Balloon Sinuplasty can help.

What is Balloon Sinuplasty?

In a Balloon Sinuplasty procedure, the doctor guides a catheter with a balloon over it into the patient's sinuses and gently inflates it -- similar to balloon angioplasty for blocked arteries -- opening the inflamed sinuses and restoring their normal functioning.
