OVERVIEW

What Is Chronic Sinusitis?

hronic sinusitis is a condition where the cavities around your nasal passages become inflamed and swollen for at least 12 weeks, despite treatment attempts. It interferes with drainage and causes mucus buildup, making it difficult to breathe through your nose. The area round your eyes and face may feel swollen, and you may experience facial pain or tenderness.

Common Symptoms

Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing through the nose

Thick, discolored discharge from the nose or down the throat

Pain, tenderness, and swelling around eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead

Reduced sense of smell and taste

Ear pressure or fullness

Fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating

Understanding the Cause

What Is Chronic Sinusitis?

🔬

Common Symptoms

A deviated septum, nasal polyps, or narrow sinus passages can physically block drainage, trapping mucus and creating a breeding ground for infection.

⚙️

Chronic Inflammation

Allergies, environmental irritants, and immune responses can keep sinus tissues perpetually wollen, preventing normal airflow and mucus clearance.

🧬

Recurring Infections

Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections that don't fully resolve can create a cycle of inflammation and reinfection that becomes self-sustaining over time.
