Sinus disease is the infection of sinuses located in the bones around the nose, cheeks and forehead. These sinuses are the air filled cavities which are connected to the nose through a small and narrow channels. When these sinuses get infected with cold,
virus or bacteria, these sinuses swell and the narrow channels or the airways gets blocked. Due to infection excess mucus is formed in the sinuses and this thick mucus increases pressure and leads to headache, facial pain, fever, dizziness, ear pain and so on. Sinus disease is classified into different types based on the severity and duration of infection. The different types of sinusitis are acute sinusitis, sub acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis and recurrent sinusitis. Acute sinusitis is a condition where the pain and infections lasts for 2-4 weeks. Sub acute
Sinusitis is a condition where the infection and swelling lasts for 4-12 weeks. Chronic sinusitis is a condition where people face inflammation and infection for more than 12 weeks whereas recurrent sinusitis is a condition where people face infection several times a year. People with sinus disease face symptoms like blocked nose, fatigue, fever, headache, loss of ability to smell, cough, bad
breath, facial pain and so on. Sinus disease is caused due to several factors like allergies, cold, nasal polyps, weak immunity, deviated septum and also due to weather or seasonal changes.
