The term “sinusitis” refers to an infection or inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled cavities within the bones of the face and are situated in the cheeks, maxillary, forehead, and around the eyes, ethmoidal.
Causes
It can happen during a cold, hay fever, or irritation of the linings of the sinuses, causing too much mucus or swelling that can block the narrow channels, resulting in sinusitis. Bacteria then grow inside the sinuses, causing pain, headaches, and occasionally fever. Mucus from infected sinuses can be yellow or green. Some people get sinusitis with most colds, while others get it infrequently.
Symptoms
Sinusitis frequently manifests as:
· Blocked nose
Pressure sensation inside the nose
Pain in the face, especially when bending forward
· Headache
Nasal mucus of the colors yellow or green
· Swelling of the face
Taste and odor impairment
· Persistent cough
· Generally feeling unwell
