Clear Your Mind & Your Sinuses

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They hang down like teardrops or grapes. They result from chronic inflammation and are associated with asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity, or certain immune disorders. Nasal polyps can affect anyone, but they’re more common in adults. Medications can often shrink nasal polyps, but procedures or surgery are very often needed to remove them.

In Los Angeles, Dr. Cohen has seen the numbers of patients presenting with acute sinusitis soar. Perhaps due to poor air quality, and urban sprawl, some strains of sinusitis have also evolved with increased resistance to antibiotics. For infection and pain that lasts up to 12 weeks, patients are diagnosed with acute sinusitis. Once the condition has persisted for more than 12 weeks, the condition is known as chronic sinusitis. Dr. Cohen successfully treats acute and chronic sinusitis using the most effective and sophisticated treatments available.

You might have been born with your deviated septum, or your nose might have been injured in a number of ways. It’s likely no one notices you have a deviated septum, but you notice; and, you might be suffering because of it. Maybe you have frequent sinusitis, unpleasant nasal discharge, or you snore so loud your partner doesn’t want to sleep in the same bed as you. Fortunately, not all hope is lost. You can have your deviated septum repaired so you can breathe more easily and eliminate unpleasant side effects.
