What is Sinusitis?
Sinusitis, often referred to as a sinus infection, occurs when the sinus cavities become inflamed and swollen. This condition can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms and impact your overall well-being.
Common Symptoms of Sinusitis
Sinusitis can manifest with a variety of symptoms, including:
- Nasal Congestion: Difficulty breathing through the nose due to blocked nasal passages.
- Facial Pain and Pressure: Aching sensations around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks.
- Headache: Persistent pain, often worsened by bending over or lying down.
- Postnasal Drip: Excess mucus dripping down the back of the throat, leading to throat irritation and coughing.
- Fatigue: Feeling tired or worn out due to disrupted sleep caused by sinus symptoms.
- Fever: In some cases, sinusitis may lead to a mild fever.
What Causes Sinusitis?
Sinusitis can be triggered by various factors, including:
- Viral Infections: The common cold or flu can lead to sinusitis when the sinuses become infected.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions to pollen, dust, or pet dander can result in sinus inflammation.
