sinusitis

Painful inflammation of one of the sinuses, or air spaces, that surround the nasal passages. Most cases clear with antibiotics and nasal decongestants, but some require surgical drainage.

Sinusitis most frequently involves the maxillary sinuses, within the cheek bones, producing pain around the eyes, toothache, and a nasal discharge.

Chronic sinusitis is the most common disease in the USA, with about 37 million sufferers.

Recent research shows that chronic sinusitis is caused by fungal infections.
