Our private sinus service combines rapid assessment with targeted therapies to reduce pain, congestion and recurrent infections. We perform focused ENT evaluations, nasal endoscopy and, when indicated, CT imaging to identify obstruction or chronic disease. Treatment may include prescription nasal steroids, targeted antibiotics guided by clinical findings, saline irrigation, allergy management and minimally invasive procedures such as balloon sinuplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery. Each plan is tailored to symptoms, imaging and patient preferences with follow-up to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence. The aim is faster relief and fewer complications compared with delayed or generic care.

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective sinus care. We use nasal endoscopy to visualise the nasal passages and sinus openings directly, and CT scanning when structural or chronic disease is suspected. Bacterial cultures or swabs are taken selectively when infection persists or after prior failed therapies. Allergy testing is available when allergic triggers are suspected. These diagnostic tools allow us to distinguish viral from bacterial sinusitis, detect polyps or anatomic blockages, and plan interventions precisely. Early, accurate assessment helps avoid unnecessary antibiotics and directs targeted treatment to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life.

Treatment depends on cause and severity. For viral sinusitis, supportive care with saline irrigation, decongestants and pain relief is usually sufficient. When bacterial infection is suspected or symptoms persist, targeted antibiotics are used. Nasal corticosteroid sprays reduce inflammation and swelling, improving drainage. For chronic or recurrent disease, options include allergy treatment, image-guided procedures such as balloon sinuplasty, and endoscopic sinus surgery to restore drainage. We discuss risks, benefits and recovery expectations so you can choose the best approach. Ongoing follow-up and preventive advice help minimise future episodes.
