Sinus Infections & Pressure
What Is Sinusitis?
The term sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinus lining. This inflammation can be associated with infection (viral, bacterial or fungal), genetic factors or airborne allergens.
In many cases this swelling causes a structural blockage at the sinus opening, preventing normal mucus drainage. When sinuses cannot freely drain, it can lead to many uncomfortable symptoms we associate with sinus problems.
Symptoms of Sinusitis
Facial pain, pressure and fullness
Nasal congestion or blockage
Thick, discolored nasal or post-nasal discharge
Decreased or lost sense of smell and/or taste
