Video - Sinusitis

Sinusitis is a common condition in which the paranasal sinuses become inflamed, which makes it more difficult for them to drain. The condition can be caused by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, or by other factors such as allergies. Symptoms of sinusitis include facial pain, headaches, fevers, congestion, nasal discharge, and a cough that's typically worse at night. Treatment may include antibiotics, decongestants, and pain relievers. In some cases, sinus surgery may be necessary to open up the wall of the infected sinus to allow it to drain more easily into the nasal cavity.
