Sinuses are small air-filled cavities behind your forehead and cheekbones.
Mucus produced by your sinuses usually drained into your nose through small channels.
Sinusitis is a common condition in which the lining of the sinuses becomes inflamed, blocking the channels and preventing mucus draining away. It is usually caused by a viral infection and often improves within two or three weeks.
Sinusitis usually occurs after an upper respiratory tract infection, such as a cold. If you have a persistent cold and show the symptoms below, you may have sinusitis.
Symptoms of sinusitis include:
- Blocked nose
- Green or yellow discharge from your nose
- Pain and tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
- A high temperature (fever) of 38oC or more
- Sinus headache
- Toothache
- Reduced sense of smell
- Bad breath.
Children with sinusitis may breathe through their mouth, be irritable and have difficulty feeding. Their speech may also sound nasal (as though they have a stuffy cold).
Sinusitis often clears up within a few weeks (acute sinusitis) without treatment. Occasionally symptoms can last three months or more (chronic sinusitis).
