What Is Sinusitis and Its Symptoms?
Sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection, happens when the small air-filled spaces around the nose (sinuses) become swollen or inflamed, often after a cold or flu. Most mild cases clear up within 2–4 weeks, but symptoms can make daily life difficult.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain, swelling, or tenderness around the cheeks, eyes, or forehead.
- Blocked or runny nose.
- Thick yellow or green mucus.
- Reduced sense of smell.
- Fever or high temperature.
Other signs may include headache, toothache, coughing, bad breath, or pressure in the ears.
