Winter air can be brutal on your sinuses, eyes, nose and skin.
Add allergies to the mix, and it can be even more uncomfortable.
“It’s a very dry time of the year in Arizona,” Diana Ruiloba, PA-C ENT physician assistant at Arizona Breathe Free Sinus and Allergy Centers in Scottdale said."Many patients complaining of dry eyes, skin and sinuses often will have paradoxical symptoms. Watery eyes and a thin clear watery nasal discharge are often signs of dryness.”
Allergies can compound the problem. Medicines used to combat allergies often cause dry eyes and sinuses, Stewart said. It’s a delicate balancing act to control allergies while also preventing dry eyes, nasal passageways and sinuses.
“We recommend lubricating eye drops if your eyes are too dry, moisturizer for your skin and nasal products at night like AYR saline gel that is designed to lock in moisture to the mucous membranes while you sleep,” Ruiloba said.
