Sinus issues plague more than 29 million people in the United States.
Sinusitis or a sinus infection is a common condition and can occur in adults and children after an upper respiratory infection, a common cold, or allergies. Sinuses are hollow cavities found near your nasal passage and eyes. The infection becomes trapped in the sinus cavities and may cause inflammation, pressure and pain.
There are different types of sinusitis including acute, subacute, chronic or recurrent.
Symptoms of sinusitis may include runny nose or other cold symptoms lasting longer than 10 days, postnasal drip, headaches, facial discomfort, bad breath, cough, fever, sore throat and swelling around the eyes.
In the latest episode of the BayCare Clinic podcast, Dr. David Gossman, otolaryngologist with BayCare Clinic Ear, Nose & Throat discusses chronic sinusitis and why there may be more to your sinus issues than you think.
