Sinus Infection Treatment Options near Oradell, NJ

To diagnose a sinus infection, a medical provider will ask a series of questions to best understand the specific symptoms in each case. When you visit AFC Paramus, a provider will conduct a physical exam to inspect your ears, nose, and throat to look for signs of inflammation and infection. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, it's possible that you may be recommended for blood work to determine whether your sinus infection is caused by bacteria or a virus.

If your sinus infection is bacterial, antibiotics could help alleviate symptoms and treat the infection. If your sinus infection is viral, antibiotic treatment will not help. In this case, we may recommend nasal spray, ibuprofen, or over-the-counter decongestants to treat your sinus infection. However severe your sinusitis is, our team has you covered.
