Could your symptoms be caused by sinusitis? Here are a few things you need to know about sinus infections.
Are facial pressure, coughing, and nasal discharge making you miserable? You may be suffering from sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection. When dealing with a sinus infection, you can be left feeling drained, and without the energy, you need to have a good day and complete normal tasks.
If you do have a sinus infection, don’t ignore it. Your long-term health and happiness may be in jeopardy. You owe it to yourself to have answers about what is going on in your body, and more importantly, why it’s happening.
Discover what’s causing your symptoms and how to find relief by scheduling an appointment with the professional Otolaryngology team at CT-ENT, with offices in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Your face houses a system of hollow “cavities,” which are your sinuses, located near your cheekbones and lower forehead. Your sinuses contain mucus and work to moisten the air that you breathe and flush out bacteria. These cavities can become blocked and inflamed, causing sinusitis (a sinus infection).
When your sinuses are inflamed and blocked, this can lead to a variety of symptoms that include: fever, feeling overly tired, having trouble breathing, difficulty sleeping, and general congestion.
What Type of Sinusitis Are You Suffering From?
An Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor can determine what is going on in your sinuses and walk you through how to minimize or eliminate your symptoms. Based on your symptoms and the extent of your sinus infection, you may have one of the following forms of sinusitis:
- Acute: The least severe and most common form of sinusitis. Acute sinusitis can appear as a cold and comes and goes without returning frequently. An acute sinus infection lasts under three-four weeks.
- Recurrent acute: Suffering from three or more acute sinus infections in a given year is considered recurrent acute sinusitis. If this is the case for you, there is likely an underlying health issue at work.
- Chronic: Symptoms persist for over 12-weeks, even up to a year. Chronic sinusitis is not resolved with medication, and you will likely need to see a permanent solution.
- Allergic: Sinusitis induced from common allergens.
- Pansinusitis: Acute or chronic sinusitis that results when all your paranasal sinuses are inflamed or obstructed.

After seeing their many ads I convinced Dad to "just have a hearing test." I wish he could use the computer himself to say how sorry he was to have waited so long to get help. This is a wonderful group, and it is easy to see that they truly care about us and enjoy what they do, which is help people hear again. Definitely recommend!

I am now able to breathe normally at 100% for the first time in 12 years! On top of that, cosmetically my nose, after having to be re-broken during the procedure looks natural, like it looked before it broke in my accident 12 years ago! Highly recommend if you are having breathing issues due to your nose. You will indeed be a changed person. Staff is awesome, also extremely friendly and welcoming.

I'm cured! Thanks, Dr. Weiss, Michelle, Lisa, and everyone else. I recovered quickly from surgery, and my allergies are clearing up. Feeling great!

If you have any difficulty breathing through your nose or any difficulty with your nose in general, look no further than Dr. Weiss. Dr. Weiss did my surgery on October 5, 2016, which was not as big a deal as I anticipated. Now I can breathe like I've never been able to breathe before. It was the greatest sensation to be able to breathe through my nose. Thank you Dr Weiss for doing an excellent, fantastic, outstanding job.

I am so grateful for this practice! For years and years, I suffered terribly from severe sinus infections brought on by every single little cold I'd catch. Dr. Weiss took the conservative approach with the balloon surgery to expand the access to and from the sinuses. This was painless and required no recovery time...It has been life changing. Dr. Weiss is a caring and skilled doctor to whom I'm grateful for giving me a much better quality of life. The practice, all of the staff members, are caring and fun, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

I wish I could give 10 stars! Our experience could not have been better! Thank you guys, for all the time you took to make my little man hear again. Now he can hear me when I tell him I love him.
