Learn about the various conditions related to the nose
WHAT IS SINUSITIS?
The following symptoms may occur:
- Congestion.
- Nasal congestion.
- Nasal drainage.
- Post-nasal drip.
- Cough and sore throat.
- Pus (yellow or green).
Sinusitis is a very common condition that requires annual treatment in the United States. Symptoms can vary from short-term (acute) to chronic, which tend to worsen over time and last for more than a month. Although there are many causes for inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, such as viral infections or allergies, it can also be caused by non-infectious factors.
En la mayoría de los casos, la rinosinusitis aguda es una enfermedad viral. The only reliable indicator of the transition from an infection to a bacterial syndrome occurs when symptoms last more than 10-14 days without any improvement in severity or resolution during this time; at that point, antibiotics should be used accordingly based on expert advice available through your local hospital/healthcare provider network.
