About Intranasal Injection

An intranasal injection is a minimally invasive ENT procedure where medication is delivered directly into the nasal tissues using a fine needle. This targeted approach allows for high-concentration treatment of specific nasal and sinus conditions, bypassing the digestive system for faster, more effective results. Commonly performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, it is used to administer corticosteroids, anesthetics, or other therapeutic agents to reduce inflammation, manage pain, or treat chronic conditions. The procedure is precise, typically taking only a few minutes, and offers a valuable alternative when standard nasal sprays or oral medications are insufficient.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Garcia, a 28-year-old high school...

Ishaan Garcia, a 28-year-old high school music teacher and amateur singer, had suffered from chronic, debilitating sinus infections for three years. His symptoms included constant facial pressure, thick green nasal discharge, and a complete loss of his singing voice during flare-ups. Multiple courses of antibiotics, nasal steroids, and two sinus surgeries provided only temporary relief. His ENT, Dr. Lee, recommended an intranasal corticosteroid injection, explaining it could deliver a potent anti-inflammatory dose directly to the stubbornly inflamed sinus tissues that oral medications couldn't reach. Ishaan was anxious, fearing pain and potential damage to his vocal cords. The procedure, performed in-office with topical anesthetic, involved a quick prick and pressure deep in his nose. The immediate aftermath was uncomfortable, with a strong metallic taste and minor bleeding. Over the next week, the pressure and congestion melted away. At his one-month follow-up, his sinuses were clear, and he had regained his full vocal range. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and despair over his stalled music career to profound relief and optimism, finally feeling in control of his health.
