Sinusitis (Acute & Chronic)

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses that causes congestion, facial discomfort, and dyspnoea. It falls into acute and chronic sinusitis.
Viral infections such as the common cold typically trigger acute sinusitis, a brief illness. Among the symptoms are fever, nasal congestion, facial pressure, headache, and postnasal drip. Usually lasting less than four weeks, it gets better with rest, liquids, nasal irrigation, and occasionally antibiotics if bacterial.
Persistent infections, allergies, or nasal polyps cause chronic sinusitis—more than 12 weeks. It causes facial pain, heavy nasal discharge, loss of smell, and extended nasal congestion. Treatment consists of allergy control, corticosteroids, saline nasal sprays, or even surgery in extreme situations.
Among the preventive actions are keeping hydrated, running humidifiers, avoiding allergies, and maintaining proper cleanliness. Seeing a doctor about ongoing symptoms guarantees appropriate treatment.
