Ear, Throat, & Sinus Infections Treatment in Oklahoma City, OK

A sinus infection is also known as sinusitis. This condition can occur when the sinuses become filled with fluid, which causes germs to grow and infection in the patient. Sinus infections can be caused by colds, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum. In order to treat a sinus infection, it’s important to have the cause properly diagnosed by a professional, like our professionals here at Immediate Care of Oklahoma.

Depending on the cause of your sinus infection, a doctor might prescribe an antibiotic or a type of steroid. If your sinus infection is caused by allergic rhinitis, then the doctor might recommend allergy testing to determine what the allergen is, and then recommend you avoid the allergen. If your infection is caused by nasal polyps or a deviated septum, then the doctor might refer you to a specialist.
