How Allergies Affect the Nose and Sinuses
In South Florida, allergy season can last most of the year due to warm temperatures, high humidity, and ongoing pollen exposure. For many individuals, symptoms are not seasonal but persistent.
Environmental allergies can cause chronic nasal inflammation, leading to congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, and disrupted sleep. Over time, untreated allergies may contribute to recurrent sinus infections and chronic sinusitis.
Identifying specific triggers allows for more targeted and effective treatment.
