• #1 Sinusitis – Allergy & Asthma Network

  https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/health-a-z/sinusitis/

  Sinusitis is a sinus infection. It can occur when mucus builds up in the air-filled pockets in the sinuses, causing a stuffy nose. When mucus builds up, the sinuses react when exposed to allergens, irritants or respiratory viruses. This causes the tissue lining in the sinuses to become inflamed and swollen, leading to more mucus. […] As mucus accumulates in your sinuses, it creates a breeding ground for germs. Infection can set in, causing sinus pressure, inflammation and pain. […] Common signs and symptoms include: Sinus headache, Postnasal drip (fluid from your nose draining into the back of the throat), Nasal congestion, Runny nose with green or gray discharge, A feeling of pressure or pain on the face, Cough, Fatigue, Loss of sense of smell, Upper tooth pain, Sometimes low-grade fever, Bad breath.

Common symptoms of chronic sinusitis include: […] Chronic sinusitis, also called chronic rhinosinusitis, is a condition where you have swelling, inflammation or a blockage in the nasal passages that lasts for 12 weeks or longer. If you have chronic sinusitis, your symptoms may sometimes feel better, but they never go away completely.

• #1 Why Sinusitis Keeps Coming Back | Jerome Hester, MD

  https://www.drhesterent.com/why-sinusitis-keeps-coming-back/

  Chronic infections are most frequently connected to some type of obstruction that prevents sinus cavities from draining properly, trapping bacteria and/or viruses inside the sinus cavities. […] If the nasal passages become inflamed, they get stopped up and the body has a hard time draining all of that backed up, infected, and often thickened mucus. […] Accurate diagnosis is key to treating sinusitis, especially when the infections return over and over again. […] Anyone who has broken their nose in the past is at higher risk for chronic sinus infections, so make sure to mention your nasal fracture history when you make an appointment with our office. […] Sometimes, for reasons that are unclear, the thin tissue lining the nasal passages develop small, benign (non-cancerous) tumors. […] If the septum has deviated to the point that it causes health problems, Dr. Hester will work with you to determine which treatment method or surgical procedure is best for correcting the deviation.

  An acute sinus infection not infrequently comes in two waves: First, patients get a cold with exhaustion and fever. Then there is a brief period where symptoms improve but where they can also get worse. Usually the disease is more or less resolved after two weeks. Within six weeks it has resolved in about 90% of patients. However, up to 10 percent are affected by a chronic form of sinusitis. […] In contrast to acute sinusitis, the chronic form is often less remarkable. It is possible that those affected have less energy. Some feel a dull sense of pressure around the affected sinuses, while others have recurring headaches or infections. Difficulty breathing through the nose and/or an impaired sense of smell and constant flow of mucus down the back of the throat are also typical symptoms.

  Sinusitis is an inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses. It often occurs after a cold or with allergies. […] However, if the swelling does not go away, the openings that normally allow the sinuses to drain into the back of the nose get blocked and the sinuses fill with fluid. Because the sinuses are blocked and cannot drain properly, bacteria are trapped inside and grow there. This causes a secondary infection (sinus infection).
