When to seek a nasal and sinus evaluation
Nasal symptoms persisting for more than two weeks or recurring frequently warrant a specialist evaluation to prevent complications and restore your quality of life.
Persistent blocked nose
Constant difficulty breathing in air through one or both nostrils, forcing you to breathe through your mouth.
Facial pressure or pain
A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the forehead, cheeks, or behind the eyes that worsens when bending forward.
Thick mucus and post-nasal drip
Discharge of thick clear, yellow, or greenish mucus, and a constant feeling of phlegm dripping down your throat.
Loss of smell or suspected polyps
A decreased sense of smell (hyposmia) or a sensation of a physical blockage inside your nose.
An accurate diagnosis is the first step to clearing your sinuses
A stuffy nose and facial pressure can have multiple causes: allergic rhinitis, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal septum deviation (which can be corrected via functional rhinoplasty), nasal polyps, or sinusitis.
Therefore, before relying on repeated over-the-counter medications, Dr. Karla Sanz performs a specialized ENT evaluation to identify the actual root cause of your congestion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sinusitis
Answers about the service and your in-person medical evaluation.
How do I know if I have common sinusitis or chronic sinusitis?
Common sinusitis typically lasts a few days and resolves with general care. If you experience persistent congestion, facial pressure, thick mucus, and loss of smell for more than 12 weeks (or repeated episodes throughout the year), chronic sinusitis is suspected and requires medical evaluation.
Do all sinus infections require antibiotics?
No. Many sinus infections are caused by viruses or allergic inflammation (allergic rhinitis), where antibiotics have no effect. Antibiotic use is only indicated if the specialist identifies an active bacterial infection during the evaluation.
When is sinus surgery recommended?
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is considered for patients with persistent chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or physical anatomical blockages that fail to improve with medical treatment (nasal sprays, washes, allergy meds) and whose CT scan confirms persistent sinus blockage.
How much does sinus surgery cost in Guadalajara?
Sinus surgery starts from $65,000 MXN when clinically indicated. This cost is approximate and varies based on complexity, chosen hospital, type of anesthesia, and whether it is combined with other procedures like septoplasty.
