Thanks for your question. From your description of your symptoms, it sounds like you might be suffering from chronic or recurrent sinusitis. Many patients do indeed find relief from these symptoms through balloon sinus dilation, which opens the sinuses to improve drainage. The procedure is performed in our office as an outpatient procedure and patients are often back to regular activities within about two days. This procedure offers long-lasting results to the right patient, eliminating the ongoing need for medications in many cases. If you decide to pursue this treatment, select a board-certified otolaryngologist with ample experience in the balloon dilation procedure. Best regards for a safe and effective procedure! - Jason J.
