Sinus Infections

Urgent Care for Sinus Infections in Connecticut and New York

Urgent Care for Sinus Infections in Connecticut & New York

If you’re worried that you might have a sinus infection, you can feel confident turning to Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for treatment. Since our practice was founded in 2008, we’ve made it our mission to supply patients with the fastest, friendliest, and most professional urgent care in the area.

Sinus Infection Symptoms

A sinus infection (also referred to as “sinusitis”) can produce the following symptoms:

  • A headache
  • Facial pain or pressure
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Postnasal drip
  • Bad breath
  • A sore throat
  • Coughing

Sinus Infection Causes

The skull contains numerous hollow cavities (sinuses). Normally, these cavities are filled with air. But when fluid builds up—for example, due to allergies or a cold—it creates the perfect breeding ground for germs, and this can lead to a bacterial or viral sinus infection.

Sinus Infection Treatment

Treatment for a sinus infection will vary from one patient to another depending on what’s causing the infection. For instance, while antibiotics are commonly used to treat bacterial infections, this type of medication isn’t appropriate for a viral infection. Our experienced providers can recommend the treatment approach that’s best suited to your needs.

In the meantime, you may be able to relieve some of your sinus infection symptoms by:

  • Taking over-the-counter medication
  • Using a nasal spray
  • Breathing in steam
  • Applying a warm compress to your face

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the attention you gave me last week.

My son was started on antibiotics and ear drops. Within 24 hours he began to feel better. The poor kid had been going to school in tears because he was afraid of missing any more days, but feeling (and looking) just awful! He's not been able to even think about lacrosse practice, but thanks to starting him on antibiotics, he was thrilled to return to practice today.
