Constant sneezing.
Blocked nose.
Facial pressure that just won’t go away.
Many people treat allergies and sinus problems as two separate issues — but in reality, they are closely connected. In fact, untreated allergies are one of the most common causes of chronic sinus problems.
At American Hospital Clinics Doha, ENT specialists focus on identifying the root cause — not just treating symptoms — to give patients long-term relief.
How Are Allergies and Sinus Problems Connected?
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to allergens such as:
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Mold
- Pet dander
When allergens enter the nose, they cause inflammation of the nasal lining. This swelling blocks the sinus drainage pathways, leading to sinus congestion and infection.
Simply put:
Allergies create inflammation → inflammation blocks sinuses → sinus problems develop
Common Sinus Problems Triggered by Allergies
1. Allergic Rhinitis
Also known as hay fever, it causes:
- Sneezing
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy eyes and throat
If untreated, it often progresses to sinus congestion.
2. Acute Sinusitis
Short-term sinus infection caused by blocked mucus drainage.
Symptoms include:
- Facial pain or pressure
- Thick nasal discharge
- Headache
- Fever
3. Chronic Sinusitis
When sinus symptoms last more than 12 weeks, often due to long-standing allergies.
Signs Your Sinus Problem May Be Allergy-Related
- Symptoms worsen during certain seasons
- Frequent sneezing and itchy eyes
- Clear nasal discharge initially
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Symptoms improve temporarily with allergy medication
