Common Symptoms of Sinusitis

If you suspect you may have sinusitis, here are some symptoms to watch for:

1. Runny Nose Lasting Over 7-10 Days
   A persistent runny nose that doesn’t improve after a week may indicate a sinus infection rather than a common cold.

2. Cough
   This symptom often worsens at night due to postnasal drip irritating the throat.

3. Swelling Around the Eyes
   Inflammation can cause noticeable swelling and tenderness around the eyes and forehead.

4. Postnasal Drip
   Excess mucus can drip down the back of your throat, causing discomfort and throat irritation.

5. Headache
   Sinus headaches are typically felt in the forehead, behind the eyes, or on either side of the nose.

6. Facial Pain
   Pain or pressure in the cheeks, nose, or forehead can occur, especially when bending over.

7. Bad Breath
   Chronic sinusitis can lead to halitosis due to the accumulation of bacteria and mucus.

8. Fever
   A mild fever may accompany sinusitis, especially in cases caused by bacterial infections.

9. A Feeling of Fullness in the Ears
   Sinus pressure can extend to the ears, causing a sensation of fullness or mild hearing difficulty.

10. Decreased Sense of Smell
    Blocked nasal passages and inflammation can make it hard to detect scents.

How to Manage and Treat Sinusitis

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to thin mucus and promote drainage.
• Steam Therapy: Inhaling steam or using a humidifier can relieve nasal congestion.
• Saline Nasal Sprays: These help to clean the nasal passages and reduce inflammation.
• Rest: Adequate sleep allows your body to recover and fight infection.
• Medications: Over-the-counter decongestants or prescribed antibiotics (in bacterial cases) may be needed.
• Natural Remedies: Herbal teas, honey, and essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint can provide relief.
