Acute sinusitis is defined as a sinus infection that lasts less than four weeks<\/a>, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology. Acute sinusitis usually follows a cold or other similar illness. Chronic sinusitis persists for twelve weeks or more, or recurs as multiple acute episodes. Chronic sinusitis can sometimes be attributed to the anatomy of the sinus cavities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinusitis Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many symptoms of sinusitis<\/a>, which are usually the same whether acute or chronic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain in the sinuses\nis one of the most common symptoms of sinusitis. There are many sinus cavities\nin the face, located above and below the eyes as well as behind the nose. Any\nor all of them can hurt during an infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also might\nexperience pain that radiates to the forehead, nose, jaws, teeth and eyes. This\ncan cause a headache or trigger a migraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congestion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inflamed sinuses and swollen nasal cavities restrict airflow and cause congestion. Nasal congestion <\/a>can also lead to poor smell and taste, and your voice may sound stuffy. Congestion tends to be worse when laying down and may be especially uncomfortable in the morning when you wake up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discharge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sinusitis causes\nnasal discharge as the sinuses drain mucus into the nasal passage. This mucus\nmay appear cloudy, green or yellow and may cause you to need to blow your nose\na lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to nasal\ndischarge, mucus can bypass the nose and drain into the throat, which is known\nas postnasal drip. Postnasal drip causes coughing, sore throat and hoarseness,\nand also tends to be worse when laying down at night to fall asleep and when\nyou wake up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Relief for Sinusitis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While most sinus\ninfections clear up on their own, some require treatment with antibiotics. For\ncases of chronic sinusitis, a physician may recommend surgery to open the nasal\npassages. \n\nFor more information about sinusitis or to see an ENT\nphysician to seek treatment, call ENT of Georgia today.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
