Sinositis

Sinusitis is a common inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the cavities that produce the mucus necessary for the nasal passages to work effectively. It can be acute or chronic, and it can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, allergies, or even an autoimmune reaction. Although uncomfortable and painful, sinusitis often goes away without medical intervention. However, if symptoms last more than 7 to 10 days, or if there is a fever or a bad headache, you should see your doctor.

Types

The different types are:

Acute sinusitis: This lasts up to 4 weeks and is the most common type.

Subacute sinusitis: Symptoms last longer than the normal acute period, for between 4 and 12 weeks.

Chronic sinusitis: Symptoms persist, or continually return, after 12 weeks. It may need more invasive treatment, and possibly surgery.

Recovery time and treatment depend on the type of sinusitits.

Treatment

Treatment options depend on how long the condition lasts.

Most acute cases will resolve without treatment.

However, sinusitis can be uncomfortable, so people often use home remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) medications to relieve symptoms.

In the following cases, the person should see a doctor:

Symptoms persist longer than 7 to 10 days.

There is a fever higher than 101.5° Fahrenheit, or around 38.6° Celsius.
