Sinusitis

Sinusitis is when the tissue lining the sinuses become swollen or inflamed. It occurs as the result of an inflammatory reaction or an infection from a virus, bacteria or fungus.

Types of Sinusitis:

Acute Sinusitis is when symptoms are present for 4 weeks or less. It is caused by bacteria growing in the sinuses.

Sub-acute sinusitis is when the swelling is present between one to 3 months.

Chronic Sinusitis is when the swelling of the sinuses is present for longer than 3 months. It may be caused by bacteria or a fungus.

There are 4 different pairs of sinuses:

Frontal Sinuses: The right and left frontal sinuses are located over and around your eyes. Specifically they are situated near the center of your forehead. Just above each eyes.

Maxillary Sinuses: The Maxillary sinuses are the largest of the sinuses. They are positioned behind your cheek bone near your maxillary or upper jaw.

Sphenoid Sinuses: The Sphenoid sinuses are located behind your skull, near your optic nerve and pituitary gland.

Ethmoid Sinuses: These sinuses are situated between your eyes and the bridge of your nose. Ethmoid sinuses consist of a collection of 6 to 12 air cells that open into your nasal passage.

Signs and Symptoms:

  • Fatigue
