CHRONIC SINUSITIS TREATMENT

 Sinusitis occurs when there is an infection in one or more of your paranasal sinuses. The most common cause of this type of infection is a cold virus. Other causes include allergies, asthma, nasal polyps, deviated septum, enlarged adenoids, dental problems, tumors, cysts, and foreign bodies.

 The symptoms of chronic sinusitis vary from person to person depending on which part of the body is affected. They may be mild or severe. Mild symptoms usually last less than 4 months. Severe symptoms last significantly longer and often require medical treatment. 

Risk Factors

 Certain elements are known to heighten one's risk of infection:

• Tobacco smoke: Tobacco use increases the risk of getting sick with certain types of viral illnesses. It also worsens asthma attacks and reduces lung function. Smoking has been linked to increased rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, another cause of chronic sinusitis.
• Exposure to airborne particles: Pollutants such as exhaust fumes, industrial chemicals, dust, pollen, and more can irritate your sinuses and lead to severe infection. 
• Infection: Certain types of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections can spread into your sinuses and make them swell up.
