Allergic Rhinosinusitis Treatment Doctor in South Mumbai (Marine Lines, Churchgate)

Are you suffering from persistent facial pain, sinus pressure, heavy head, and chronic nasal blockage? Allergic Rhinosinusitis is a debilitating condition where environmental allergies trigger chronic mucosal inflammation across both the nasal passages and the paranasal sinus cavities[cite: 1]. Common triggers include dust mites, pollens, mold, pet dander, and urban air pollution[cite: 1, 3, 4].

At the ENT Allergy Clinic in South Mumbai, leading specialist Dr. Rajeev Nerurkar offers comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation and treatment for Allergic Rhinosinusitis at Bombay Hospital, Marine Lines (easily reachable from Churchgate, Nariman Point, and Girgaon)[cite: 1]. Our goal is to reduce sinus swelling, clear airway drainage, and prevent recurrent flare-ups[cite: 1].

Key Symptoms of Allergic Rhinosinusitis

When allergic inflammation blocks normal sinus drainage pathways, patients experience a range of distressing symptoms[cite: 1]:

• Facial Pressure & Sinus Headaches: Fullness and dull ache around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes that worsens when bending forward[cite: 1].

• Persistent Nasal Congestion: Heavy blockage making nasal breathing difficult day and night[cite: 1].

• Thick Discharge & Post-Nasal Drip: Mucus dripping down the back of the throat causing persistent clearing and cough[cite: 1].

• Reduced Sense of Smell (Anosmia): Swollen sinus passages restricting airflow to olfactory nerves[cite: 1, 3].

• Sneezing & Watery Eyes: Classic allergic rhinitis symptoms accompanying sinus congestion[cite: 1].

Advanced Diagnosis & Treatment Protocol at Bombay Hospital

Unlike simple infectious sinusitis, Allergic Rhinosinusitis requires addressing both structural blockages and underlying immune sensitivities[cite: 1, 4]:

1. Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

We perform high-definition in-clinic diagnostic nasal endoscopy to check for mucosal edema or nasal polyps[cite: 4]. When required, a CT scan of the Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) evaluates deep sinus involvement, accompanied by an Allergy Skin Prick Test to identify your exact trigger allergens[cite: 3, 4].

2. Targeted Medical & Saline Management

Prescription of modern anti-inflammatory nasal steroid sprays, antihistamines, and targeted saline douching to reduce sinus swelling and maintain natural mucosal clearance[cite: 1, 4].

3. Allergen Immunotherapy & Biologics

For long-term desensitization, we offer Allergen Immunotherapy to build immune tolerance over 3–5 years[cite: 3]. For severe cases with recurrent nasal polyps, advanced Biological Therapy (such as Dupixent) is prescribed to shrink polyps and restore smell without chronic steroids[cite: 3].

4. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)

In cases where chronic allergic inflammation causes permanent structural obstruction or nasal polyps, Dr. Rajeev Nerurkar performs minimally invasive Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to open blocked sinuses[cite: 3, 4].
