The Allergy-Sinus Connection

Allergic rhinitis inflames nasal passages, blocking sinus drainage → pressure, congestion, post-nasal drip. Many treat symptoms alone, but without addressing allergies, inflammation persists.

✅ Effective Management

• Start nasal steroid sprays before allergy season
• Daily saline rinses flush allergens
• Antihistamines for breakthrough symptoms

See an ENT if: Symptoms last >12 weeks (possible chronic sinusitis).
