Sore throat, Sinus Infections

Throat On Fire or Sinuses Stuck? Skip the Wait

A sore throat or sinus infection can turn a normal day into a painful, exhausting one — especially when swallowing hurts, pressure builds behind your eyes, or congestion won’t let you sleep. Whether it’s strep, sinusitis, tonsillitis, allergies, post-nasal drip, or a viral cold, you shouldn’t have to suffer and wait to get answers. Members can reach Calabasas Concierge MD immediately by call, text, or telehealth, with same-day/next-day in-home visits when an exam or testing is needed.

Common causes of sore throat and sinus symptoms include:

• Strep throat
• Viral sore throat
• Acute or chronic sinusitis
• Post-nasal drip
• Seasonal allergies
• Tonsillitis
• Influenza or other viral illness
• Dehydration or mouth breathing at night

Your care begins with direct access — simply call or text to review your symptoms. Many throat and sinus infections can be evaluated through telehealth with guided treatment and prescriptions when appropriate. If testing or a detailed exam is needed — such as checking your tonsils, performing a rapid strep test, evaluating sinus tenderness, or assessing breathing — Dr. Hakman provides a same-day/next-day in-home evaluation using professional diagnostic tools.

When appropriate, we provide:

• Rapid testing
• Prescriptions
• Pain and fever management
• Follow-up check-ins

If symptoms suggest something more serious — like peritonsillar abscess, severe sinus infection, dehydration, or difficulty swallowing — Dr. Hakman coordinates next steps, including imaging or emergency evaluation when warranted.

Dr. Hakman’s note: “My members get evaluated and treated quickly — the same day — so they can feel better faster and get back to their normal lives without delays.”
