Sinus Infection Q & A

Why do I have a sinus infection?

A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, means that the delicate lining of your sinuses is inflamed or swollen. The more this inflammation progresses, the higher your chances of fluid building up in your sinuses. This is ideal grounds for germs to thrive, which leads to an infection.

Many types of foreign invaders and issues can increase your risk of developing a sinus infection. This painful condition can occur if you have:

  • The common cold
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Nasal polyps
  • Deviated septum
  • Weakened immune system

Plus, your risk of sinusitis is higher if you’re a smoker or are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke.

What are the symptoms of a sinus infection?

Symptoms of a sinus infection, which can mimic the common cold, can vary from mild to severe. When you have a sinus infection, you may experience:

  • Cough
  • Loss of smell
  • Bad breath
  • Fever and fatigue
  • Postnasal drip
  • Nasal stuffiness
  • Chest congestion
  • Facial tenderness
  • Pain in your jaws or teeth

You may develop an acute sinus infection, which tends to cause symptoms for about two to four weeks. But some men and women suffer from chronic sinus infections that lead to cold-like symptoms for over 12 weeks.

In any case, if you have any signs or symptoms of a sinus infection, visit with the dedicated practitioners at Express Lane Urgent Care right away to get started on your treatment plan.
