How to Use a Sinus Rinse
If you have a virus or are suffering an allergic reaction, sinuses can get clogged. A nasal rinse unclogs them by washing away mucus, allergens, and other debris preventing further bacteria growth. Our Philadelphia ENT doctors suggest a sinus rinse which is easy to use but learn to properly perform the rinse to avoid further bacteria growth and a sinus infection.
Common Conditions that Our ENT Doctors Treat
Given our four season climate, our ENT doctors in Philadelphia continually treat conditions such as colds, allergies, stuffed noses, and ear infections. Our most common conditions and procedures, however, arise from complaints of sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, and snoring and sleep apnea.
Deviated Septum
Did you know that almost 80% of people have a deviation of their nasal septum due to genetics, injury or trauma? Symptoms can include breathing difficulty, sinus infections, facial pain, headaches, as well as snoring and sleep apnea. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, please call us for an appointment with our board-certified Philadelphia ENT doctors so that the proper diagnosis can be determined.
Chronic Sinusitis
If you suffer from chronic sinusitis, you know how it feels. You experience facial pain and pressure, headaches, nasal congestion, and feel as if you constantly have a cold. You don’t breathe or sleep well. Your sense of smell and taste may be compromised; you may feel depressed or more tired than usual. Our ENT doctors have pioneered long-lasting, safe and gentle cures for chronic sinusitis with little discomfort and no expected bruising or swelling.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when the airway completely or partially collapses repeatedly during sleep causing interrupted breathing patterns. Untreated, it can lead to daytime fatigue, lack of concentration, snoring, high blood pressure, stroke, and heart failure. We are the ONLY ENT doctors in Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley offering triple board-certification in Otolaryngology, Sleep Apnea Surgery and Sleep Medicine.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: What We Are Doing and What You Need to Know
BergerHenry ENT continues to provide safe and advanced ENT care to all patients in each of our office locations. Appointment scheduling is more efficient, wait times have lessened significantly, and our COVID-19 screening processes continue to maintain safety and health for you and our doctors.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, all visitors to a health care facility still need to follow CDC guidelines which state that an approved face covering is required by both medical staff, patients, and anyone accompanying a patient. This is required even if you or your child has been vaccinated. An appropriate face covering that covers the entire nose and mouth is required to visit BergerHenry ENT for anyone over 2 years of age. A face shield or piece of clothing does not qualify as an appropriate mask. As a medical office, we have requirements by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and CDC that are stricter than a typical business and designed to keep us all safe.
