Walk-In Sinus Infection Treatment in Enfield, CT

A sinus infection is a painful condition, characterized by such symptoms as nasal congestion, runny nose, headaches, coughing, facial pain and pressure, and sometimes fever. While most sinus infections get better on their own, if your symptoms have persisted for 10 days or longer or are accompanied by a fever of 101 degrees or higher, you should come to PhysicianOne Urgent Care in Enfield, Connecticut, for prompt sinus infection treatment. We are open seven days per week with extended hours, and you’ll always be seen by an experienced practitioner.

What Is Sinusitis?

A sinus infection, also called sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses. The sinuses are air-filled cavities located behind the forehead, in the bony structures of the cheeks, between the eyes, and in the bones behind the nose. When the sinuses are clear and functioning normally, they sweep mucus, dust, and germs down the back of the throat to be deposited into the stomach. However, inflamed sinuses have swollen nasal tissues that will block mucus and not allow it to continue through the body. This results in congested sinuses, facial pain, headaches, and more.

Sinus Infection Treatment at PhysicianOne Urgent Care

When you visit our urgent care center for sinus infection treatment, you’ll be evaluated by one of our practitioners who will learn about your symptoms and conduct a physical exam. He or she will likely use an otoscope to examine your nasal canal and ears to determine if swelling, congestion, or infection is present. Your treatment plan will be highly individualized based on your symptoms, but may include antibiotics if you have a bacterial sinus infection.
