Sinus pressure, congestion, drainage, headaches, and trouble breathing through your nose can make everyday life uncomfortable. When those symptoms keep returning, it may be time to find out what is causing them.
Glatz Group provides comprehensive sinus care in McAllen for patients dealing with chronic sinus problems, nasal obstruction, allergies, recurring infections, and other conditions affecting the nose and sinuses.
Sinus problems are not always as simple as having a stuffy nose. Inflammation, allergies, structural problems, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinates, and chronic sinusitis can all contribute to ongoing symptoms.
At Glatz Group, our goal is to determine what is causing the problem first. From there, we can discuss treatment options designed around your symptoms and your individual needs.
Sinus symptoms can return for many different reasons. Some patients may be dealing with allergies or inflammation. Others may have a physical blockage that makes it difficult for the sinuses to drain normally.
An ENT evaluation can help identify whether your symptoms are being caused by chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction, polyps, turbinate problems, allergies, or another condition affecting normal airflow and drainage.
Symptoms that continue, frequently return, or interfere with your daily life may be worth discussing with an ENT specialist.
When sinus inflammation continues for an extended period of time or infections repeatedly return, the problem may be chronic sinusitis.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition. An evaluation can help determine whether medication, allergy management, an office procedure, or another treatment option may be appropriate.
Not every sinus problem is caused by an infection. Structural conditions inside the nose can restrict airflow and interfere with normal sinus drainage.
Conditions such as nasal polyps, enlarged turbinates, and other nasal obstructions may contribute to persistent congestion and difficulty breathing.

Allergies can cause inflammation inside the nose, which may lead to congestion, sneezing, drainage, sinus pressure, and difficulty breathing comfortably.
For some patients, managing allergies is an important part of improving long term sinus and nasal health.

Medication can provide relief for many sinus conditions, but some patients continue to experience pressure, congestion, infections, or difficulty breathing despite treatment.
When symptoms continue, Glatz Group can evaluate whether additional treatment options may be appropriate.
For qualifying patients with chronic sinus problems, balloon sinuplasty may be an option. The procedure is designed to help open blocked sinus pathways and improve drainage without traditional sinus surgery.
Dr. Frank R. Glatz has provided balloon sinuplasty to patients in the Rio Grande Valley since 2012.

The ears, nose, and sinuses are closely connected. Congestion and inflammation can sometimes contribute to pressure or a plugged sensation in the ears.
If sinus symptoms and ear pressure seem to happen together, an ENT evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to both.

Glatz Group provides patients with access to sinus evaluation, medical treatment, office procedures, and surgical options when necessary. Keeping care within one ENT team can make it easier to move from diagnosis to treatment without starting over somewhere else.
If sinus pressure, congestion, drainage, recurring infections, or trouble breathing through your nose are affecting your daily life, Glatz Group can help determine what may be causing the problem.
