A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is the inflammation of the tissue lining the sinuses, often caused by a viral or bacterial infection. This leads to symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and thick nasal discharge.

Sinus infections can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. They often follow a cold or respiratory infection that leads to swelling and blockage of the sinuses, allowing germs to grow.

Common symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, thick nasal discharge, reduced sense of smell, headache, cough, and fatigue.

Sinus infections are typically diagnosed based on symptoms and an examination. In some cases, imaging tests like a CT scan or an endoscopy may be used to assess the sinuses.

Treatment may include decongestants, nasal saline rinses, steam inhalation, and pain relievers. Antibiotics may be prescribed if a bacterial infection is suspected. Chronic sinusitis may require corticosteroids or surgery.

Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene, avoiding allergens and irritants, using a humidifier, and managing allergies. Staying hydrated and using saline nasal sprays can also help keep the sinuses clear.

You should see a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 10 days, worsen after initial improvement, or are accompanied by a high fever. Chronic or recurrent sinus infections also warrant medical attention.

Sinus infections themselves are not contagious, but the viruses that cause them, such as the common cold, can be spread from person to person.

If left untreated, sinus infections can lead to complications such as chronic sinusitis, ear infections, or, in rare cases, infections that spread to nearby areas like the eyes or brain.

Acute sinusitis typically lasts less than four weeks and is often caused by a viral infection. Chronic sinusitis lasts 12 weeks or longer and may be due to ongoing inflammation, structural issues, or persistent infections.

Yes, our fee above includes the examination, review of your labs and sending a prescription to the pharmacy you prefer to use, if necessary. However, the cost of the medication is not included.

The timeline for feeling better after starting treatment for a sinus infection can vary. For acute sinusitis, symptoms often begin to improve within a few days of starting treatment, especially if antibiotics are prescribed for a bacterial infection. However, it may take up to two weeks for symptoms to fully resolve. For chronic sinusitis, improvement might take longer, and ongoing treatment may be necessary to manage symptoms effectively. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider.
