may be prescribed instead.

πŸ›‘οΈ Use earplugs when swimming and dry the outer ears thoroughly to help reduce your risk.

What Is a Deviated Septum and How Do You Know If You Have One?

A deviated septum occurs when the wall between your nasal passages is off-center, which can lead to symptoms such as:

πŸ”Ή Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
πŸ”Ή Persistent nasal congestion
πŸ”Ή Frequent nosebleeds
πŸ”Ή Snoring or noisy breathing during sleep
πŸ”Ή Facial pressure or recurring sinus infections

An ENT specialist can examine your nasal passages to determine if a deviated septum is present.

In some cases, treatment may include medications to manage symptoms. When symptoms are more severe, a surgical procedure called septoplasty may be recommended to straighten the septum and improve airflow.
