Sinus infection treatment available online today
A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. Sinuses are hollow cavities located around the nose and eyes, and they produce mucus that helps to humidify the air we breathe in and trap bacteria and other particles. When the sinus passages become blocked due to factors such as allergies, infections, or anatomical issues, bacteria, viruses, or fungi can grow within them, leading to an infection.
Sinus infection Causes
Sinus infections can be acute (short-term) or chronic (lasting longer than 12 weeks despite treatment). Acute sinusitis is often caused by a viral infection and can improve on its own or with symptomatic treatment, while chronic sinusitis may require more aggressive treatment approaches, such as antibiotics, nasal corticosteroids, or even surgery in severe cases.
