Allergy & Sinus Disorders
About the disease & condition
Allergy and sinus disorders occur when the immune system overreacts to allergens, causing inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses. Common conditions include allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and nasal polyps. Symptoms can range from mild nasal congestion to severe headaches and facial pain. Environmental triggers like pollen, dust, and pet dander often worsen the condition. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to prevent complications, improve breathing, and enhance quality of life. Treatments may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
