Sinusitis, or a sinus infection, is swelling of the sinuses that causes congestion, facial pressure and drainage. The CDC notes that viruses cause most sinus infections, though bacteria cause some. Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, evaluates sinus symptoms for adults and children. Our team is led by board-certified physicians.
See a clinician if symptoms last more than 10 days, fever lasts more than 3 to 4 days, or pain is severe. Walk in or check in online at our Westmont, IL clinic.
According to the CDC, common symptoms include:
MedlinePlus explains that acute sinusitis lasts up to 4 weeks, while chronic sinusitis lasts more than 12 weeks.
Your clinician asks how long you have been sick and examines your nose, throat, ears and face. If your symptoms overlap with other illnesses, we may run a rapid flu test or a strep test.
The CDC says many sinus infections get better on their own. Your clinician may suggest watchful waiting plus home care, such as saline nasal spray or rinses, warm compresses, breathing in steam and rest. If your symptoms point to a bacterial infection or are not improving, your clinician will explain the next steps in your treatment plan. Recurring sinus problems may need an allergy review or a specialist referral.
