Hello everyone....
If you have persistent inflammation or swelling of the tissues that line your sinuses, you could have a condition called chronic sinusitis. Under normal circumstances, your sinuses are full of air, but when they get blocked and filled with fluid, viruses, bacteria, or fungi can accumulate there and lead to a sinus infection.
Causes And Concerns
Sinus blockages can be caused by a common cold or from swelling of the nasal linings due to allergic rhinitis. Other causes include small growths within the nasal passages (nasal polyps) or a deviation in the nasal cavity. Approximately 37 million U.S. citizens suffer from one or more attacks of sinusitis every year. There are various types of sinusitis including:
Chronic Sinusitis – Symptoms persist for eight weeks or perhaps longer.
Acute Sinusitis – Cold-like symptoms develop suddenly.
Sub-acute Sinusitis – Sinus inflammation lasts from four to eight weeks.
Recurrent Sinusitis – Several attacks of sinusitis occur during the course of a single year.
Symptoms And Signs
With the chronic form of sinusitis, you have persistence in the symptoms and signs of the condition. Infections and smoking most frequently contribute to chronic sinusitis episodes in adults. Also, environmental factors commonly lead to sinusitis in children. These include allergies, infectious illnesses, pacifiers, drinking from bottles while lying down, and second hand smoke. If you have been suffering from chronic sinusitis, your symptoms may linger for at least eight weeks. The common symptoms and signs include:
Swelling of the mucous membranes of the nose
Drainage that may be yellow or green
Stuffy nose and nasal congestion
Facial pain that is worse with bending
Headaches
Visual disturbances
Loss of smell
Fever
Fatigue
Bad breath
Teeth pain or toothache
