What Is a Sinus Infection?

A sinus infection, or sinusitis, happens when the tissue lining the sinuses becomes swollen or blocked. This can trap mucus and create pressure or pain in the face and head.

Common symptoms include:

  • Nasal congestion or stuffy nose
  • Facial pressure or tenderness
  • Thick nasal drainage
  • Headache or ear fullness
  • Postnasal drip or sore throat
  • Fatigue or trouble sleeping

Sinus infections can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, or structural issues inside the nose. If symptoms last longer than 10 days or keep coming back, it may be a sign of chronic sinusitis that needs professional evaluation.

Diagnosing Sinus Infections at Wright Sinus Choice

At our McAllen office, we start with a careful review of your symptoms and medical history.

Our ENT team may also use:

This is a common type of allergy testing and can help detect immediate allergic reactions.

  • Nasal endoscopy – a gentle, in-office look inside the nasal passages
  • CT imaging – to see if sinus blockage or inflammation is present
  • Allergy testing – to identify triggers that may be contributing to ongoing sinus problems

This thorough approach helps us understand what’s happening in your sinuses and develop a plan that’s tailored to your needs.

Treatment Options for Sinus Infections

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:

  • Medication management – antibiotics (if bacterial infection is confirmed), saline rinses, or nasal corticosteroids to reduce swelling
  • Allergy control – addressing allergic triggers to reduce sinus inflammation
  • In-office procedures – such as balloon sinuplasty, which may help some individuals open blocked sinus passages and improve drainage
  • Lifestyle and environmental guidance – to minimize exposure to irritants like dust, mold, or pollen common in South Texas

Our goal is to offer safe, effective treatment options that may help manage sinus symptoms and improve comfort — right here in McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley.
