What is Sinusitis?
If you take a few days congested or stuffy nose and waking up with headaches and swollen eyes, you may have sinusitis. Sinusitis is annoying and may even be painful at times, but usually not severe.
Sinusitis is the medical term used to describe inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the sinuses. Usually caused by infection.
The sinuses are bony cavities filled with moist air inside the bones of the face around the nose. The frontal sinuses are in the area that is near the eyebrows, the maxillary sinuses are inside the cheek (the cheek bones). Ethmoid sinuses between the eyes, and sphenoid sinus behind the ethmoid sinuses.
When we’re healthy, sinuses are filled with air, which causes facial bones are less dense and lighter. The sinuses also influence how the voice sounds like.
Infections by viruses or bacteria, or both at once-can cause sinusitis. Usually when a person has a cold sore breasts. This is viral sinusitis. Allergies can also trigger the long run, a sinus infection.
When nasal congestion (stuffiness) associated with the common cold or an allergy does not allow the sinuses to drain properly, bacteria can become trapped inside the sinuses, leading to bacterial sinusitis.
Those with bacterial sinusitis usually found worse than those affected by a viral sinusitis. A person with bacterial sinusitis usually will have more facial pain and swelling that you have viral sinusitis, and may also have fever.
