Q:How can I distinguish between seasonal allergies and sinusitis based on symptoms?
A:
Allergic rhinitis is primarily triggered by allergens like pollen and dust and is characterized by sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes. Sinusitis, on the other hand, often involves facial pain or pressure, thick nasal discharge, and may be accompanied by fever. While both conditions can cause nasal congestion, understanding these differences in symptoms can help differentiate between them. Call our office to schedule with our ENT providers to discuss your symptoms.

Q:Is My Dizziness an Inner Ear Problem?
A:
Dizziness has diverse causes and meanings. We often associate it with inner ear issues, especially vertigo, which involves spinning sensations. However, lightheadedness and unsteadiness may arise from non-inner ear problems like blood pressure, cardiac conditions, nerve weakness, or central nervous system issues. Your primary care physician may see the need to refer you to an ENT, audiologist, or neurologist for treatment. Call our office to schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms.

A:
The effects of a neurotoxin like Botox typically last for about 3 to 6 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors.

Q:What is the difference between dermal fillers and Botox, and which one is right for me?
A:
Dermal fillers and Botox are both cosmetic treatments, but they serve different purposes. Dermal fillers are used to add volume, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance features like lips and cheeks. Botox, on the other hand, relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. The choice between them depends on your specific concerns and goals.
