[Broomfield, 4/24/2019] Allergies and sinus problems can lead to a host of problems like frequent migraines, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI). Though only roughly 8.1% of people were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or hay fever, and 12.5% of the adult population were diagnosed with sinusitis in recent years, these problems should not be taken lightly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who are experiencing sinus problems and allergy can turn to Peak ENT and Voice Center’s nose clinic to find relief. The clinic treats a vast range of issues like nasal allergies, blockage, sleep apnea, and more.

Fast Facts about the Nose

The nose has many functions other than giving people an airway and a sense of smell. The nostril hairs and layers of mucus, for instance, help filter and warm the air that goes into the lungs. Peak ENT and Voice Center added that the nose also humidifies the air, making it easier for the lungs, as they are more receptive to moist air. Because of the essential functions of this organ, the nose clinic offers treatment options for problems like:

Allergic and Chronic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis causes inflammation and swelling in the nasal lining because of a reaction to inhaled allergens. This can cause thickened mucus, runny nose, headaches, nasal congestion, and more. If left unchecked, this may cause recurring inflammation and swelling, which is called chronic rhinitis. The clinic treats allergic rhinitis through proper testing for food allergies to see if the patient can undergo immunotherapy. Immunotherapy helps the body become less sensitive to allergens.

Chronic Sinusitis

Peak ENT and Voice Center also treats chronic sinusitis, whose symptoms include nasal congestion, headaches, and even loss of smell. When these symptoms persist for more than three months, sinus inflammation may be the cause. The clinic recommends using anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medications or opening blocked sinus passages through surgery.

Apart from problems caused by inflammation, Peak ENT and Voice Center also treats other issues like sleep apnea, nasal fractures, mouth breathing, and even excess mucus production and discharge. The clinic has locations in Broomfield and its neighboring areas like Brighton and Golden, Colorado.
