Chronic Sinusitis

Sinus pressure and congestion that keeps coming back — evaluated at Remix Medical in Houston, including allergy testing to find the underlying trigger.

Signs & symptoms

Signs and symptoms to watch for

  • Facial pressure or pain
  • Nasal congestion
  • Thick nasal discharge
  • Reduced sense of smell

When to see a specialist

Should you see a specialist?

Consider evaluation if sinus symptoms last more than twelve weeks, if you have had more than three or four sinus infections in a year, or if antibiotics help only temporarily before symptoms return. Repeat infections usually point to an underlying cause rather than bad luck.
