Still feeling congested after a week? Persistent sinus infections can sometimes signal something more serious. Learn more in this article from Cleveland Clinic.

It's rare, but an untreated sinus infection can turn into a serious problem. Here’s how long they typically take to clear up and what can happen if they stick around too long.

Antibiotics aren’t a fix-all. When there’s no yellow-green discharge or facial pain, your congestion probably isn’t caused by infection; it’s inflammation. And antibiotics won’t do anything for that. Chronic inflammation requires a different approach, not another round of meds that won’t touch the root issue.

If you’re stuck in a cycle of congestion with no relief, it’s time to connect with Dr. Cohen and get the right treatment.

That stuffy nose in the morning that won’t go away could be your body reacting to allergens, irritants, or hormonal shifts while you sleep. Dust mites in your bedding, pet dander, acid reflux, or poor air circulation can all cause inflammation overnight, making you wake up congested.

If your congestion isn’t clearing up on its own, Dr. Cohen can help you figure out what’s behind it and what to do next.

Many people assume allergies are something you grow out of, but that’s not always the case. Shifts in your environment, lifestyle, or immune system may trigger new symptoms even if you've never had issues before.

🤧 If your nose has been extra congested or irritated lately, seasonal allergies might be playing a role.

People with asthma or environmental allergies are more likely to develop nasal polyps, which are noncancerous growths that can block airflow, dull your sense of smell, and lead to ongoing sinus symptoms. If you’re constantly congested or feeling pressure that doesn’t let up, it may be time for a closer look. 👀
