Sinusitis is a health problem where the paranasal sinuses (nasal cavities) become inflamed and painful. Occurring in acute or chronic forms, sinusitis leads to uncomfortable symptoms such as nasal congestion, nasal discharge, headache, and facial pain.
Among the main factors contributing to the development of sinusitis are allergies, colds, flu, irritants such as dust or cigarette smoke, bacterial or viral infections. Additionally, weakened immune system, structural abnormalities in the nose, and chronic diseases like asthma can also increase the risk of sinusitis.
To alleviate sinusitis complaints, it is necessary to identify the causes and apply appropriate treatment methods. In mild cases, drug therapy may suffice, while more severe situations may require surgical procedures (sinus surgery). Proper diagnosis and treatment ensure effective management of sinusitis.
When not addressed properly, sinusitis can become chronic and negatively impact daily life. Therefore, it is important to consult an otorhinolaryngology specialist regarding nasal and sinus health.
