What are sinusitis symptoms?

February 3, 2022

Sinus infections usually develop after a cold, flu or some allergies. Sinusitis is caused when the nasal passages and sinus tissues get irritated and inflamed. The swollen sinuses traps mucus and creates an environment for germs to grow. This leads to serious sinus infections. Sometimes sinus infections are also caused by adenoids blocking the sinuses.

Sinusitis symptoms include,
Inflammation in the nose.
Thick and brown nasal discharge (runny nose)
The muscles in the back of the neck are emptied (postnasal drainage)
Breathing via your nose is difficult due to a blocked or stuffy (congested) nose.
Around your eyes, cheeks, nose, and forehead, you may experience pain, soreness, and swelling.
