If you start every year sick, this might be why.
Not all congestion is “just a cold.”

Chronic symptoms can be caused by:
• Recurrent sinus infections
• Allergies
• A deviated septum

Each one needs a different approach, and guessing usually leads to frustration.

A proper evaluation can help you breathe easier year-round.
Your sinuses shouldn’t dictate your calendar.

Holiday congestion isn’t always a cold 👃❄️

Some seasonal favorites can actually trigger sinus pressure, congestion, or headaches, especially if you’re already prone to sinus issues.

Common culprits include:
• Dairy-heavy dishes
• Alcohol (especially wine & beer)
• Sugary desserts
• Refined carbs & baked goods
• Salty or cured foods
• Spicy foods (for some people)

That doesn’t mean you have to skip the holiday table — just be mindful, stay hydrated, and listen to your body.

If sinus symptoms linger, worsen, or keep coming back, it may be time to dig a little deeper. Our team is here to help you breathe easier year-round.

Most people think ENT care stops at sinus infections and ear pain, but there is so much more we help patients with every day.

At Defatta ENT, care goes beyond the basics and includes:

- sublingual immunotherapy: a long-term allergy taken under the tongue that helps retrain your immune system over time. It's a convenient alternative for patients who want lasting allergy relief without frequent injections.

- Voice and swallowing disorder care: If you experience chronic hoarseness, voice fatigue, throat discomfort, or difficulty swallowing, our team evaluates the underlying cause and creates a treatment plan designed to protect and restore function.

- Sleep studies: poor sleep isn't just a "normal". Sleep studies help identify conditions like sleep apnea that can impact energy, focus, heart health, and overall wellness. This is so you can finally get the rest your body needs.

Comprehensive ENT care means treating the whole picture, not just the symptoms. If something doesn't feel right, we're here to help you find the answers.

Nasal sprays only work if they’re used correctly.

Ear pain… but no ear infection? 👂

You’re not imagining it. Many patients experience ear pain with no infection due to issues in the jaw (TMJ), sinuses, throat, or even dental problems. This is called referred ear pain, and it’s one of the most common reasons people visit an ENT.

Our providers can identify the real cause and create a treatment plan that actually brings relief.
