About Sinusitis

Sinusitis, commonly known as a sinus infection, is the inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses, which can lead to blockage and mucus buildup. It may be acute, lasting less than four weeks, often following a cold, or chronic, persisting for 12 weeks or longer. Symptoms typically include nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, thick nasal discharge, reduced sense of smell, coughing, and fatigue. Sinusitis can be triggered by infections, allergies, or irritants. While acute cases may resolve on their own, chronic sinusitis often requires medical treatment, including medications or, in some cases, surgery.
