Persistent nasal congestion, facial pressure, chronic headaches, or constant sneezing can make it hard to work, sleep, and enjoy daily life. At Sri Supraja Hospital, Tanuku, Dr. G. Venkateswara Rao, ENT Specialist, provides expert diagnosis and personalised treatment for sinus disorders and allergic conditions — helping patients of all ages breathe comfortably and live without restriction.
Understanding Sinusitis
The sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull surrounding the nose and eyes. Sinusitis occurs when these cavities become inflamed or infected, causing mucus build-up and pressure. It may be triggered by viral or bacterial infections, allergies, nasal polyps, or structural issues such as a deviated nasal septum.
Types of Sinusitis
- Acute Sinusitis: Sudden-onset inflammation lasting up to 4 weeks, commonly following a cold or upper respiratory infection.
- Subacute Sinusitis: Persistent inflammation lasting 4–12 weeks.
- Chronic Sinusitis: Long-standing sinus inflammation lasting more than 12 weeks, often requiring intensive treatment.
- Recurrent Sinusitis: Three or more distinct acute sinusitis episodes within a 12-month period.
Common Symptoms We Treat
- Blocked or congested nasal passages
- Thick yellow or green nasal discharge
- Facial pain or pressure around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead
- Headache worsening in the morning or when bending forward
- Reduced or absent sense of smell or taste
- Post-nasal drip and persistent throat clearing
- Ear fullness or muffled hearing
- Fatigue and general malaise
- Sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes (allergy-driven)
Allergic Conditions We Manage
- Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever): Nasal inflammation triggered by allergens such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, or mould.
- Nasal Polyps: Benign soft growths inside the nasal passages or sinuses causing persistent blockage and breathing difficulty.
- Deviated Nasal Septum: A displaced septum causing chronic nasal obstruction — often correctable with a straightforward surgical procedure.
- Sinusitis with Asthma: Co-management of upper and lower airway disease for comprehensive respiratory relief.
Our Treatment Approach
- Medical Management: Venkateswara Rao prescribes nasal corticosteroid sprays, decongestants, antihistamines, saline irrigation, and antibiotics where appropriate, tailored to each patient.
- Allergy Testing: Skin prick or blood tests to identify specific allergens and guide a targeted treatment plan.
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery to open blocked sinuses, remove polyps, and restore natural drainage — no external cuts required.
- Septoplasty: Surgical straightening of a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow and relieve chronic congestion.
- Long-Term Follow-Up: Ongoing monitoring and maintenance plans to prevent recurrence and sustain clear, comfortable breathing.
