Sinus Infections

A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue that lines the sinuses. When sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, it allows viruses, bacteria, or fungi to grow more easily and cause an infection.

There are many symptoms associated with a sinus infection. Some of the common symptoms include sinus pain and pressure, headache, nasal congestion, cough, postnasal drip, fever and fatigue.

Understanding the symptoms of sinusitis is important to help determine the best treatment. You can manage your symptoms with home remedies like nasal sprays, hydration, rest, and using humidifiers. However, if you have questions about symptoms or if they last more than seven to ten days, you may need to see a doctor.
