Walk-In Sinus Infection Treatment in Somers, NY
PhysicianOne Urgent Care proudly offers walk-in sinus infection treatment for Somers, New York, residents and visitors. If you’ve been feeling under the weather with pain and pressure around your eyes, cheekbones, and upper jaw, you may have a sinus infection (also referred to as “acute sinusitis” or “rhinosinusitis”). In addition to the symptoms of a common cold, sinus infections can also cause thick yellow or green discharge, bad breath, and a decreased sense of smell and taste.
At-Home Sinus Infection Remedies
In many cases, sinus infections get better without any professional treatment. If you’re dealing with a sinus infection, the following tips may help relieve your symptoms until your infection goes away:
- Use a saline nasal spray or a neti pot filled with saline.
- Breathe in steam during a hot shower.
- Use a humidifier, especially during the night.
- Drink lots of water.
- Apply warm compresses to your face.
- Use an over-the-counter decongestant or pain medication.
In some instances, however, sinusitis treatment may require a visit to the doctor. If your sinus infection has lasted longer than seven to 10 days, or if you’re experiencing a fever greater than 101 degrees, you should seek treatment from a professional. Some sinus infections—such as those caused by bacteria—may require antibiotics. An experienced medical provider will be able to recommend a course of treatment suited to your specific needs.
