If you’re dealing with congestion and sinus pressure and aren’t sure if it’s allergies or a sinus infection, TNT Med Services can help you determine the cause and next best step. 

Our comprehensive allergy management services are designed to help you identify triggers, understand your body's reactions, and develop targeted treatment plans. 

With prescription medications, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing support, we empower you to enjoy a symptom-free life and better manage your allergies.

Allergy symptoms often include:

• Sneezing
• Itchy eyes, nose, or throat
• Clear/runny nasal drainage
• Nasal congestion
• Post-nasal drip
• Mild sinus pressure
• Symptoms that improve indoors or worsen outdoors

✅ Allergies are more likely when symptoms last longer than 7–10 days without fever and you notice a pattern.

Sinus Infection: Common Signs

Most sinus infections start after a viral cold and may progress when inflammation blocks sinus drainage. Some cases are viral, while others can become bacterial.

Sinus infection symptoms may include:

• Thick yellow/green mucus
• Facial pain/pressure (especially around cheeks/eyes)
• Sinus headache
• Tooth pain (upper teeth)
• Fever (sometimes)
• Reduced sense of smell/taste
• Worsening congestion after a cold     

✅ A sinus infection may be more likely when symptoms feel worse rather than better over time.

The “Time Pattern” That Matters

One of the best ways to tell the difference is the timeline:

More likely allergies

✅ Symptoms linger but don’t worsen dramatically
✅ Itching + sneezing + clear drainage
✅ No fever
✅ Triggered by season, weather, outdoors, pets, dust

More likely sinus infection

⚠️ Symptoms persist longer than expected or worsen
⚠️ Thick mucus + facial pressure/pain
⚠️ Symptoms worsen after initial improvement

A common clue providers look for is “double worsening”—meaning you started improving, then suddenly got worse again.
