Understanding Sinusitis
Sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection, is the inflammation of the sinus cavities, which can lead to symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and pressure. Sinusitis can be acute (lasting less than four weeks) or chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks). The condition can significantly affect quality of life, making breathing and daily activities difficult.
