Sinus Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the air-filled cavities that surround the nose, usually due to an infection or to congestion that prevents their drainage. It can appear after a cold or due to allergies.
Common symptoms:
- Nasal congestion and thick discharge
- Pressure or pain in the face, forehead, or around the eyes
- Reduced sense of smell and headache
When should you see a doctor? if the symptoms last a long time, there is high fever, or the discomfort keeps coming back, an evaluation is advisable.
The otolaryngologist is the specialist who treats problems of the nose and paranasal sinuses, while a general practitioner can provide guidance at the outset. In the case of congestion that does not go away, seeking the opinion of a professional is the most reasonable course.
