Sinus Infection (Sinusitis) Evaluation & Treatment

At EZMED, we provide same-day evaluation and treatment for sinus infections, helping you feel better faster.

What Is a Sinus Infection?

A sinus infection occurs when the sinus cavities become inflamed and filled with mucus, often following a cold, allergies, or upper respiratory infection. This blockage allows bacteria or viruses to grow, leading to uncomfortable symptoms.

Sinus infections can be:

  • Acute (lasting less than 4 weeks)

  • Subacute (4–12 weeks)

  • Chronic (lasting longer than 12 weeks)

Common Symptoms of a Sinus Infection

You may have a sinus infection if you experience:

  • Facial pain or pressure (forehead, cheeks, behind the eyes)

  • Nasal congestion or blockage

  • Thick yellow or green nasal discharge

  • Post-nasal drip

  • Headache

  • Tooth pain or pressure

  • Reduced sense of smell

  • Ear pressure or fullness

  • Fever or fatigue

Do Sinus Infections Always Need Antibiotics?

Not all sinus infections require antibiotics. Many cases are viral and improve with supportive care.

At EZMED, our clinicians carefully evaluate your symptoms, duration, and severity to determine whether:

  • Supportive care is appropriate, or

  • Antibiotics are indicated based on clinical guidelines

This approach helps avoid unnecessary antibiotic use while ensuring proper treatment when needed.

When to Seek Medical Care for Sinus Symptoms

You should seek evaluation if:

  • Symptoms last longer than 7–10 days without improvement

  • Symptoms worsen after initially improving

  • You have severe facial pain, swelling, or high fever

  • Symptoms interfere with daily activities or sleep

No Need to Wait for an ENT Appointment

Most sinus infections can be safely evaluated and treated in a primary care or urgent care setting.

At EZMED, we can:

  • Evaluate sinus symptoms

  • Determine if antibiotics are needed

  • Prescribe appropriate medications

  • Provide guidance on symptom relief

All without the long wait for a specialist visit.
