Sinus Clinic
If your child has sinus infections (sinusitis) that linger and past treatment hasn't helped, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) understands your frustration. We created the Sinus Clinic, the only one in the region devoted to sinonasal diseases, specifically to help patients like your child.
Pediatric sinusitis is a common and debilitating problem that greatly impacts the quality of life of many children. We know each of our patients is unique, and that multiple causes may be creating their symptoms of sinusitis. Our mission is to accurately diagnose your child’s sinus and nasal problems and develop a treatment plan that addresses their individual needs.
If your child needs it, we collaborate with our specialist colleagues across CHOP to complete evaluations and treatments.
How we serve you
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your child's specific sinus problem, including a complete medical history. Then we will create a treatment plan, which may include medications or surgery, as needed.
Conditions we treat
Sinusitis can be caused by an infection or by a structural issue in your child's nose or sinuses. See some common sinonasal diseases we treat.
Meet your team
Our core team includes otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors), an allergist and advanced practice nurses — all with expertise in pediatric sinonasal disease.
What to expect at your Sinus Clinic appointment
Before your child’s visit, you will receive a questionnaire through MyCHOP, our online patient portal. Your answers provide us with information that will make your child’s visit more effective. It will take 10 to 20 minutes to complete. If your child has had any imaging done to evaluate their problem, such as a CT scan, it is important to bring these records with you.
Your donation changes lives
A gift of any size helps us make lifesaving breakthroughs for children everywhere.
