Surgery For Allergy

Most permanent allergy patients receive functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) or a balloon sinuplasty. FESS is done by inserting an endoscope into the nose to find the source of the blockage. The procedure can remove significant blockages caused by bone spurs or polyps.

f your allergies have contributed to sinusitis, a procedure like a balloon sinusplasty may provide relief. It opens up the sinus passage so that any fluid in your sinuses can properly drain. It reduces symptoms such as pressure behind the eyes, pain in the teeth and headaches.

Treatment for Allergies

ntihistamines block histamine, a trigger of allergic swelling. They can calm sneezing, itching, runny nose and hives. They come in pills, liquids, melting tablets or nose sprays. These treat seasonal and indoor allergies.
