There are times we ignore issues in our bodies that require our attention. Unless the problem or the pain becomes unbearable, we, humans, avoid going to the doctor. We forget that sometimes small issues in the body could also be a sign of something big. One of these problems is chronic sinusitis whose symptoms are usually taken lightly by people, leading to serious consequences. According to a report in mayoclinic.org, chronic sinusitis has the following symptoms and causes. Also, let’s see what we need to do to take care of it.

Remember that sometimes a cold due to a change of season or any other reason can not be called a sinus. But how do we identify symptoms of sinusitis? Swelling and pain near eyes, cheeks, nose, or head, bad breath, unable to feel any smell, ear pain, headache, jaw and toothache, nose blockage or running nose, breathing difficulty, sore throat etc are some of the symptoms of sinusitis. Any infection in nose or teeth, diseases like HIV or cystic fibrosis, immune system disorder, fewer and allergy, virus, fungus and bacteria, animal dander, smoke and dust, tumour.
Chronic sinus happens when despite the treatment, swelling remains in the inner part of the nose and head for three months or more. In this disease, the nose remains filled and there are breathing difficulties. When there is a problem in the eyes, loss of vision, infection in skin and bones and other symptoms of sinusitis remain for a very long time, it can also lead to chronic sinuses.
