Symptoms of Sinusitis


Wikipedia defines sinusitis as an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues.

It is better to know whether its just colds or sinusitis. Everyday Health shares some tips on how to know the signs and symptoms of Sinusitis:

* Headache in the morning
* Sore throat caused by post nasal drip
* Pain in upper jaw and teeth and cheeks are tender
* Nasal congestion
* Earaches, neck pain, and deep aching at the top of your head

Sinusitis can sometimes be acute or chronic. Acute Sinusitis are treated with over the counter antibiotics and bed rest. Nasal irrigation is sometimes prescribed for chronic sinusitis. It is still best to consult your doctor at the earliest signs of sinusitis.
