In the hot days of summer in Sevierville, we’re frequently going out into the heat and then back into air conditioned comfort—which can wreak havoc on our sinuses. We’ve all experienced that stuffed up nose or congested feeling from the constant fluctuations in temperature! If you’re experiencing frequent or prolonged issues with your sinuses, though, you may have developed a sinus infection. But help is available.
Can I Go to an Urgent Care Center for a Sinus Infection?
Absolutely! Our qualified and knowledgeable staff is available seven days a week to help treat you and your family for any non-life-threatening condition, including sinus infections. Would you recognize the symptoms of an infection?
