I visited the Urgent Care Plus location regarding my daughter’s seasonal allergies last week.
Doctor Luk and his team are doing a fantastic job and trying to do everything to ensure the patient was treated correctly and answered all the questions before the patient left.
Dr. Luk is so knowledgeable and welcoming, and nurses are very friendly with patients and their families.
I’m so glad they’re close to my home.
Understanding the Causes: Infection vs. Allergy
While sinus infections and nasal allergies may feel similar, their causes–and treatment approaches–are different. We help patients understand what’s behind their symptoms so they can get the right care the first time.
Sinus Infections (Sinusitis)
An infection in the sinus cavities, often caused by viruses or bacteria. Can develop from colds, allergies, or blocked sinus drainage.
Typical symptoms include:
- Facial pressure or pain
- Thick, discolored nasal discharge
- Headache or pain behind the eyes
- Fever or fatigue
- Tooth or upper jaw pain
Nasal Allergies (Allergic Rhinitis)
An immune response to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander.
Symptoms often include:
- Sneezing, nasal congestion
- Clear runny nose
- Post-nasal drip
- Itchy eyes, nose, or throat
- Symptoms that worsen seasonally or indoors
In many cases, untreated allergies can lead to inflammation that causes or worsens sinus infections.
