Sinus Infection

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses that can cause them to get blocked and filled with fluid. It is usually caused by colds or allergies. An infection could result from the blockage. Sinusitis is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. The sinuses are four paired cavities (spaces) in the head. They are connected by narrow channels. The sinuses make thin mucus that drains out of the channels of the nose. This drainage helps keep the nose clean and free of bacteria. Normally filled with air, the sinuses can get blocked and filled with fluid. When that happens, bacteria can grow and cause an infection (bacterial sinusitis). This is also called rhinosinusitis, with “rhino” meaning “nose.” The nasal tissue is almost always swollen if sinus tissue is inflamed. You might have a sinus infection, also called sinusitis.

A sinus infection can happen to anyone. However, people with nasal allergies, nasal polyps, asthma, and abnormal nose structures are all more likely to get sinusitis. Smoking can also increase how often you get a sinus infection. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a cold, allergies, and a sinus infection. The common cold typically builds, peaks, and slowly disappears. It lasts a few days to a week. A cold can transform into a sinus infection. Nasal allergy is inflammation of the nose due to irritating particles (dust, pollen, and dander). Symptoms of a nasal allergy can include sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, congestion, runny nose, and postnasal drip (mucus in the throat). Sinusitis and allergy symptoms can happen at the same time as a common cold. If you are fighting off a cold and develop symptoms of a sinus infection or nasal allergy, see your healthcare provider.

Sinusitis can be caused by a virus, bacteria, or fungus that swells and blocks the sinuses. 

• The common cold. 
• Nasal and seasonal allergies, including allergies to mold. 
• Polyps (growths). 
• A deviated septum. 
• The septum is the line of cartilage that divides your nose. A deviated septum means that it isn’t straight, so it is closer to the nasal passage on one side of your nose, causing a blockage. 
• A weak immune system from illness or medications. For infants and young children, spending time in daycares, using pacifiers, or drinking bottles while lying down could increase the chances of getting sinusitis. For adults, smoking increases the risk of sinus infections. If you smoke, you should stop. Smoking is harmful to you and to the people around you.
