Sinusitis & Sinuses
Breathe freely again: specialized care for sinusitis and facial pressure
Dr. Karla Sanz evaluates the nose and sinuses to determine if your symptoms are caused by allergies, chronic inflammation, polyps, or structural blockages, defining the right medical or surgical path.
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.
