Do
you suffer from Ohio Nose?
Piercing
pain between your eyes. A headache that won't quit. An ever-runny
nose. Congestion. Sinus drainage. It's not a pretty picture - but
for many Ohio residents, sinus problems have become an unhappy part
of everyday life.You've tried treating it yourself. Over-the-counter
drugs. Hot showers and cold packs. Even Mom's chicken soup. And yet,
after all the home remedies, you still suffer from "the Ohio nose".

Sinusitis
is the most common chronic illness in the country, affecting
an estimated 14% of all Americans - more than 40 million of us.
Montgomery Ear Nose
& Throat Clinic knows how to treat "the Ohio nose". The physicians
are specialists in the treatment of sinus and respiratory conditions,
with many years of experience in treating the specific types of
problems found in Ohio. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment,
our physicians can identify the cause of your problem.
Untreated
sinus infections can lead to such serious diseases as bronchitis,
pneumonia, asthma, or even meningitis. Using over-the-counter
medications and home remedies may offer temporary relief, but
in the long run can actually make the situation worse. The sinus
membranes become cracked, swollen, and more susceptible to repeated
infection. Our physicians can recommend antibiotics or other
medication which will stop the infection. If the problem is an
obstruction- due to swelling, scarring from previous infections,
polyps - they can perform procedures in one of our state-of-art
sinus endoscopy-equipped surgical suites. |
