Balloon sinuplasty for allergy symptom relief
Balloon sinuplasty for allergies can help reduce the chronic allergy symptoms like congestion, chronic cough, and headaches that can make life a lot less enjoyable.

How inflamed sinuses can make your allergy symptoms worse
Inflamed or swollen sinuses — also known as sinusitis or sinus infections — can lead to buildup in your sinus pathways that can exacerbate severe allergy symptoms. Taking over-the-counter allergy relief medication may keep your symptoms at bay, but it can’t help with the underlying cause(s) of your sinusitis.
Does balloon sinuplasty help with allergies? Balloon sinuplasty is a simple, lasting, and effective symptom relief treatment for allergies in Houston. Though not a cure for allergies, most patients see a marked improvement in their allergy symptoms after treating their sinusitis with balloon sinuplasty.
If you experience trouble breathing at night, severe headaches, or other allergy symptoms such as allergy-related fatigue, balloon sinuplasty for allergies can help provide you with both sinusitis relief and allergy symptom relief.
Balloon sinuplasty for chronic allergy relief in Houston
Because it rarely gets cold in this part of Texas, all four seasons are allergy season in Houston. The allergy count in Houston is almost always high, especially during ragweed season and after major storms and hurricanes, which plague the city with mold. It’s no surprise, then, that countless Houstonians are interested in sinus surgery for allergy sufferers.
Balloon sinuplasty for allergies is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that can provide patients with long-lasting chronic allergy relief and has become an increasingly attractive option for those suffering from allergy symptoms.
During the procedure, Dr. Michael Kaplan uses a tiny balloon to widen the nasal passageways, restore normal drainage, and help you to breathe better, all while relieving allergy symptoms such as headaches and facial pressure. It’s that simple. The best part? The procedure takes less than 20 minutes and most patients are back at work between 24 and 48 hours.
